My first trip on the G2G was this past Labour Day weekend. My 12yr old and I biked the whole thing. This 2.7km portion would be so much nicer when it is finished!

Eggs, toast, sliced apples, chocolate chip banana bread, yogurt, with chips and popcorn: our family's breakfast while we watch CAN vs USA men's hockey gold medal game!!

Tomorrow's CAN vs USA men's gold medal Olympic game is going to be insane.

May our boys sleep well tonight.

Go Canada go!

Just a reminder that a bar is a safe consumption site and alcohol caused 17,000 deaths in Canada in 2020. The Ford government closed down the supervised consumption site in my neighbourhood. No matter what the substance, regulated and observed is safer than illicit and alone.

"Every time someone rides a bike—for transportation, for joy, for health, for protest, or for survival—they’re moving through systems shaped by public policy, power, and priorities. Who gets safe streets. Who doesn’t. Who breathes clean air. Who is protected—and who is put at risk"

Industrial carbon pricing is one of the most cost-effective tools Canada has to maintain competitiveness, diversify markets and cut emissions. Calls to weaken or eliminate this policy get some fundamentals wrong. Here are the facts ⬇️🧵

I didn't think I could dislike the American president more than I already did, but today he's descended to a new level of my loathing.

The old world order is dead. And dead with it is Canada's friendship with the US.

While we aren't adversaries - may that never be so - we aren't friends any more.

The AI bubble needs to burst. Its use-case is limited, but its harm-inducing uses are limitless. We need to corral this technology and ensure it is USEFUL to human flourishing. Like the Luddites of old, we need to make sure this tech benefits people, and doesn't replace/harm people.

Hmm...Maybe Canada ought to join the EU? Canada has far better access to critical minerals than Greenland. We have a far larger arctic region than Greenland 🇬🇱. And we have a massive shared border w/ the US. So, if tRump wants 🇬🇱, then what holds him back from taking 🇨🇦, as well?

It is a SNOW DAY in Toronto. All elementary schools, high schools, and child care centres based out of those schools are closed!

Already the kids and I are making grand plans for snow forts, tobogganing, and chasing the dog 🐕 through steep snow banks.

Should be fun!

But be safe out there!

All TDSB schools and sites, including child care centres, are closed today due to the weather forecast.

Canada knows that if Greenland falls we are next. You can bet that Canada will be putting troops on the ground if Denmark issues Article IV of the NATO charter.

That's how I finish all my personal emails, and sometimes how I sign off with professional emails:

There's no chance that I'd willingly buy an American product clothing these days. I feel somewhat conflicted about this because there are a lot of great American artisans and designers, but I can't bring myself to support an economy that is being directed by a President to annex us.
Go Canada 🇨🇦

Trump lived off Russian mob money. He invaded Venezuela for the oil.
He's a gangster who claims, "American dominance in the Western Hemisphere will never be questioned again."
You don't get it Donnie.
Canadians understand thugs. We will fight you and your criminal nation every step of the way.

Alberta's Smith says notwithstanding clause increasingly likely amid unpopular court rulings Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said in a year-end interview she's increasingly willing to use the notwithstanding clause.

Dangerous (and Trumpy) nonsense.

The courts exist to interpret and protect our rights — even, and maybe especially, the unpopular ones.

The fact that they aren’t elected is a *good* thing.

Poilievre is done. I would wager real money on the likelihood that there'll be a third Con to defect to the Liberals before the Cons have their leadership vote in January. And if the Libs get a majority, then Poilievre will be relegated to a fascinating little episode in Canadian political history.
