It's weird that the Globe has used a different font than its regular one for the headlines in its Report on Business cover story, making it look like it's "partner content" even though it's not.

It's hilarious that now the stock market likes partial nationalization.
That's because the stocks tend to see massive gains following word that the US is taking a stake.
What Will Trump Buy Next? Hunt Is On for White House Stock Picks
Adam Giddens used to mainly rely on screening services and social-media buzz when looking for stocks to buy. Lately, though, he’s turned his attention to a different kind of influencer: Donald Trump.

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.

Oh, tricky, for once it was the obscure word but I started with more common ones. Although it looked like a good start I knew there'd be too many options. (Thursday November 6)

We really need a constitutional amendment to limit presidential pardon power even if it is only possible to pass it after Trump’s term. The founders obviously never envisioned any president using it this brazenly and corruptly while remaining impervious to impeachment.

Still really bothered by this. I love the way Queen's Park was redone recently, with a bit of low key elegant European park style combined with Canadian tree park. We don't need a lot of parks like that but it's good to have one.

Let's remember that it was a previous extremely wealthy Lieutenant Governor, Hal Jackman, who brought King Eddie on a horse to Queen's Park. So getting rid of it is like the Westons messing with a rival oligarch.

A couple weeks ago a friend was telling me about someone she knew who had been on maternity leave, and said she had taken "the full year." I said, "A whole year? Wow, what kind of fancy job does she have that gives her a YEAR of leave?" and my friend looked surprised & said, "... welcome to Canada?"
