@globeandmail Ontario's pension sector has already produced the CAAT cautionary tale this year about what happens when boards mistake entrenchment for stability. Is OMERS determined to test whether the lesson was learned?

@globeandmail OMERS "independent" chair is now in year 13 of a possible 16-year run. Hutcheson has occupied a seat at the senior management table since 2010. Succession planning is indistinguishable from succession prevention.

@PatrickBrethour Our Chief Justice has now lumped the Globe’s editorial and Lord Denning in with the dirty rabble. Bishop Strachan lives, sneering from the pew down on Mr Brown.

I love this from the New York Times about how AI is being used in farming. Great examples like: cows can go to the robot milker when they need rather than on an uncomfortable schedule, lasers to kill weeds without pesticides, etc. Farmers have long adopted new technology early.

@WSJ Pelley's imperious tough guy posing always made me turn the channel. The new evening news with Tony Dokoupil has got me watching CBS again.

The latest estimates of what the average British household might need for a comfortable retirement may make for some uncomfortable viewing. How can you boost your odds of retiring with “enough”? Today’s Money Distilled takes a look. https://t.co/3w5aKD4XW1

Canada is in a recession, and let's never forget that immigration levels are still far higher than when @stephenharper was PM & @MarkJCarney was BoC Chief.

RT @globeandmail Carney attributes ‘weakness’ in economic data to lower immigration targets https://t.co/2l9Y0sWzAu
