Once archaeologist. Delver into the obscure. Paper-records miner. A voter. Interested in exploring how humanitarian, social, and ecosystem values can be linked to economic and market values. I liked the climate better when it was in the low 300s ppm.

Eric Akis: Step aside, turkey: Try salmon with pinot noir cranberry sauce
The tangy, sweet, spiced tastes complement the fish superbly — especially when you add a walnut crust and serve with brown rice pilaf.

I've been sitting in the ER since 7 PM. In 15 minutes this place will lose one of two doctors. There has been an average of 14 people here this entire time and we're all just sitting here like a bunch of idiots hoping our number will be called.

The 1891 Quiz — where would you have been a centrist?
Twenty short statements in the political vocabulary of 1891. Be plotted on both the 1891 and 2026 Overton windows. See the drift personally.

You seem to have left out a lot of information on your loan application. The Bank of Canadian Taxpayers is only interested in loaning money to people who can complete the application in full. Writing “Vibes” and “Trust me Bro!” is insufficient.

The circularity of government largesse and political donorships in projects of "national interest" is a Liberal life-style. Carney's priority of large-scale C-suite corporations over broader-scale, longer term eco-survivability is hypocracy to his book, "Values, building a better world for all."

The only difference between the Liberals and Conservatives now is that the Conservatives are more open about their socially regressive policies. If you are supporting this government you are supporting an extreme right wing economic agenda. #cdnpoli
