Have been wondering where Bill Gates is these days, and saw this promo for his new book from 🇨🇦 bookstore Indigo in my inbox
#booksky are we adding this #memoir to the spring rotation??

Biden had to act pragmatically about the political reality. This is not normal practice in a functioning, rules-based society.

Spending Saturday night with the insights of one of the most powerful woman in American political history.

In the US there are (at least) 7 PR pros for every 1 journalist.

Not great odds for removing influence in news reporting.

In #UnmaskingAI Dr. Joy Buolamwini expertly presents evidence of deliberate -read encoded- discrimination and exclusion in tech.
Watching the tech-enabled world around us devolve to reflect our worst inclinations, this should be essential reading.

Got through the prologue of #AllTheWorstHumans by Phil Elwood before the toddlers interrupted but can say it promises an engaging read

On to my next book of 2025, another memoir because I love a deep dive
Patrick Stewart’s Making It So on #audiobook
Have I mentioned how much I love a #readbytheauthor #Libby loan?

Finished Chrystia Freeland’s #Plutocrats last night. The thing that most strikes me is the resounding case Freeland makes for Mark Carney to take on the leadership of the Liberal party

Nap time means there’s a chance I’ll get to read a few pages uninterrupted. Today’s #bookoftheday is #ThePrince by Stephen Maher, a take on chronicling Justin Trudeau’s time in politics.

#booksky Need a book that will renew your hope that ordinary people motivated by good and justice can accomplish exceptional things for the benefit of all? Read Sharon McMahon’s #TheSmallAndTheMighty

While we celebrate all military victories against Russia in the context of their cruel and inhumane war against Ukraine, do our societies really need or benefit from a public guillotine event? I don’t think so @politico.eu

#booksky #bookoftheday is #war by Bob Woodward

I’m pairing it with gingerbread treats because processing this moment in history and the dangers we are facing requires counterbalancing sugar

Action is the antidote to despair.

A timely reminder for this snowy Sunday ❄️

Reading Woodward’s #War: no doubt that Trump views #foreignpolicy as transactional.
This #Freakonomicsradio #podcast with John Sullivan reveals insights about how abhorred liberal democracies and how underprepared we are for the reality of this world order

Reading Dr. Fauci’s #memoir and it occurs to me that we are living a seismic change that may lead scores of exceptionally bright women and men to turn their backs on #publicservice

PP has a women problem. Will that matter for #elxn45 ?
If you’re a woman in the +8, I especially want to hear your views and concerns.
Thanks to @sarahelder.bsky.social who shared this graph from Abacus, and who created a safe space for women across the political spectrum to exchange

✨Astronaut✨ Emily Calandrelli is such a force!
In our house we love her books, her activism, her relentless pursuit of her passions. An incredible woman and role model. Can’t wait to show my daughter her 🚀
Way to reach for the stars as the 100th woman in space 👩‍🚀

#booksky what are you reading this weekend?
A senior leader I admire recommended #HackYourBureaucracy and I grabbed a copy c/o the public library.
Also picked up Bob Woodward’s ‘War’ but I need a palate cleaner from reality first.
Grateful for access to an expansive catalogue in Ottawa 🫶🏼💳📚

This is what you will signal you support if you vote Conservative in the coming election. Think very carefully about the rights and freedoms you cherish today and who will protect them.
