Go To Away

(Globe and Mail)

A week before U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra is set to give remarks in Gander to mark the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Newfoundland town that became famous for its kindness on that day addressed growing community anger about his attendance.  “We understand why people feel strongly about this,” said a statement from the town released Friday afternoon. “We are proud Canadians, and we understand the frustration and disappointment many Canadians are feeling about the current state of the relationship between Canada and the United States.”
. . .

Plans for his attendance have triggered controversy and emotion in the community and on social media, said Mayor Percy Farwell in an interview with The Globe and Mail prior to the town’s statement.

2026-08-24T12:32:39Z

Now that the dust has settled on the Canada US trade breakdown, it turns to us, Canadians everywhere, to take the next steps. If Prime Minister Carney characterizes this as a war, then we become the soldiers. Our weapons are not rifles and drones but wallets and credit cards. Our strategic objective: as complete a boycott of US products and services as possible.
Fortunately, we’ve been in training now for months. And we’re getting damn good at this. We know the drill. We’ve been meticulously choosing Canadian-made products at our local stores. We pester their owners to provide ever more Canadian choices and clearer labelling. We’ve avoided travel south of the border. We’re finding alternatives for online services. So our tactical objective is to continue on, to double down, to strengthen the resolve.
To arms! To elbows!

I’ve heard them being referred to as pervy specs.
A privacy nightmare. Apparently there have already been cases of the glasses recording credit card transactions in which they can record the card number and the PIN being punched.

Just for fun, what if we juxtaposed a map of current wildfires with the route of Canada’s proposed eastern pipeline from Alberta to Sarnia?

“This is not a computer model. It's not a forecast. It's not a simulation of what might happen decades from now. These are direct observations from satellites, ships and ocean buoys measuring the temperature of the tropical Pacific Ocean.
This is reality unfolding now before our eyes.”

When was the last time you got a hand-written letter from a company not only apologizing but setting things right?
Top-notch customer service is still alive. And the company is Canadian.

A CTV news investigation found 17 cases of baggage tag switching at Pesrson Airport, Toronto, where tags from your checked luggage are placed on another suitcase containing drugs.

If you are concerned about the practice, the CTV article offers a few security tips:

• ⁠Take photos and videos of your bag at the airport. Document what your luggage looks like before you hand it over.
• ⁠Take a photo or video of your bag being weighed. That can help confirm the original weight of your luggage in case anything is added after check-in.
• ⁠Make sure your bag tag is securely attached. Before your bag disappears onto the conveyor belt, check that the tag is properly fastened and clearly visible.
• ⁠Keep a record of your baggage receipt. Do not throw out the small sticker or baggage claim receipt until your trip is over and your luggage is safely back in your possession.
• ⁠Use a luggage tracker. Several victims told W5 that tracking devices helped show where their real bags had gone.
• ⁠Take a photo of the bag tag itself. Make sure the tag number, destination and passenger name are visible.
