Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #380,720! Woo hoo! This is actually kind of neat. It's been a while since I was an early adopter of anything.

"Canadians are tired — of fighting, of being told to pick sides. That fatigue is dangerous because it leads to disengagement. The next conversation has to be about rebuilding our collective stamina for decency, even when it’s hard."

My wife and I are about to renew our car insurance here in BC, with all the discounts based on our good driving records. I'm not sure yet but I think it will be less than last year.
WOW, just wow, look at those rate increases in Alberta!
More Alberta Advantage!

🚨 HEADS UP
Washington State has reported a suspected human H5N1 case with no cattle exposure likely bird-linked (or from contaminated milk).
The patient is severely ill in hospital.
Clade pending (D1 vs B3). CDC confirmation awaited.
If confirmed, it will be Washington’s first H5N1 case of 2025.

Once again, Canadian Cons wanting so bad to be like the American thugs. Chilling good journalism is just another one of their stunts. Give Luke and Press Progress a bit of help in fighting this frivolous suit. I did.
Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

All these Liberals cooing and drooling over Cons crossing the floor. And with each MP changing colours the Libs move one more seat to the right, losing their Liberal-ness. Carney is Mulroney 2.0

Finally watched Zohran Mamdani's victory speech and I almost fuckin cried. I got real goosebumps. This is what we need.
Stop listening to the loudest and most out-of-touch pundits screaming about moving to the centre. Be bold and unrelenting in caring about each other.

Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack in Israel “plunged the region into a devastating war.”
That’s how an Associated Press article opens – one that some of Canada’s largest news outlets published today.
But Oct. 7 wasn’t the day this started.
