Never in history has there been a war in which 80% of the country was destroyed, 100% of the population displaced, and 50% of the deaths were children. Let's call it by its name: GENOCIDE. #cdnpoli

“We shall see. It is early days. But something enormous is under way. Even as the old world order cracks, a new one is forming. And Canada is at the centre of it.” 🎁 www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/6f45f42...
But whatever befalls us, at least let it be said that we did not simply let history wash over us, as helpless spectators to our fate - that we acted to shape events: to build our de-fences, to expand our options, to improve our odds. This week, it felt as if something in the country had been unleashed, as if that surge in unity and patriotism we have all been feeling over the last few months had finally been chan-nelled into something purposeful.

I attended a celebration last night. Two of the speakers used AI to help them write their remarks. (Small consolation, they both honestly disclosed this fact.) It saddened me to no end. What makes people think AI is better than speaking from the heart? Really, people. Just write your own thoughts.

Do yourself a favor and leave your phone in the other room. Pick up a book and read it uninterrupted for a long time. Pay attention and notice how good it feels not to be constantly interrupted by digital notifications. It's a miracle that we used to live like this. We don't know what we're missing.

In 1969, brothers Pat and Lolly Vasquez named their band Redbone after a Cajun word for mixed-blood, proudly claiming their Native roots. By 1974, "Come and Get Your Love" hit #5 on Billboard.

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.
