Take it from a conservative, conservatives have gone off the deep end. I hope that rationalism returns eventually.

Air ambulance pilot constantly questioning if going to work for an airline is worth leaving the fun stuff in small aircraft behind.
I take #Uber often, especially when I’m on work trip. I always tip; I shouldn’t have to. I don’t want to.

Many might not remember but once upon a time Uber boasted the complete lack of a tip option because their drivers were well compensated. It was a DEFINING feature of the ride-share disruptor.

Donald Trump is fighting Adam Smith and Smith never loses. I’d really like pro Trump “conservatives” to explain to this conservative what, if anything, Trump is doing that’s described in Wealth Of Nations, once considered a seminal conservative text.

“Once” being like…until a few months ago.

Prime minister @mark-carney.bsky.social first press conference basically boiled down to Axe the Tax, Build the Homes, Get the Deal and Fix the Budget.

Except…not in lame sloganeering kinda way.

To demonstrate ethical integrity and sound judgement I strongly suggest you fire Paul Chiang and boot him from the Liberal Party. Encouraging threats and foreign interference in our elections process is simply not excusable.

#Yukon premier Ranj Pillai says that negotiation is always an option with President #Trump. I don’t know where that thinking comes from. Nothing he’s promised has been honoured. How do you negotiate with someone who’s word means nothing?

Any agreements made are completely unreliable in such a case.

It’s wild to me that not only are democrats treated better by Canadians and Mexicans than republicans but that Americans in general are just treated better by Canadians and Mexicans than republicans.

“America First” unless you disagree I guess. Then…🤷🏻
Kind of ironic that Mexican & Canadian firefighters are in California fighting the wild fires, while Republican members of Congress are in Florida doing jack-shit.

After our aircraft went mechanical, we ended up spending Christmas Eve and day in Clyde River NU. An Arctic community with an abundance of natural beauty.

Local folks were so supportive of this stranded air ambulance crew and their hospitality will be gratefully remembered by us for a long time.

Saskatoon’s Canadian Light Source particle accelerator is an incredible research facility right in my back yard. This is one of the beam lines where researchers collect all kinds of data for varied projects.

One of the coolest projects, figuring out how to convert blood samples from type A+ to 0-

In a very fundamental sense Canadian conservatives are correct that a Carbon Tax adds cost to all produced goods but are they correct in identifying this tax as a major issue? I’m doubtful so I figured I’d do some napkin math to get a rough idea of how much impact we see.

Commuting back home and I noticed the abandoned Downsview airport. This has been an air field, an Air Force base and from 1994 to 2018, was a Boeing test facility before being decommissioned and sold to a developer.

Looks especially romantic to me washed gently in the early morning light.
