My other piece of unsolicited writing advice is to always have two things going at the same time because you can use one to procrastinate on the other until they’re both done.

Sometimes - like today - it's a gift when an article we wrote years ago pops up online and is still relevant: scholars.wlu.ca/cgi/viewcont... Schweizer and a Mystical Ecology in Paul

My employer asks me to complete a survey on AI usage for which this is the first question (required):

1. Are you currently using an AI tool for work-related tasks or projects?

* Yes
* No, but I would like to (PLEASE SKIP TO QUESTION 7)

“Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.” Well. For those of us wondering if he’d walk the walk of the Davos speech, this is a pretty big answer. Nope.

玉險
Office of the Prime Minister
Cabinet du
Premier Ministre
Statement by Prime Minister Carney and
Minister Anand on the situation in the Middle East
"The Canadian government is closely following Iran-related hostilities throughout the Middle East and urges all Canadians in Iran to shelter in place. Canadians in the wider region should follow local advice and take all necessary precautions.
Canada's position remains clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, has one of the world's worst human rights records, and must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons.
Canada and our international partners have consistently called upon the Iranian regime to end its nuclear program, including at the 2025 G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis and with the United Nations' reimposition of sanctions in September.
Despite diplomatic efforts, Iran has neither fully dismantled its nuclear program, halted all enrichment activities, nor ended its support for regional terrorist proxy groups. Canada stands with the Iranian people in their long and courageous struggle against Iran's oppressive regime. Canada has listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity, and has sanctioned 256 Iranian entities and 222 individuals in response to the regime's repression and its violence both against its own people, and persistently, beyond its borders. Canada reaffirms Israel's right to defend itself and to ensure the security of its people.
Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.
The Canadian government urges the protection of all civilians in this conflict. We will take all possible measures to protect our nationals and Canadian diplomatic missions throughout the region."

New from me in @thenarwhal.ca! Moved by his ancestors, Ken Johnston retraced the Underground Railroad to Canada, logging more than 3,500 km on several freedom routes and highlighting incredible stories of success, perseverance and loss among Ontario’s early Black settlers:

The Conservative Party Has a Violence Problem When former Con MP Chris d’Entremont crossed the floor to join the Liberals, he didn’t just change parties — he unleashed a fury that says more about today’s Con movement than about him. Within hours, he was getting death threats. #cdnpoli
