Lawyer, musician, photographer, creator, wanderer. I follow threads of strangeness and marvel at contradictions. Sometimes there’s clarity, sometimes confusion, sometimes I just fall into the beauty of life. . .

Um. . . There’s a lot to criticize about the AI bandwagon.
But songwriters haven't been relevant in decades.
Market-driven art, after all, is slick but soulless. AI just holds a mirror to that.

I feel like it's worth restating some basics. What matters most as we navigate this moment? How about truth, nuance, humility, compassion, resilience, and care (for starters)? Who in politics reflects these?

Anyone else getting the feeling that foundations are cracking? This is not at all a normal political cycle and Canada's upcoming elections are about much more than wanting a 'team' to win. This, if ever, is the time to be strategic. . . My fingers are crossed.

I think many people risk misreading this political moment. It’s not about parties or name-calling. It’s actually about education—about complexity vs. simplicity, awareness vs. fear. And reactionary fear only leads to one place, and it's pretty dark. Just saying.

Cybertruck: because nothing says "cutting edge" like a shoddy $100K stainless steel brick that can actually cut your finger off. I don’t like seeing anyone get scammed. But I’ll admit, it’s satisfying to see the truth about this junk finally break through the hype fog.

In Iqaluit, I met with Nunavut Tunngavik and Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami to discuss our work ahead, including building more homes, energy projects, and infrastructure faster in the North.
We can and will grow a stronger economy across the North — and we’ll do it in partnership with Indigenous Peoples.

90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.
