Interesting. Actual follow up on 'the speech' is nice to see.
EXCLUSIVE: Canadian PM Mark Carney is spearheading discussions between the EU and a major Indo-Pacific trade bloc after calling on middle powers to join forces.
The aim is to short-circuit Donald Trump’s tariffs.

I had the opportunity to rise during Senate Question Period this week, to ask about the Canadian government's continued commitment to using X for official communications - and about their failure to use sites such as Bluesky and Mastodon. What do you think? #cdnpoli #Canada #Grok #X #Bluesky

* And the question about the current delay and extra year of process, why did planners zone the site for this school so narrowly so that small changes, one extra floor and slightly larger footprint, require a rezoning?
Why do we micro-manage and try to control every aspect of city life?

Holy moly: Seattle’s millionaire tax, passed last year, is expected to bring in $115 million in its 1st year, way more than the $50 million anticipated.
The funds will go to the city’s new social housing developer publicola.com/2026/02/11/t...

Seattle’s millionaire tax is a huge success. Here is how grassroots groups beat big money and are now raising tons of money for mixed income, rent stabilized housing. (We call it “social housing.”)

Time for the government to call in Pete Hoekstra to register official complaints. He has a long and ugly history of foreign interference.
