Welcome to the research process! It involves some very impressive AI tools. If you have time to help me validate what the robots say, I would love that. Let’s turn this into a fun crowdsourcing project, yeah? En français aussi si ça vous chante. brigittepellerin.substack.com/p/adisoke-le...

They’re Quebec-good.

It’s honorary Quebec cheese. It’s only barely in Ontario. Doesn’t count. (And yes I like that one.)

How Quebec's special designation request for squeaky cheese curds is rubbing some in Ontario the wrong way A group representing Quebec’s dairy industry wants to get a special designation for the province’s cheese curds. But as Jodie Applewaith reports, cheesemakers in Ontario worry about how that label wil...

A life in pictures: Remembering Bruno Schlumberger Bruno Schlumberger's six National Newspaper Awards were the most any Canadian photographer received.

I loved it. Cried like a baby.

Boots is very impressed with the tool that’s letting me create a lovely timeline of the Ādisōke project.
