Last night I put on a custom breastplate and performed the new Ave Maria Variation: Recovery This was my first post-surgery show. Enormous thanks and gratitude to Vital Circus for the opportunity to share stage with so many incredible artists.

It’s nice to see accountability now and again.

Even if it’s window dressing.

Under normal circumstances I would have absolutely no idea what half forgettable show you are talking about except they filmed the Boston Blue St Patrick’s Day scene a block from my house in Toronto. Sparkly shamrocks all over the sidewalk last November.

All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace

I like to think (and
the sooner the better!)
of a cybernetic meadow
where mammals and computers
live together in mutually
programming harmony
like pure water
touching clear sky.

I like to think
(right now, please!)
of a cybernetic forest
filled with pines and electronics
where deer stroll peacefully
past computers
as if they were flowers
with spinning blossoms.

I like to think
(it has to be!)
of a cybernetic ecology
where we are free of our labors
and joined back to nature,
returned to our mammal
brothers and sisters,
and all watched over
by machines of loving grace.
-Richard Brautigan

Between toilet paper and cardboard for all the online shipping I don’t think a lignin (the byproduct for artificial vanilla) shortage is likely. Imitation vanilla can also be made from petroleum byproducts which unfortunately also remains a very large industry.

Good news is that most gummies are made with agar and other non-animal products instead of gelatin. Gelatin gummies need to be cooked while agar type ones are cooled (much easier to manufacture).
How to tell the difference:
Agar gummies squish.
Gelatin gummies bounce.

This is how artificial vanilla extract became a thing in grocery stores. It’s a byproduct of the process of making wood pulp for paper.

Conversely, a problem I often have in real life is referencing a theremin and getting a room of blank faces not understanding what I’m talking about!

There is a type of outdated safety device based on the same technology.

Overwhelming majority of Canadian citizens have no interest in becoming members of the United States. Musing about the USA committing war crimes against Canada isn’t a ‘fun thought experiment’.

We're tired after everything that's transpired in the last month & we know that we're not alone. Please give people the opportunity to process everything in their own way & be respectful.

We want to say thank you for doing what you can & that it's okay to take breaks. How's everyone doing? 💙

Welcome to Trumpworld, where the developer-in-chief sees dollar signs in the rubble of Gaza In the White House’s venerable East Room, it became clear that Trump 2.0 is entering a dangerously expansionist phase

Someone is hellbent on poking all the bears as fast as possible. Can only assume an excuse to declare martial law is the endgame.

Starting trade wars to make it easier to take over the government was literally the plot to the Star Wars prequels.

We also had the guts to say no to your country when it tried to drag us into a completely unjustified and destabilizing war in Iraq.

We built a nation across the most rugged, challenging geography imaginable. And we did it against the odds.

We may look easy-going. Mild-mannered. But make no mistake, we have spine and toughness.

And that leads me to my second message, to all our leaders, federal and provincial, as well as those who are aspiring to lead our country: Start showing that spine and toughness. That’s what Canadians want to see – what they need to see. It’s called leadership. You need to lead. Canadians are ready to follow.

I know the spirit is there. Ever since Mr. Trump’s attacks, every political party is speaking out in favour of Canada. In fact, it is to my great satisfaction that even the Bloc Québécois is defending Canada.

But you don’t win a hockey game by only playing defence. We all know that even when we satisfy one demand, Mr. Trump will come back with another, bigger demand. That’s not diplomacy; it’s blackmail.

We need another approach – one that will break this cycle.

Mr. Trump has accomplished one thing: He has unified Canadians more than we have been ever before! All leaders across our country have united in resolve to defend Canadian interests.

When I came into office as prime minister, Canada faced a national unity crisis. The threat of Quebec separation was very real. We took action to deal with this existential threat in a manner that made Canadians, including Quebeckers, stronger, more united and even prouder of Canadian values.

Now there is another existential threat. And we once again need to reduce our vulnerability. That is the challenge for this generation of political leaders.

And you won’t accomplish it by using the same old approaches. Just like we did 30 years ago, we need a Plan B for 2025.

Yes, telling the Americans we are their best friends and closest trading partner is good. So is lobbying hard in Washing…
