Danforth #bikeTO not recommended. They did 1 pass near Chester stn, but snow kept coming.

Stretching after shovelling can really make you human again. #Torontostorm #onstorm

May be -25 wind chill, but FedEx cycling delivery folks still out wheeling around. #bikeTO

Good news: #coffee beans don't expire, they just go stale. Shout out to Hot Black Coffee downtown on Queen for gift of beans, butter tarts. #local #smallbusiness #notsbux

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

Cold enough not many veggies/fruit displayed at fruit stand. #food #shopping #city #photography

This is a lie. I was on the Danforth Saturday night, 24 hours after blizzard, & bike lanes were full of snow & car lanes clear. Sidewalks meh. This man makes things up to rage his way into the mayoral office. Tell your not-online friends & fam.

Seen at Book City Danforth-- surprised they have stock. #books #fiction #canlit #NovaScotia #writing

A very cute but forlorn looking brown and white puppy with big eyes and floppy ears, sitting on a forest themed blanket. Facebook post message: “Central PA Humane Society: Susan from Accounting is a 4 month old female. We were told she is a Beagle/Australian shepherd mix”

BREAKING: This dog is named Susan From Accounting

The 2026 verse for We Didn’t Start the Fire is already 14 minutes long

Missing Obama years? This is a great, sometimes funny #memoir that's also helpful in managing projects, written by his right hand person. Big takeaway-- lists are good. #cdnpoli #books #humour

Escape to bookland. Finished Dream Water by same author, Gail Tsukiyama-- amazing. Reading something similar? #books #fiction

Venezuela has the world’s most oil: Why doesn’t it earn more from exports? Venezuela holds the world's largest proven oil reserves, more than five times more than the United States.

I happen to know quite a bit about Venezuelan oil.

TL;DR it’s hard to extract, notoriously investor-endangering, isn’t needed (global crude is oversupplied to the tune of 3.3 min bpd) and isn’t easily refined (it’s too dense so always sold at a heavy discount)

Paging Canada: Your future doctors are fleeing the U.S. Before the US election, my wife and I talked about moving to Canada. 2 days after, we put the wheels in motion.

In February 2025, @nicktsergas.ca and I warned Canada to prepare for the anticipated influx of physicians immigrating north.

The time has come, and Canada is finally ready. Thanks to all Canadians who helped make this happen. 🇨🇦

Just remembered-- after holiday blur-- credit card bill & avoided late fee by whisker-- not insignificant fee at ~18% interest! #bank #profits #business
