It has been over 11 years since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released its 93 calls to action. Since then, 14 of them have been completed. That is just 15%. In over a decade. www.indigenouswatchdog.org/2026/09/01/t...

In 1969, a Golden Skillet franchise opened in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. That quickly became the first Mary Brown's, a restaurant that has spread across Canada and remains 100% Canadian-owned to this day. This is the history of Mary Brown's (with a cameo from Berton) youtu.be/OCxpiugwlss

Since the collective noun for a group of crows is a murder, would it be right to call this group of crows looking for grubs a murder investigation? At UBC, Vancouver, BC, Canada #Birds #Crows #Humor #NaturePhotography

Photo of about forty crows searching for grubs in a series of grassy areas bisected by a path, a driveway, a separated two lane boulevard, all of which cross the picture horizontally. At the right of the picture is a trimmed cedar hedge. In the background are more hedges, some low fences, and leafy trees. At the left of the picture are number of posts with signs for parking restrictions, indicating a bicycle path, and a pair of stop signs.

A really interesting piece on building a sovereign AI stack for DND and the CAF - hopefully a big win for Cohere, Anvil, Tactiql and other Canadian players in that space. Very important to provide an alternative to Palantir, Anduril et al. and help the CAF modernize targeting and digital systems.

It’s sort of grimly fascinating how two rights – compensating all residential school survivors through a class action, and preventing nonconsensual disclosure of testimony – still add up to a wrong – potentially erasing irreplaceable documentation of what the TRC rightly called a genocide.
