Good Morning #Canada
December 15th, 1964, the Canadian House of Commons votes 163 to 78 to approve the red Maple Leaf flag. The vote put an end to years of conflict over the Liberals proposing a new flag, and gave Canada a new symbol for its upcoming 100th birthday celebration. In 1960, Lester B. Pearson, then Leader of the Opposition, declared that he was determined to solve what he called “the flag problem.” To Pearson, this issue was critical to defining Canada as a unified, independent country. As the newly elected Prime Minister in 1963, Pearson promised to resolve the question of a new national flag in time for Canada’s centennial celebrations in 1967. Traditionalists fought for their beloved Union Jack while a younger generation wanted a new modern design to represent Canada. Thousands of designs, some truly ugly, were considered and rejected, including Pearson's preferred flag. I think we did OK in the end.

Neil Young - "After The Gold Rush" (1970)
Somehow I went all these years without acquiring this record, until today. Apparently this lp was inspired by a Dean Stockwell script for a movie that never got produced.

Digital autonomy is unavoidable, but demands more than a quick fix - Delta
Digital autonomy is not a luxury, it is essential. This was the message communicated this summer by researchers from the Rathenau Institute to Dutch knowledge institutions in a report about digital dependence on foreign technology companies. Delta asked ICT director Erik Scherff about the university’s position on this. His reply: “The current geopolitics forces us to negotiate.”
