Canada budget: AI is going to do an awful lot apparently. We can cut lots of money, AI will deliver instead!
Public safety? AI will deliver
RCMP? You guessed it, AI will save the day
Fisheries? Yup
ESDC? Also on the AI train
CRA? See above
Gosh I hope this AI thing works out

Yes! This!
+ women are not a special interest group! We are not homogenous! We are half the population!
That seems to be missing from the discourse every single time.

As we await the federal budget, a reminder that social programs, access to basic needs like housing, food, etc. are not "Good to have" - they are essential.
"We'll get to addressing violence, poverty, homophobia, racism, etc. once we deal with the tariffs" is bad economic policy AND absolute BS.

I would recommend all my October reads, but James by Percival Everett was definitely a standout. Heartbreaking. I’m still thinking about it. Highly recommend. #booksky

Huge thank you to the comedians, musicians, artists and writers who are just as mad and bewildered as the rest of us but are still doing their best to make life worth living for everyone.

The family participated in the WFPS 5km today. I love this event so much. The energy is so great. I’m painfully slow, but managed to finish within seconds of my time last year. My goal is not to get any slower, which I think is a solid middle aged goal. 😊

My 13 yo is getting braces this week. Any helpful suggestions other than having painkillers and soft foods on hand? #braces #orthodontics

We had some golden beets in our CSA box. Boiled and diced them for use in salads or as a side dish. They are such a gorgeous shade of yellow. #foodsky

A major consequence of chronically defunding social sciences is that people have no knowledge of what propaganda is, what it looks like and how it works.

July’s reads were all great, but I I think my fave was Atmosphere. I sobbed during the last bit. Margot’s Got Money Troubles was a close second. #booksky

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.
The First Planned Migration of an Entire Country Is Underway
The Pacific island nation of Tuvalu could be submerged in 25 years due to rising sea levels, so a plan is being implemented to relocate its population to Australia.
