Call of the Wilde: Montreal Canadiens start the season with a tight victory over the Maple Leafs in Toronto - Montreal | Globalnews.ca
The Montreal Canadiens drew the Maple Leafs in Toronto and it was a match-up that Montreal has struggled with, but not this time. The Canadiens posted a tight 3-2 win.

Je pense qu'on a besoin d'un peu plus de philosophes et de neuroscientifiques et d'un peu moins d'ingénieurs dans le débat sur l'intelligence. Question de proportion, c'est toute. «It is ‘not contrary to reason to prefer the destruction of the whole world to the scratching of my finger.» -David Hume

It’s a bit odd to talk about potential costs when in reality nobody has *any* idea what Carney actually has in mind, I can’t remember a single time in the past 50 years where one man was given such latitude to determine Canada’s future in the absence of *any* public debate or discussion.

America's roughly 1,100 billionaires (and 1 trillionaire) are collectively worth a record $9.24 trillion. The wealth of the bottom half of the US, roughly 65 million households? $4.3 trillion. It's not radical to tax the rich. It's radical to allow this level of wealth concentration to continue.

It's a bit bizarre watching the world turn it's attention to SpaceX, when even a year ago, it still felt like something of a niche company to most. I also didn't have the company IPO-ing this way on my bingo card, but if there's anything I've learned from covering SpaceX, it's that you must adapt.
