Excellent article discussing some issues with full-speed adoption of wind and solar as "the" solution to climate change. Worth the time to read and grapple with, regardless of your point of view.

This is a truly terrifying statistic, and sad comment on the US and gun violence. A VERY small upside of the pandemic shutdown...

Last month was the first March without a school shooting in the United States since 2002.

Hey #aircanada, "thank you for your patience" is NOT the same thing as Sorry. Especially when #aircanada screws up a basic operation like getting the right amount of fuel on a plane.

[Pelino Colaiacovo @PelinoC]

Absolutely shitty #AirCanada service today. Too much fuel on the plane. Sat on tarmac for an hour and a half before leaving gate. Offered water once during the wait. Three false times for departure. Not even a "sorry". Disgustingly bad operation.

This is a very interesting and provocative article about the potential regulation of AI in the future. We should treat algorithms like prescription drugs https://t.co/B70eOYmOwO via @qz

Broke my recently purchased phone today, can a #Rogers store help me? NO OF COURSE NOT. Have to phone a number, file a claim, pay a deductible, wait for shipment, yadayadayada... LOUSY SERVICE. Surpise? No, I guess not. Phones sitting in the store? Yup, but not for me...

@BV Meant to also add that this is a good summary of the negative fall out from long-term asset value inflation going on.

Today, the Liberal family suffers a great loss. We offer our condolences to Arnold’s family and thank him for his decades of public service.

Conservative votes only declined by 200k from 2011. They truly did keep their "base", but got NOTHING else...

Since 2011, registered voter base grew by 1.5 M. Tories lost 200k votes. NDP lost 1 M votes. Liberals gained 4 M. Turnout was the delta...

[Pelino Colaiacovo @PelinoC]

More interesting election numbers: Liberals got votes from 27% of registered voters, highest total for a winner since 1993 (when 28%).

[Pelino Colaiacovo @PelinoC]

Interesting numbers at Elections.ca: voter turnout above 68% based on preliminary numbers; highest since 1993.

Republican primary as an animated "horse race". An ironic meta-commentary, or just an unintended one? http://t.co/r5wTyBv16O
