Canada and Denmark share a 1.2 km long land border on Hans Island since we ended the Whisky War in 2022.
So technically we could join the European Union.

What could Canada’s response to the Great Recession, the COVID-19 pandemic and the inflation shock of the 1970s teach us about how to, or how not to, respond to the threat of U.S. tariffs? Read the latest column by @kevincarmichael.bsky.social for @thelogic.co

As a jaded social media early adopter, I’ve been wary, leery and weary (yes, all three) when it comes to starting up yet another profile. But it’s not too bad here so far.

I remember those days, and pushing for those chyrons
As X collapses, it’s interesting to think back and recall how big a role mainstream cable news played in promoting and legitimizing Twitter as a platform 10-15 years ago

Shows promoted Twitter in their chyrons and encouraged viewers to ”join the conversation,“ ”connect,“ react in real-time, etc
