My latest, on the political leaders jockeying to plead Canada's case in the Alberta referendum, or rather to use the referendum to advance their own ends: It’s not the separatists who are the real threat to the country. It’s the federalists

My Globe op-ed on Canada's digital self-sabotage ahead of AI strategy release, which has tech sector alarmed and thinking of an exit. No chance at leadership when policies threaten security, make Internet services uneconomic, and raise AI adoption barriers

Bill C-22’s “scope could mean requiring companies to install spy tools into mobile devices, social media and messaging apps, cloud-storage services, video game platforms, smart home devices, live video camera networks, or health and fitness trackers”

I'm not afraid of undocumented immigrants, homosexuals, trans people, drag queens, socialists, or even Satanists. It's the Bible-banging white-right puritans that terrify me. https://t.co/bijVhXAega

In light of today's revisionist-history #Rededicate250 #Freedom250 rally set to sell the Christian nation myth, allow me to quote founding father Thomas Paine.

Signal says it may have to exit the Canadian market under Bill C-22. VPN services say the same. Apple and US Congressional leaders are warning about privacy risks. The list of critics keeps growing. How did the government create this lawful access mess?

Why are Signal, Apple, VPNs and the US Congress raising alarm bells about Canada’s lawful access plans? My post on the privacy and cybersecurity risks to Canadians with Bill C-22’s two-headed monster of metadata retention and new surveillance capabilities.

@RogersHelps It’s almost impossible to get through to wireless tech support. Twitter is much more responsive. I guess I will have to switch to Starlink - too bad. Rogers was great for a while

@Rogers Tower C8689 RF power is still dying about every 10 minutes. Affecting all of our neighbours

[Bill St. Arnaud @BillStarnaud]

@RogersHelps For the first year RF signal from C8689 was rock solid - 4 bars on various phones, Nokia last mile, etc. Now RF signal fluctuates about every 10 minutes. I have clear LOS to tower about 1 km away. Neighbours reporting the same problem

My latest, on all the many things we have to thank Donald Trump for https://t.co/9DMyyyPAww

[Andrew Coyne 🇺🇦🇮🇱🇬🇪🇲🇩 @acoyne]

That he still has the support of 43 per cent of whites, 38 per cent of men, 42 per cent of those over 50, and 68 per cent of Republicans, is just astonishing. Among older white male Republicans it must be over 80 per cent.

Mark Carney: "Many of our former strengths, built on our close ties to the US, have become weaknesses. The US has changed. That's their right. And we're responding ... we're deepening our partnerships with our closest allies, including the EU, the Nordic countries, and Australia."

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

AI never disappoints when I do things like ask it to make a Bosch painting of RFK Jr and the Republicans at the Senate HELP Committee. Following up on why RFK Jr needs to be removed from his position yesterday, lest our torment become eternal.

So much winning? A sober, and terrifying assessment of what may turn out to be one of the most expensive and counterproductive military operations in history. https://t.co/vciK7JLcJH
