If we’ve spent money on pipelines then we can bloody well buy Stelco from this creep. And make a vow to never, ever let Americans buy our vital industries. And while we’re at it - bring back Canadian ownership of our news media. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Today is Leif Erikson Day. The day commemorates the arrival of Erikson and the Norse in what is now Canada around 1000 years ago and the founding of the Norse settlement of L'Anse aux meadows in Newfoundland and Labrador. 🎨 Hans Dahl
A group of Viking warriors stands on a rocky coastline, with a leader holding an axe and shield in the foreground, pointing toward the sea. Other warriors with spears and shields are nearby, while longships sail in the background. The scene features a dramatic seascape with waves, distant mountains, and seagulls flying under a cloudy sky.

I’m all for drawing clearer lines and diplomatically pushing back. But this is inconsequential, even in context of a “slippery slope”, and shouldn’t get anyone’s dander up. It’s not the fight worth having, not when there are so many that are.

I don’t disagree with any of that. (Especially the reference to Danes — my MIL is Danish and I’m never getting rid of her 😂) I just don’t see this particular incident as a retreat or that our government is walking back policy, and certainly not that they are denying the FIMI threat.

Standing our ground is different than causing an unnecessary dust up. Not sure what upside you see in our government at this stage endorsing a conference discussing U.S. disinfo.

There is no benefit to the Cdn gov’t publicly backing a conference pointing a finger at the U.S., only risk. It doesn’t signal they aren’t paying attention, only that it’s not prudent to endorse it. Also, they weren’t alone. Lithuania and the European External Action Service also pulled out.

For all those who want to lash out at the Carney government, this is not worth your ire. Pulling sponsorship of a “conference largely attended by researchers and civil society organizations” is not the same as ignoring US disinfo in the world. ½ www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I disagree. It was a prudent, if unfortunately necessary, diplomatic move. What would have been embarrassing is for Canada’s sponsorship to lead to another verbal dust-up with the U.S. Sponsoring a conference with those kinds of panels (no matter how accurate) wouldn’t help Canada’s position.

Meta's agentic AI product Muse has had a rocky few weeks since launch.

Same goes for the Jays. $35 a month is a lot to spend to catch the occasional game (or part of a game). I no longer subscribe, but would for Sept-Oct if it appeared they were playing meaningful games. It’s even hard to listen to the games now.

Parts of the spacecraft interior and window frame are visible around the small illuminated planet.A thin crescent Earth hangs above the rugged lunar horizon against the blackness of space. The Moon’s cratered surface stretches across the bottom of the image.A distant, partially illuminated Earth floating alone in deep black space. Swirling white clouds and blue-gray oceans are visible on the lit side.Close-up of a circular Apollo spacecraft window surrounded by metal hardware, markings, bolts, and controls.

On Oct. 4, 1957, the Avro Arrow was unveiled with the intention of it being the RCAF's primary interceptor in the 1960s. Less than two years later, the program was abruptly cancelled and 14,528 Avro employees were put out of work. This is the story. 📸 LAC 🧵 1/12
