I stopped covering muncipal campaigns a few years ago and had to start reading up like a regular citizen before I vote.

As I was perusing the CBC promise tracker, I was amused to find this on one of the biggest city challenges. (Yes, the details behind the promises are different, but still.)

You sound like a cheerleader. And a scold! Take responsibilty for what, exactly? For scintilating campaigns that sound like this?

Every once in a while I discover a hole in my news knowledge because I didn't get past the ragey internet discussion.

I once heard a podcast episode where the guest theorized that the addiction to flying private eventually corrupts most prominent Americans. The rarity of this kind of sight reinforces the thesis.

It turns out transportation is the main interprovincial trade barrier.

I mean, the Jets made a modest step a week or two ago, but I confess I still have my doubts. (Courtesy Joe Pascucci on the other site.)

I miss our Big and Boring goalie. #Jets

The aftermath of one of the more epic McDavid undressings.

I mean this might be the worst backcheck I’ve ever ever seen so he might have to create three goals tonight.

Was thinking again about the perennial journalist irritation about crowd size estimates and found it funny that this photo in the CBC story doesn’t actually show 15,000 people because it’s missing half the upper deck and a good chunk of the lower bowl. Probably shows more like 10-12k.

I made my own contribution to this fine oeuvre.

My favourite headline on it was this one. It’s been a major theme of the National Post for most of its history and we discovered we were talking about 15,000 people over one decade.

Garbage collection was this morning. The 7-day dump is already started.

This is fine and all but we’ve got a systemic problem. A few blocks of my walk this morning.

As usual, there are complaints about the scant representation of Quebecers on Team Canada.

The difference this time is nobody can name a player who should be there and isn’t.

Quebec elite hockey is in rough shape.

It’s slowly dawning on me that we’ve all let ourselves be distracted by bike lanes (pro or con) while our elected officials have slowly starved transit. Cc @ericlombardi.bsky.social

RIP to the massive, gorgeous tree we got to watch from upstairs every fall.
