Good Morning #Canada
Everyone knows that Canada's 243,000 km of coastline are the longest in the world. At a pace of about 20 km each day, the stroll would take 33 years. Inside of that long shoreline, did you know that Canada is divided into seven physiographic regions? We're not talking mind altering drugs but instead reference the distinct geological formation that defines the landscape. The Canadian Shield, with the oldest exposed rocks on the planet, dominates the centre of the country with stable immovable bedrock. Kinda like Toronto being the centre of the universe. Each physiographic region gives that area of our country unique features and scenery that provides us with a seemingly inexhaustible opportunity to explore. I should be writing travel brochures...

The weapon…a high-energy laser, was used earlier in the week to target what turned out to be at least one mylar party balloon…"

Please complain about Schumer and his cohort. Please give the mushy centrists black eyes. Please light a fire under all the politicians.
But…please also look for work you can do that doesn’t center around elections. Start local. Help people. Throw sand in the gears. Whatever it is, do work that counts.
Create a context in which there •has• to be an anti-fascist opposition party, because that’s the work so many people are already doing. •That• is what the cynicism is trying to stop you from doing.

Fairphone is really losing points with me right now. I received an email with a survey from bazaarvoice-cgc.com, which was actually commissioned by Fairphone to conduct these surveys via email. On their website, they even lie to your face:
"Is Bazaarvoice spam?
This email from Bazaarvoice is not spam or a phishing attempt; it is a genuine request to share your experience with the product you purchased with Fairphone."
Go to hell and rot in my blacklist.
