Hi #booksky. Every year I set a goal of 25 books and I used to post my reviews on X. Time is right to make the switch. This will be my official 2025 book review thread. I tend to read non-fiction, sci-fi and #warhammer40k books.

Canadians stand with Rachel Gilmore. The Conservative government, whose actions and rhetoric have put her in harm’s way, must take responsibility and act immediately to ensure her safety. This injustice cannot be
ignored, and it must be rectified.

Tim Snyder: Today no kings, tomorrow freedom. There is a better America out there. There is a better America underneath. There is a better America that we can see. There is a better America that we can make. History is in our hands.

Kraft is not Canadian. Those ads are… something. It is tough for a Canadian distinguishing between Made in Canada and “Canadian company”. Do you support a US company with a factory in your town? Labatt has been in London Ontario forever so I drink their beer. But there are Belgian and American.

And now a “please visit the USA” ad. Know your audience. That is not efficient marketing spend.

Holy shit. Corporate pivots are efficient. Every ad for the #fournationsfaceoff is “we’re Canadian so buy our stuff”
