Concern here is not so much risk to government or Hydro or ratepayers, but to Indigenous communities.

It’s not clear what oversight (AMC? new Crown-Indigenous corp?) exists to ensure financial benefits flow to Indigenous communities who partner up with non-Indigenous companies.

That’s not new. Kinew government announced this in 2024.

It objected to Stefanson-era plan to buy power from private wind farms.

It replaced that with Indigenous-led wind power companies. Must be 51% Indigenous owned.

Travel is a luxury fewer and fewer of us can afford. That isn’t about to change.

The world is also becoming less welcoming.

My unsolicited advice: If you can go, go. Avoid the bitter regret of missing what may be a short window of opportunity.

I am fortunate. I got to see Hong Kong before Beijing tightened its grip.

I visited Hungary before its democracy faltered.

I spent many happy weeks in the U.S. Southwest, hiking in national parks before the nation grew divided and fearful.

I spent part of a short holiday in Denmark in 2025.

I plan to spend my tourist dollars in Latvia as soon as I can afford to do so.

I don’t need to spell out the theme here.

I spent a holiday in Taiwan in early 2024. Some friends asked why.

For starters, the island is beautiful, the food is fantastic and the Canadian dollar goes a long way.

But I also wanted to spend my tourist dollars in a democracy that thumbs its nose at an aggressive neighbour.

“American players account for only about 30 percent of the league, however, and these findings should not be extrapolated to the league’s sizable international player population.”

With apologies to Kurzweil and his ilk, the singularity will not be the moment AI becomes self-aware.

It will be something far more depressing, mundane …. and familiar.

“I’m not living in alarm. I just want to make sure that we are as a city well prepared for what may come.”
