Perfect example of every vote matters. The Quebec riding of Terrebonne flips to the Liberals after official judicial recount where the riding was won by just 1 vote. That's right, 1 vote, it indeed made a difference.

For anyone looking to #BuyCanadian in response to the US administration attacking us, if you're looking for a nice set of pot & pans, consider looking at Meyer's Confederation, SuperSteel & ProClad line. They're made in #PEI & they're the last manufacturer that makes cookware in #Canada.

Last Wednesday evening Kris Nova had a climbing accident and died.
All of us that loved her are heart broken and stunned. She was an amazing person that lived out loud and built connection and community wherever she went. She will be horribly missed.

Elon Musk's creator monetization program fails to convince many to pay for X Premium
X / Twitter is going all in on creator monetization. But it seems not too many have signed up to be eligibile.

Oh man, it's been 20 years since that major Blackout in North America? Who remembers when this happened?

Today in 2003, a massive power outage hit Ontario & parts of the Northeastern & Midwestern United States. The power remained out for hours for some, days for others. About 55 million people lost power. The outage was caused by a software bug in a control room alarm system in Ohio.

In 1991, Linus Torvalds was studying UNIX at university, where he was using a special educational, experimental purpose operating system called Minix. However, Minix had its limitations, and Linus felt he could create something better.
