"Canada has always been plural. It has always contained many languages, ethnicities and tribes. The triumph of compromise among difference is the triumph of Canadian history. That seems to be an ideal worth fighting for."

“The skirt was shiny and eye-catching. She worried about what people would think—what they would say and write about her. I put my hands on her shoulders and said as gently as I possibly could: ‘Who gives a f—?’”https://t.co/V5yOPOYVaN via @WSJ

Superbly written profile of new @FTX_Official CEO John J. Ray III — the guy who built a career “plumbing the depths of management rot” to restore order and recoup funds.

[Ben Cohen @bzcohen]

He's the son of a plumber. He once worked at Waste Management. Then he made a career out of cleaning up corporate mess. So now he's the CEO of FTX. https://t.co/SDvy5ghKAn

@TomSpears1 Bless them — except for the house sparrows! Sorry, but their incessant, irritating, shrill chirps are torture any time of day. They are kind of cute though, I’ll give them that.
