Thanks for talking with me about this, Dale. With Musk using Starlink access to tip the scales in the Ukraine war, there's never been a more important time to be thinking about digital sovereignty.

Good. I'm on record saying they should have to be as gaudy and obvious as toy guns.

The @caninternetsociety.bsky.social and the Internet Society hosted a briefing for senators on Bill C-22. @senatorpaulasimons.bsky.social contributed much to our discussions. Today, Senator Simons spoke out against the bill in a highly compelling and extremely well-researched speech.

I had the pleasure of joining Ian Hanomansing on @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social's Cross-Country Checkup to discuss employee surveillance and bossware. The whole segment's worth a listen (I pop in around 22:50). Thanks to Ian and the CBC for the chance to deal with this burning issue. cbc.ca/9.7359142

Met my old mentee at Sonic Boom. Bumped into an old friend taking his niece to lunch at Factory Girl. Found a new vinyl shop in an alley off Queen. Met the wife for a drink at Castro's bar where seniors were dancing to a solid cover band. AND challenged two other guys on canes to a race. Good day.

Also, if you're working late and order in a sub, don't greet the Uber guy at the door by muttering "SUBBY SUBBY SUBBY." Lesson learned.
