It's that time of the year when I start wearing a poppy to honour and remember all the 🇨🇦 Canadian anti-fascist fighters.

I love this - Canadians have always known where we come from and what made us but we rarely say it so loudly and proudly.

Built in a place where we know we’re accepted just the way we are and the sky is the limit to our dreams, it’s no wonder that Canada has so many heroes.

A few weeks after the sinking, Gordon Lightfoot read Newsweek's Nov. 24, 1975 article about the sinking. He saw the ship's name was misspelled and believed this dishonored those lost.
So he wrote The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Listening to a podcast. Heard again that this is the largest federal deficit ever run outside of the pandemic.

Still nope.

bsky.app/profile/aaro...
I saw some commentary that this was the largest non-Covid-era deficit in federal history and it's probably worth dealing with that now.

I presume it's based on dollar value at the time the deficit was incurred, but that doesn't account for inflation or the changing size of the economy.
