It might not have to be AI, but I want a locally run app I can tell where stuff is in my home… ideally I would let it know when I use/move something and then if I needed to find something I could ask it. Maybe the first time I’ve thought of an app where I’d strongly prefer voice interaction

There were still shipwrecks after ‘68. I visited Saint Pierre in 2015 and took a picture of this one from 1971.
A plaque for tourists in French and English about shipwrecks in Saint Pierre. Text from the plaque:

“Source of pillaging :
On May 18th 1971, because of a thick fog and a failing radar, the Transpacific, a 3865 tons cargo ship coming from Québec and property of the company Poséidon Line, ran aground on the Marie-Rose reef, next to Trehouart cove.
After several unsuccessful attempts to get the cargo off the reef, the captain and his crew abandonned the ship. The looting of the cargo started, an opportunity to a hundred savvy and fearless people.
They loaded in their dories all kinds of goods: hundreds of lawn mowers, juke boxes, engines, food, beverage... and a part of the ship equipment : tableware, furniture, compass, wheel and bell.
Fearing a pollution, the ship was partly burnt and nature took care of what remained, leaving only the bow as a reminder.”The rusted front hull from the Transpacific cargo shipwreck in a shallow section by a rocky coastline and grass covered hill. Taken in July 2015, Île Aux Marins, Saint Pierre Et Miquelon

The "drill, baby, drill" slogan belies the relatively small role of *all* mining, quarrying, O&G extraction activities in the Canadian economy. It's hugely capital intensive (only 1.2% of all jobs) but rip, strip and ship activities contribute just 5.1% to GDP... not even in the top 10 sectors.

I got my 2018 Leaf just before Ford was elected and ended Ontario's EV rebate, paid $35k. I was hoping by now, nearly 8 years later, there would be better options in the same price range. There would be if I was outside North America.

My visiting friend's flight was cancelled and #AirCanada won't even put him on hold, they just say no one is available to take his call. Even though the general advice is not to take a refund, the website still tells him to call in for a refund, which again leads nowhere.
