This is James Harrison.

When he was 18, he learned that his blood contained an antibody that could treat a rare blood disease in infants. He donated blood every week for the next 60 years.

By the time he was done, he'd saved more than 2.4 million lives.

Point taken @sean_pratt, thanks, especially on the speed of Chancay's build. Still almost twice as far as Vancouver to China. Alphaliner says Chancay to Shanghai is 9,276 knots (22 days-13 hrs sailing @ 17 knots/hr. Vancouver to Shanghai: 5,091 knots taking 12 day 9 hours.

@accfanto @acoyne The flat fee is mindless about how the cost is spread out across shippers or their cargo whether it's a smaller bulk ship with soybeans or a 20,000 TEU box ship. The backlash from hearings last month is at least causing some rethinking.

[Wallace Oyama 🇨🇦 (@wallylms.bsky.social) @wallylms]

@terryoinfluence I just did, thank you very much. As I wrote, very fortunate that the #Beatles exhibit was extended to May 19th when I went to @nmc_canada yesterday. Your Beatlogy episode was a great compliment to it!

Hey @terryoinfluence. If you haven't heard or seen it already, #StudioBell Canadian Music museum is hosting a #Beatles in Canada exhibit until May 19th if you happen to be in #Calgary (as always, thanks to you and your team for your show)!

@ChadBown @Aime_Williams Very happy to see you & the Trade Talks podcast is back. You may have found out by now, though, fentanyl & border security are flimsy reasons for the tariffs to be slapped on #Canada.

Canadian ambassador says they're "perplexed" by Trump's tariffs
Trump's justification is migrants & fentanyl flowing into US

But U.S. CBP Data shows 1.5% of migrant apprehensions & less than 1% of fentanyl seizures take place along the US -Canada Border @ABCWorldNews @ABC

@ChadBown Watching for your return is one reason I stuck around on Twitter (& yes, I see you're now on Bluesky)! Looking forward to watching for your thoughts during this turbulent period in global trade.

We don't know when, how much or which products they'll apply to, but we do know Canada will be hit with tariffs from the U.S. In fact, writes @DadeCWF, we've known for months and have failed to prepare.

Why does the B.C. government ignore this low-cost passenger rail network for the Fraser Valley?
A carbon-free, 99-k light system, which would connect many communities untouched by the @TransLink extension, is enthusiastically supported.

Canada faces the "most serious threat to its sovereignty and economic prosperity since the Second World War." CWF's Gary Mar, @DadeCWF and other experts suggest ways to prepare for the incoming president's "America First" policies.

@SamChambers Happy New Year! Not mentioned in your @Splash_247 piece (including if its on the Pentagon's list) but any update on ZPMC and the US plans to replace those port cranes? https://t.co/RviDFEqXFJ

@VancouverSun Follows news a few weeks ago that the US will be spending US$20 billion to replace the Chinese-built container cranes at its ports with ones built in America by an affiliate of Mitsui, a Japanese company.
