So, ever wonder how tough baby Canada Geese are?

As it turns out they learn to scrap at a very young age.

so, like, #buycanadian.

but also it's morally fine to support Ben & Jerry's.

makes me think of josh johnson's luigi special. some ceos slept fine - Ben certainly deserves to.

note the security behaviour. never believe they're on our side.

Stop the sale of our public hospitals!

AUPE members joined Vice-President Azocar at the Alberta legislature to oppose Bill 55, the government’s latest move to make Albertans pay for private, American-style health care.

lol, i hear you. yeah, "shadow IT" is something i run into frequently.

i have found more willingness on behalf of frontline clients to truly collaborate, though. that's been a recent very encouraging development.

i think there's room for a layered approach of standardizing and custom tools. 🌱

Does anybody find it odd that Poilievre's biggest complaint about Carney's new cabinet is that there are holdovers from the Trudeau cabinet when Poilievre himself is a holdover from the Harper cabinet we booted from office in disgust?

Is it just me?

i hear this. much of my work is in "bandaid" solutions for overstretched, under-resourced teams working with systems older than i am.

...but my team is also overstretched, under-resourced and our leadership is basically middle age crisis "techbros".

what we've managed has helped, tho! lil things 🌱

they act like having official permission means anything down there, anymore.

murica, y'all deport your own damn citizens. y'know, folks who also don't need a visa?

this is *shrieking* of "religious trauma and repressed sexuality" that most teenage boys had grown out of by- oh fuck, that's supposed to be a grown ass man.

welp. carry on, america.

i work in an adjacent space in tech, and am interested in what the actual plans look like (if any).

i found the language in the platform encouraging, and carefully chosen. there are realistic ways to ease the intense demands of public service, but it cannot be rushed or based on hype.

well, they're still gonna run outta oil.

honestly, they'd make better progress if they let go of oil and embraced sustainable tech.

our old people ate too much lead. they're not able to adapt, anymore, and that's a key value to a functional democracy.

ugh.

that, but also it's the "stuck in the past" white man mentality.

we could be a great province, but people's blind dedication to oil & gas, aversion to change, and lack of imagination mean it feels stagnant.

i want to work in a place where i can help build something sustainable, ethical.

agreed with this take.

i would love to see the hammer of law, the judgement of long memory, and the Big Goose Energy of holding a good ol' canadian grudge levelled against these media companies.

that shit might sell in america. we need to pull back and ensure it doesn't sell here.
