As an unfortunate victim of the moment of shock that led me to vote Liberal, which I've deeply regretted ever since, Carney fucking sucks.

One of Canada’s foremost public intellectuals has concluded that Carney is using the Trump effect as political cover to pursue the deregulatory agenda he’s long wanted. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/12/01/a...
Did the climate world misread Carney?
Many in the climate movement saw a fellow traveller in Mark Carney — the man who could preach climate action in the language of finance — but what if they were wrong from the very start?

They're pretty cool, focusing on the climate and the environment when I feel that keeps getting glossed over too much by a lot of places.
Also why wouldn't you want news written by narwhals?

Given that’s there’s a non-zero chance the pipeline never happens but Carney gets blamed for supporting it and failing to get it done, I’m going to call this one a questionable move!

Can one man count as a whole event? If so, its Koric for both Aldon and Sylpha
If not, it would be when she got arrested for Sylpha, and agreeing to be Korics student instead of being hanged for piracy.
Ironically enough, it was meeting Sylpha that counts as the event for Aldon.

Aldon will always have a sunflower detail on the collar of his clothing.
Its his mothers favourite that he shared a love for and she died when he was 14. Its his way of keeping her memory close.
The same goes for incorporating braided horsehair into his appearance in some way

Man, the antisemitism just really loves social media comment sections, doesn't it.
I know its not new to mention that, but its how explicitly unsubtle it is recently that seems to be 2016 levels again.
Worse, actually.

So if its raining here at essentially a midpoint in November, does that mean I should anticipate a third year in a row of sweeping snowmelt off an icy path from the house to the barn?
Because we should have at least a foot of snow on the ground right now, and more coming in the forecast.
