Skirri is a blue squirrel in a superhero costume. Currently, he's disguised as Frida Khalo.
A friend who works for a Canadian federal gov't department said they may have an opening for an editor in the spring.
I said, "I thought you'd started using AI for editing."
"That's why we need an editor."

They TOLD US to apply for CERB even if we weren't certain we qualified, that it would all come out in the wash at tax time.

Who's in charge over there?

Exactly this. A national postal service is a matter of sovereignty not a tool of capitalism.
For reference, see the demise of Greyhound/Voyageur. Small & remote communities are stranded.
Without a postal service, they'd be less connected.
Increase & improve services, instead. Internet, banking, etc.

In Gr 6 (1973), Mr Hawkins told us about the massive amount of petroleum in the Tar Sands of AB but that it would never be exploited because the cost of removing the bitumen would remain too great.
