PM Carney makes it sound like we can insulate ourselves from Silicon Valley tycoons who genuflect to Trump and serve his authoritarian aims.
But how realistic is that as #BigTech hungers for our country?

Writing my memoir, I remembered that my birth mom said my birthday was a different day. That always seemed unlikely, but it also seems unlikely to forget, when you were there. So I finally worked up the nerve to request my adoption records and original birth certificate. What a scary thing to do
