Wait, YYZ too?? This better not mess up my work trip in December.
Looks like American air travel is already fucked and getting more so, in the wake of Duffy’s 10% reduction announcement. Hold onto your butts.

Finally...

This should have been settled months ago.
UPDATE: The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says it will move forward with “complete depopulation” of hundreds of ostriches at a British Columbia farm after the owners lost a bid to have their case heard by the Supreme Court of Canada.

I'm wondering what's going on with the job market here in Canada.

I posted a standard "Security Analyst" role, not entry level but also more GRC focused. Seeing substantial amount of applicants with "Sr. Security Engineer" and "Sr. Security Analyst" in current employment with decent orgs?

This day keeps getting better.

What's the over/under another crosses the floor before the week is out.
Dimitri Soudas, former Harper comms guy, told RadCan this morning that he's hearing Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux will cross the floor to the Liberals today.

If this happens, the Liberals are one seat short of a majority. You know what that means.

That's right.

Elizabeth May is Kingmaker.

With the news from yesterday seems like a happy November 5th is in order.

Looks like it's Azure that is having some problems today.

Guess I really didn't need to do all that work today after all.

I really can't stress enough to everyone I talk to how authoritative this is.

I really hope Alberta labour can come together and make things extremely uncomfortable for the UCP government.

This ongoing abuse of the NWC to strip individuals rights needs to be cut quick. #cdnpoli
An important note…

Smith isn’t just overriding the federal Charter…

She’s also overriding the Alberta Human Rights Act AND the Alberta Bill of Rights she just rewrote.

My dreams are more continuous and cohesive than this.
Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.

So Rustad has been asked to resign by members of the management committee.

The political circus continues.

@rob-for-ndp-leader.bsky.social I know you're being pragmatic with the NP, but the costal tanker ban has a legitimate need for existence. I'm not sure we can adequately reduce the risk to and make it acceptable.

I'm getting a kick out of the Conservatives trying to back peddle on Poilievre's new ACAB position.

I have to say as a Canadian, Oregon outside of Portland is something else.

My dad spent some time working in Durkee in the late 90s and the tales I heard.
Fun legal fact of the day: Florence, OR, where federal agents famously (and illegally) used a thermal imager to detect Danny Kyllo's grow operation in 1992, is the the same oceanfront community that, in 1970, famously (and disastrously) tried to dispose of a beached whale carcass using dynamite.

I see the daily mail is continuing to live up to its journalistic integrity standards.
The Cowichan Tribes debate is quickly becoming an international culture war issue, which means any attempt by someone to try and clarify facts, timelines or arguments by the people materially involved in the actual discussion will not matter in slightest.

But literally none of this is correct.

Still probably too much power allocated for AI compared to DCs.

But that second point is exactly what I was hoping for.
BC is also making its ban on power for crypto mining permanent and restricting access for AI and data centres

Projects can apply for a limited amount of power every 2 years, starting in Jan 2026

300 megawatts for AI centres, 100MW for data centres

Some good leadership from the BC NDP. We don’t need to be providing power to AI that don’t help create jobs here.
Energy Minister Adrian Dix introduces Bill 31, Energy Statutes Amendment Act

The plan is to create an electricity allocation framework to prioritize power for natural resource projects like LNG and mines. It will also set rules for AI and data centres seeking to connect to BC's grid

Totally unsurprising. Are her and Sturko joining forces, maybe along with Warbus?

NEW - Penticton-Summerland MLA Amelia Boultbee has quit the BC Conservative caucus. Boultbee says John Rustad is running the party into the ground and needs to resign. #bcpoli

Watching CBC talking to Tyler Meredith, he mentions hiring those specialized officers. The issue is we do not have that capability in Canada. The RCMP only hires front line officers, who spend 6 months at Depot and then go work GD in a community.

Minister of Finance announced a new financial crimes agency today. My hot take on this is, it's a false start. As he says "the world has changed", but so have these crimes. They're no longer just financial, they're heavily related to cyber crime.

@rob-for-ndp-leader.bsky.social still needs the party members to vote for him first. If you're Canadian and want to make a difference in this country go become a member.
