This squad certainly isn't as fun as the Expos, or the 92-93 Jays. They are fun however. I'm late to this bandwagon, but I really want them to win. They can even visit Rideau Hall for the LOLs #worldseries

In this turbulent world glad to see some good news. The Canada Games are returning to New Brunswick! Kudos to all involved in organizing the SJ-Moncton bid. Now to bring back Fiddle Edd!

If PM Carney placed a Canada Flag on John Turner’s grave as a campaign stop he would win 250 seats because of elbows up etc etc

This is a lot more nuanced and less schtick-y than the first take. Still, Mike Myers comes across as quite earnest - who would have thunk that celeb endorsements (a very unCanadian thing, I might add) would have some traction?

I'm always late to every party, but just started watching the Bear and learned the chap who plays Fak was born in Saint John. It's a somewhat think link (kind of like Donald Sutherland RIP) but it's always fun to know when the cool kids are linked to your city

Happy #StPatricksDay Saint John! I used to post this historic photo of a leprachaun chilling by Partridge Island over on that other site, but the little guy seems much happier here (Photo from GNB archives)

Kurt Peacock @kurtpeacock.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

I know this is satire but to be honest I think Canada would be better off if this historic brand was given to Indigenous Nations instead of liquidated entirely

Kurt Peacock @kurtpeacock.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

It also makes a compelling case for investing in built heritage, which is something that most governments in Canada (fed/prov/municipal) don't do nearly enough.

Is there an Ig Nobel for Peace? If so, does POTUS "efforts" in support of Ukraine peace count?

Kurt Peacock @kurtpeacock.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

I'm sure others have asked (and I don't really care, given how I'm trying to limit my exposure to US politics) but why exactly does Newsom have a podcast? I know he has ambitions and an ineptitude in choosing podcast guests, but more pressingly doesn't he have a major state to govern?

Kurt Peacock @kurtpeacock.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

Also, Dems should push back hard against the WHOLE ANNEXING CANADA shenanigans. Make every northern US R own the idea that their President wants to upend 70+ years of military co-operation and almost 40 yrs of free trade with a northern neighbour and they're somehow fine riding the crazy train

A very tasty shrove Tuesday supper at #stonechurch . Come get your pancakes!

I know public pension funds are supposed to be immune from political pressures etc etc but the largest holdings of Vestcor (which runs NB pensions) include Meta, Amazon of course Tesla. All of their key shareholders attended the inaugural of a president that has launched economic war against Canada

It's small potatoes in terms of economic impact, but I hope part of GNB's economic action plan in response to the tariffs is a subsidized year-round ferry to Campobello. That island was once home to the best example of US leadership (in FDR), and its Cdn residents shouldn't be left behind

Kurt Peacock @kurtpeacock.bsky.social · 28/02/2025

Now that tariffs are in effect and NB is now thrust in the middle of a trade war, a reminder that GNB pensions have invested millions in Elon Musk’s largest company

FDR, 1943: "We have faith that future generations will know here...there came a time when men of good will found a way to unite, and produce, and fight to destroy the forces of ignorance, and intolerance, and slavery, and war." Trump, 2024: "It came out of Hunter Biden's bathroom"

Since everyone is #boycotttesla and all the rest because Musk is horrible + doesn't think we're a real country, I just had to follow up on a hunch. Sure enough, Vestcor, which manages numerous NB pensions, has some 53K shares of Tesla, according to a 2024 Nasdaq filing www.nasdaq.com/fr/market-ac...

Was it the greatest sports movie ever made? Maybe, maybe not. But Gene Hackman certainly made Hoosiers one of the most memorable.

If I were a #Tesla shareholder (which I'm not any more, sold my shares a few years ago) I'd kindly ask their CEO to explain in a quick email all the things he did last week in support of the company. What's good for the goose etc etc

One of my fave UNB profs, the late Wally Brown, specialized in Loyalist history. He called the Loyalists the 'Good Americans'. A lot of those Good Americans helped to make the Maritimes the wonderful place it is today

Because I'm late to every party ever, I'm usually way behind on my cultural touchstones. Finally finishing the Atlanta TV series, and the season two episode that fanboys on Drake is really quite funny in ways that likely weren't thought of way back when it was first filmed.

Remember that interesting mural by Deanna Musgrave located on the Market Sq pedway? cbc.ca/amp/1.4093343 It seems to be removed now unfortunately

Even if the teams are likely paid in Tim’s cards, the Grey Cup really is more fun than this. They should unironically invite Drake to perform even.

I've mostly ignored the second season of the Trump Show, but this excellent bit from one of the smarter writers at the Times highlights how things aren't exactly as bad as we think www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/o...

Look closely at the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s second term and you’ll see something very different than what he wants you to see.

Saw that the NBM boutique was shuttered inside Brunswick Square. Is the reason a/ continued struggles by the mall's REIT ownership to make a go of it OR b/ NB Museum's decision to put retail on the backburner until they open the new site? Maybe both? Or something else entirely?

Got a leg of lamb from No Frills over the holidays, and finally got around to cooking it. 375 for hours, potatoes, onion, carrots, random spices from my pantry. And somehow the end result has folks saying I'm Anthony Bourdain (I'm not, obviously). Still, lamb stew rocks.
