An old fogey question with regards to all these dire warnings about "BigAI". Am I the only only person who reads "BigAI" and what comes immediately to mind is a mildly inebriated and very confused sportscaster? Should I just call a cab for a ride to The Shady Rest Home? #BigAI #BigAl

Good crowd on the Dartmouth ferry, including acouple of geese - headed over to the "Culture is Critical" protest at Province House today. The fact that we are on the Viola Desmond seems appropriate.

It appears that Andy Fillmore, our new HRM mayor, has just realized that he is not up to the job. His response? He is asking the Premier to change the job description to give him even MORE power. There is in fact another, more obvious solution, Andy... #Halifax #HRM

Wow. I have rarely seen such an inordinately incompetent and incapable politician as Halifax's Mayor, Andy Fillmore. In retrospect, full marks to Justin Trudeau for never letting this joker anywhere near a Federal Cabinet post: Fillmore's lack of political smarts is off the charts #HRM

Its fish or cut bait time. IMHO, big majority governments are NEVER good for ordinary Cndns. They get us reduced accountability, cutbacks + cronyism. So, I will be voting for Keith Morrison in Dartmouth – Cole Harbour. A strong NDP voice to ensure that a Lib Govt DELIVERS for working Cndns. #cdnpoli

Lest we forget, for several years ahead of the 2024 election, US voters consistently rated Trump stronger than Dems on "Managing the American economy". It is what it is. #uspoli #tariffs www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/o...

This is EXACTLY the sort of issue that highlights the difference between worker-focused New Democrats and corporate-focused Liberals. Libs are just not there for ordinary Cndns if the NDP is not there, holding their feet to the fire. www.cbc.ca/news/busines... #cdnpoli #ndp

Easily the best book out of the Canadian Maritimes that I have read in the last couple of years. The story of a resilient Mi'kmaw family devastated by loss and tragedy, yet able to live, laugh and love. "The Berry Pickers", by Amanda Peters (from the Annapolis Valley). Two BIG thumbs up. #booksky

It appears to me that someone needs to read up on the Diefenbaker - Pearson years and their different responses to US militarism + expansionism. Never mind the relationship between Canada + the US in the 19th century under different parties / PMs / govts. Canada's political history is complicated.

Spent much of January in the company of Flannery O'Connor. As southern belles go, "Sheesh!" I now understand E Waugh's skepticism that such stories could be written by a "young lady". Maybe the notion of Southern Gothic was not widely appreciated at the time. Anyhow, two thumbs up from me. #booksky
