The burden of sacrifice is always on the back of working Canadians. The tax breaks on those who don’t need it is a damn shame.

More subsidies for the billionaire Irving family.

Doesn't seem like a good time to be proposing huge water-sucking AI data centres in New Brunswick.

Parliamentary committee revises order to share federal grant applicant data A parliamentary committee has amended a controversial order that seeks 25 years' worth of data on researchers who applied for health and science grants.

The Feds amended their egregious data mining operation at the Tri-Councils but they pretended it had nothing to do with our protest! I’ll take it.

What’s your street name? Victor always makes fun of me because I’ve never been asked to do jury duty and I must be on a list of people to avoid but last month I finally got a card telling me to show up. I filled out …

My first time at jury duty. Is it always like this? thebloggess.com/2025/11/03/w...

I looked up the reasons why someone would use AI to write emails and one of the reasons is "personalization."

Do you know how you can personalize emails? By writing them yourself!

Saw a student walking around on campus with the AI Ray Bans, I believe. I guess my question is: How are we preparing for this entering the classroom? What can we possibly say about glasses in terms of policy? Sigh.

The Vikings/Lions game isn't televised where I live but the Chiefs/Bills game is, so I'm happy about that.

I'm starting to fill out the AI survey. I don't think this is going to go well.

On the far left, a vicious slaughter is taking place. In the background, all sorts of nightmares are unfolding. Meanwhile, clerics gather to pray. Notice how the devil’s arm sneaks into the Antichrist’s attire and transforms into his own arm — a clever representation of how the devil influences miscreants.

Happy Halloween, Blueskiis

Ready for a truly scary 👻 Old Master painting? In the center, a bald devil is feeding lies to an orange Antichrist. Accordingly, horrible things are unfolding in the background. More in the ALT 😈

Tim Houston can't see the forest for the trees, just for the money - Halifax Examiner If you go out in Nova Scotia's woods today, you might get a big and scary surprise.
