spend a lot of time thinking about @stephenkb.bsky.social's point that "reading comprehension", as a skill, is apparently something that a lot of people have just given up on online - eg it's hard to believe here that so many people can't see this is so obviously tongue in cheek, but alas,

With 868 measles cases so far this year, Alberta has now exceeded its previous high mark set in 1986. 2025 now has the most cases since 1979. So I've had to expand this chart to include years prior to the modern-vaccine-program era:

The divide between the NDP's historic strength west of Ontario and their performance as a federal party in the same regions has always been something really dislike digging into. And so the cycle continues.

No, this isn’t meant on threat of separation which is as stupid idea as they come. Don’t lump me in with those lunatics (including those in power). I’m talking about a pattern that’s obvious for anyone to see if folks are serious about winning. 4/4 🧵

For the NDP, westerners know how to win elections as the NDP in BC, AB, SK (surging if not winning yet), and MB. They experience setbacks to be sure, but nothing like the disaster of the current federal party. 3/4 🧵

For the Liberals, it was missing the signs of the growing seething hatred of Justin Trudeau. I saw folks question if things were really that bad. Anyone from out west could have confirmed that yes, yes it was, and it wasn’t bad polling or media bias. 🧵 2/4

Possibly unpopular (and biased) take: One thing left and progressive parties can do to get better electoral results in Canada is listen more to and include more voices from the western provinces. Without that you miss out on important insights that seem obvious in hindsight. 1/4 🧵

/… the six digit code MFA isn’t the gold standard anymore and we’re moving people to MFA approval push notifications or passcodes. The good thing is these at least are simpler (fewer steps ) than the 6 digit code MFA. Simpler always better in security.

There seems to be a grace period (maybe the equivalent 30 seconds) for which you can still type in the code after it changes. If you don’t remember all 6 digits then you’re starting over that’s true. We’ve had a few unfortunate clients hit with man-in-the-middle attacks so… /2

In a move I find quite surprising, studios like Warner Bros are getting a revenue share of fan-made AI trailers of movies like Superman instead of issuing DMCA takedown notices. It’s fan-friendly, sure, but also risky, since fake trailers can easily mislead the public into thinking they’re real.

It’s early and the parties don’t have platforms out yet but is there any announced (i.e. with citation) significant economic policy difference between LPC and CPC? Not just of degree as with the tax cuts but opposite directions? Industrial carbon tax backstop is one. What else?

Spoiler for an upcoming piece. How the population grows matters for demographic-based housing demand. For example, 1000 net new non-permanent residents require fewer homes than from other migration-forms of population growth, as they skew younger.

We’ve got a competitive race. It’s the first election for both leaders of the front running parties. And the electorate is energized by important issues. Canadian elections are volatile so who knows what train wreck we’ll get. But on day 1, these are about optimal conditions.

Price comparisons of surgeries done at private facilities vs AHS costs, courtesy of the new documents obtained by the Globe and Mail. Given what has been going on within the public health care system, especially the ongoing closures in rural Alberta, this data is horrifying.

Like its antithesis on the left, the “woke right” places identity grievance, ethnic consciousness, and tribal striving at the center of its behavior and thought. It eschews principle for expediency and brute force, seeking not to convince but to punish its perceived enemies 1/
