The high water mark of culture was the Discovery Boom De Yada promo. It's all been downhill for the past 15 years from this.

Honestly the Garth Hudson entrance here is probably the single greatest moment in any rock concert film. Especially because it’s reserved for Garth Hudson, supremely unassuming genius.

This is an important point. Working in the economic development space, for most businesses and organizations I interact with the implications of this have not been adequately contemplated.
Canada’s regulatory dependence on the US is going to cause us huge problems. Republicans have promised to gut the administrative state. We won’t be able to trust their regs. Worse, they will seek regulatory harmony with Canada. Business will likely support them, claiming an unfair regulatory burden.

In the last analysis it seems likely that they were wiser than I, all those friends in Vienna, because they suffered everything only when it really happened, whereas I had already suffered the disaster in advance in my fantasy, and then again when it became reality.
