Prime Minister Carney: You’ve brought some of the world’s wealthiest investors to Toronto. Now make sure workers see the benefit. That means investment in good jobs here at home, strong communities, and a better future for working people.

Privatization wasn’t on the ballot when Canadians voted for Mark Carney. Really foul the way he’s using the blind trust so many continue to have in him to make massive, fundamental changes to Canada (hurting normal Canadians) so big companies can profit. Please pay attention.

Incidentally, did you know that the federal government has approved the sale of Moneris, who own Interac - the backbone of the Canadian retail economy and basis for cheap/free bank transfers - to an American private equity firm? Well, you do now!

There is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.
