Another shot of the storm near Carp, ON. Radar shows what might be hail near Constance Bay, crossing over the river to the Quebec side. #onstorm #onwx

I dunno... recently a friend asked ChatGPT to summarize their approach to software development, so I did the same. As you say, it generated dull, banal, uninspiring "stuff". So I asked it to do it again, except with me being reimagined as an action hero! I rather like what it came up with. 😀

Repost this with the cover of the book you are currently reading.

Anyone else see the resemblance or is it just me? 😀

I hate to be "that guy", but the recommendations from the Finance Committee report do indeed include the removal of charitable status for anti-abortion groups and a review of the definition of "charity".

I believe he's fear-mongering with them, but they do exist.

#NotAllShopifyExecs I worked with Craig in '12-'14, including a fun Hack Days project together.

This is the first time I've heard that Carney was considered for the President role that eventually went to Harley Finkelstein. Note the reasons why he decided to go to Brookfield rather than Shopify.

From the other site, a warning from Elections Canada about mis/disinformation being spread about unguarded boxes full of ballots. Spoiler: they aren't!

Yep... non-union actors! 🙄

Yes, inciting fear & division is straight out of the Finkelstein Method of politics... no actual platform, just grievances!

Yes. It's the Finkelstein Method, first cooked up in 1980 for Ronald Reagan's campaign.

This was shared with me on FB and is a great summary of exactly what we're seeing in the federal election.

For an in-depth article on Finkelstein and his method, I highly recommend this: truestoryaward.org/story/230

Wanna see disinformation at work? Here it is - purported to be from Mark Carney's book Value(s). I have that book in digital format which makes it simple to search for that text. IT DOESN'T EXIST! It's from a (notoriously right-wing) National Post article about the book.

Well, well, well... have a look at this! These are the results from the June 24, 2024 by-election in Toronto-St. Paul's riding. Look at the names of the "independent" candidates - you'll find most of them now running in Carleton. 😡

Not the first time Tomas Szuchewycz's name has been associated with this scheme.
