Melville: I hope you enjoyed that bloody action-packed chapter! But now, a moment to consider obscure technicalities about where everyone sits in the boat, how the boat is constructed, and my personal critique of current assigned seating practices.

My new article on Canada's recent AI strategy consultation. Lightning-fast engagement, dubious data protection measures, black box analysis, & AI-generated summaries from made-in-USA LLMs are not a winning strategy for building public trust

Canada’s new AI strategy is off to a bad start | BetaKit
Canadians already have low trust in AI. Exclusionary and unclear public engagement methods aren’t helping.

This is such a bad move for Trump. Blocks the opening to *Gordie Howe* Bridge? This is a boon for Carney’s patriotic fervour. It’s like out of the Beaverton.
Trump threatens to block opening of new bridge between Windsor and Detroit — CTV News
U.S. President Donald Trump says Canada and the U.S. will “immediately” start negotiations over the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which connects Windsor, Ont., and Detroit, Mich.

This is fucking wild and is a real indicator of how the Smith regime is growing permission for nationalist sensibilities in Alberta. But this is also happening at the federal level. In Carney's Canada, all things can be sacrifice to the so-called national good, a transcendent and privileged "we."
New emails obtained by CBC through access of information show that before announcing the end of EDI at the University of Alberta, the president sent his announcement to the UCP before publication.

Pretty sure Winnipeg Transit is paying more for the salaries of the racists checking for fares before you can board than they were "losing" by letting impoverished people on without paying. But of course the cruelty is always the point.

Trump complaining about not understanding Bad Bunny led me to look up the history of presidential multilingualism. Unsurprisingly the presidency has grown far less multilingual over time. More surprisingly, seven presidents were fluent in Ancient Greek but NONE have spoken fluent Spanish.

Trump-linked officials are quietly backing a right-wing push to make oil-rich Alberta secede from Canada, holding repeated meetings with separatist leaders who see independence as a way to expand fossil fuel extraction.

I'm going to say that this was always the case, though. This is always what DHS was.
IDK who needs to hear this (Ok, I do, but I'm being diplomatic) but you cannot simply report what DHS says as fact in 2026 without looking into it

These “threats” include Trump, but Carney also wants you to believe it’s all the immigrants causing your housing and food prices to go up, taking all the jobs.
He’s militarizing Canadian society and government per foreign threats he can’t even name.
This is what authoritarians do.

(Any time I mention Carney, I get a rush of new blocks. I mean whatever, but I think it's wild that we are at a point where any criticism of the prime minister is no longer considered socially tolerable. There's a word for that too.)

Canada is sliding further into authoritarianism & nationalism each month. This is fostered by Liberal & Conservative politicians cultivating the idea of foreign threats to create a scenario where they have permission to do whatever they want.
