Full house at Wasted Day Brewing for the International Fly Fishing Film Festival - the first showing in #SaintJohn! Congrats Arliss and @rossgalbraith.bsky.social for a successful event! #FlyFishing #FlyTying #IF4

Close to 70 people in a room with stone walls and pillars painted with green hops. A man on a stage introducing films on a screen behind him.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

We should buy the products of Canadian companies not because economic nationalism is a good idea — the whole point of our outrage at the tariffs is that it isn’t — but because specific local companies, our neighbours, are getting hurt badly by this and need a lot of support now

Trudeau: "Now I want to speak directly to one specific American. Donald...it's not in my habit to agree with the WSJ, but Donald, they point out that even though you're a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do. We friends fighting is exactly what our opponents around the world want to see."

Over my mostly private-sector career, I’ve heard the suggestion that government is incompetent and the private sector is efficient and effective. Many times I’ve seen the opposite, with the private sector often shockingly incompetent but largely un-scrutinized like the public sector is. Until now.

By donating their current U.S. inventory (which no one wants right now) to a Food Bank, Canadian grocery stores can compensate for the loss with a tax deduction and by a smart advertising campaign, then replace with a Canadian or non-American good. Win win.

In 2011, we lost 99% of the hibernating bat population, but recently, bats have shown signs of recovery from the disease that wiped them out (White-nose syndrome), which makes researchers hopeful. (See below) Turn out your lights, or put a motion detector, to help bats as their population recovers.

Gas lines may have complicated firefighting efforts in Los Angeles by fueling open flames - revealing a looming “natural gas” crisis. The solution? All-electric buildings.

Background photo of the sparks rising from a fire. Image of a gas meter in top right corner. Text reads “The LA Wildfires Revealed a "Natural Gas" Crisis Looming on the Horizon” “Gas lines may have complicated firefighting efforts in Los Angeles by fueling open flames. That's just'one danger of so-called "natural gas" - and one of the many reasons for buildings to go electric.” Arrow icon in bottom right corner.

Cream-colored background. Text reads “As Los Angeles rebuilds, it is highly likely that the majority of new structures will ditch gas hookups and go electric. This vital transition to all-electric buildings is underway across the U.S., marking the beginning of the end for the gas network.” Image of a gas meter connected to a brick building. Arrow icon in bottom right corner.

Black background. Text reads “From costs to safety, as we transition to an all-electric future, gas will become more and more unsustainable. The solution? Pruning back the gas pipeline network so entire branches of the system can be shut off, paving the way for safer and cleaner all-electric neighborhoods.” Arrow icon in bottom right corner.

Background image of a gas meter with a yellow filter. Text reads “By shutting down their local gas networks for good, burned and high-fire-risk communities in Los Angeles can make the electric grid safer and more resilient by eliminating two major sources of fire danger: overhead power lines and gas hookups.”

National missile defense advocates live in a world of magic and make-believe. Fantasy replaces science, assertions replace facts, and cartoon weapons replace real capabilities. My new analysis in @thebulletin.org thebulletin.org/2025/02/the-...

The national missile defense fantasy—again

The only way to eliminate the threat of nuclear-armed missiles is to negotiate their elimination—not pretend some magic shield can protect against them.
