Memories. Tough, tough memories. More to come in Gander next week as many of us join the Governor General and Jean Chrétien for a very special programme. 25th anniversary of 9/11.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

If you were asking for honesty and transparency, you are getting it from @mark-carney.bsky.social . Why did they want to restrict our trade? “Power play”, he answers. #cdnpoli

Far from being reticent, @mark-carney.bsky.social seems quite eager to talk about the details. And he should. They wanted to restrict our ability to make trade deals? As the PM said, ‘ unacceptable’.

We are just days away from the 25th commemorative anniversary of 9/11. Canadians welcomed Americans into their homes after horrific acts of terrorism. We were never ‘nasty’; in fact, we were friends and allies to a certain extent. Trump will regret his actions. #cdnpoli

The Voting Rights Act “has not been dealt a ‘blow’” by the Supreme Court, Vann R. Newkirk II argues. “The law is dead, and no matter what happens in the coming elections, politics in America has been forever changed.”
