Occasional grousing about #bcpoli, transportation, Whitecaps, Canucks, #CMNT, Seahawks, and BC Lions. Mostly interested in what other have to say. Policy wonkish. Proudly Canadian.

You know, ABC/Sim had the option to quietly ask staff not to bring the villages plan to council before the election. It's almost like they wanted to create a firestorm then swoop in to "save" the city. Interesting election strategy.

As *tech*, AI isn't exceptional. It's not exceptionally wicked. It's not exceptionally good. Take away the accompanying, galactic-scale stock-swindle, and we'd call AI's apps "plug-ins" and we'd use them and abuse them in the same way that we've used every other technology: www.normaltech.ai 1/

The precarity of safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz was an issue for nearly a decade before this Far Side cartoon was published. Less than seven months later, the USS Vincennes recklessly shot down an Iran Air passenger jet, killing all 290 aboard. Just another forgotten American atrocity.

Chris Penso should never ref again after that atrocious performance. 2 pull downs in the box (not called), constant holding inexplicable phantom time at the end of the first half. Glad coach ripped him for 2+ minutes at end of game...vanni-like!

Good home game for Whitecaps FC. Some thoughts: 1 Priso and Blackmon are a wall that are going to be extremely difficult to break down. 2. Nice overlap and cross by Tate to AZ on goal 3. Why the hell is MLS wanting to move from one of the venues that can host winter soccer? Absolutely stupid. #vwfc

This is superb. Wayne Horton may have invented a new genre of journalism. This is a deeply informed, wonderfully enlightening essay on how to behave in bad faith negotiations, as well as a perfect reading of Carney's manner and thinking, and it's satire. It is explanatory parody. And it's right.

Abysmal statement from Canada on the illegal US action in Venezuela. It doesn’t matter how much you dislike Maduro, that doesn’t justify a violation of international law and the UN Charter. You can’t call on “all parties” to respect international law and not call out US lawlessness.
