I’m willing to make some allowances for that, because this is mid-process and the city’s (almost always) going to come back along and fix it.

Oddest damn thing.

One after the next.

All on one block.

Weird how all these snow piles gathered on sidewalks near the red Noel plowing company signs.

I’m confused about the form of this release, which seems to be describing another, fuller statement. Is there another statement?

I bet the list of people in America who seriously think Sharia "law" should have any more significance there than Kosher law is shorter than this one.

The folks I talk to generally think that's coming but it will take quite a bit longer before crewed fighters are obsolete. The tech in them is also advancing.

>> “I think we want to get to an agreement, but we are facing some headwinds in the negotiations,” Hoekstra said, citing a lack of “substantive” discussions since October.

Remind me what happened in October?

Canada considers joining U.K., Italy and Japan to develop future fighter jets - The Logic Joining the group could up the pressure on Canada to buy U.S.-made F-35s as the new jets would operate alongside them

Canada hasn't taken delivery of one F-35 fighter yet, but several of our F-35-using allies are already working on a generation of planes to come after. We might well join them ... and that could make it a lot harder to ditch F-35s for Swedish Gripens right now.

I mean, if you're not actively fighting a war, I'd imagine your use of ammo will tend to be pretty low.

I strongly approve of the way the numbering has worked out. Very tidy.

Liberals renew push for police access to digital communications - The Logic The “lawful access” powers proposed are more limited than the ones in a previous bill, but critics say changes from the last failed attempt aren’t enough

The Liberals have scaled back the "lawful access" rights they want police to have to digital communications, and added some oversight. The core security worries about installing backdoors in commercial digital systems are still there: thelogic.co/news/bill-c-...

What happens when you don't die on time? Hélène Campbell was supposed to be long dead by now. She emptied her bucket list, bank account — and at 34, is left to wonder: “What next?”

What happens when the end doesnt come? A terrific story about a topic you’ve probably never thought of before ottawacitizen.com/news/when-yo...

For Canada, the march of the killer robots is getting hard to avoid - The Logic Canada took a stand against autonomous lethal weapons. Donald Trump’s attacks on Anthropic suggest old ideas about AI warfare no longer apply.

Canada's taken a principled position against fully autonomous lethal military weapons: decisions to kill must go through humans, says DND.

What happens if our adversaries—or even our allies—don't live by the same rule?

Here's my best attempt at finding out.

The abstract and introduction *average out* to one readily understandable English paragraph.

If you're in government and you FA too much with FOI officers, you'll FO shortly.

Also, it's hard to maintain broadcasting-level excitement around a hearing that starts when it starts (maybe when it's scheduled? maybe not?), includes participants you're not that interested in, refers to documents you can't see, and takes breaks of arbitrary length!

If it's feeling to you like it writes itself, I think that means you're the person to write it.

There are whiffs of things vaguely like this (but not really) in paragraph 28 of this: www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

and in U of T’s account of the visit: www.utoronto.ca/news/u-t-dee...

Maybe AI-generated slop that has just been repeated and iterated?

The hyphen will haunt me. There’s so much else wrong with the typesetting, but the hyphen is a sign of a diseased mind.

Also, though the importance of oil tends to drown this out, the Middle East is a major exporter of fertilizer.

That's infinitely sweet.

This is why journalists should not be friends with the people they cover. It‘s embarrassing for all concerned.

Would you send Bruno to shoot a public meeting or a charity dinner? Not if you could help it.

But you also wouldn’t choose your A1 art until you’d seen what Bruno had filed that day.

Many journalists are hard to work with, and they’re pretty much never good enough to justify how impossible they are. Bruno was.

A lovely obit of Bruno Schlumberger, a photographer so many of us had the pleasure of working with as reporters. Thanks, Bruce Deachman. @ottawacitizen.com #ottnews ottawacitizen.com/news/local-n...

The Ottawa Citizen building.

From an urbanism perspective, this kind of thing makes infinite sense. The property is underused and connected to the LRT by a new pedestrian bridge. Build housing!

It was my professional home for a long, long time, though, and that it'll be torn down makes me sad.
