I recognize that this is not a *new* idea, but it occurred to me that if Google wanted to start pushing “51st State" propaganda (or any other disgusting ideas) to a whole generation of children in #Canada , we don't really have a viable alternative to Google Classroom and Chromebooks.
This is why I think data/technology sovereignty is so important, but from what I can tell it's not e…

If I ever ran for office, I'd run on a single issue, government transparency.
Unless it was super duper top secret, every single gov't decision must be automatically and immediately posted to public page/site that had a RSS/Fediverse feed.
Governments are FOR the people BY the people, give us the info!
Let us deal w/ the firehose of information, we can take it!

So Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, affectionately known as #PeePee, is giving a speech this afternoon at a think tank in London, England. Then he's off continuing his official trip as Opposition leader with a stop in Germany.
I assume this trip will attempt to make him appear more PMish and perhaps strengthen his image as a world leader. I can hardly wait until he tries to play word games with the European press who are not as friendly as his preferred media in Canada.

Good Morning #Canada
Back in January my daughter and I set a date to watch the #TorontoSceptres in mid March. It's a good thing we bought tickets early because interest in the Professional Women's Hockey League is surging after the #Olympics. Most of the remaining games in Canada are now sold out, merchandise sales were up over 100% in February, and the league has 5 times the web traffic versus 2025. League management is being cautious but expansion to Europe is now being discussed.
Growing up my daughters were competitive softball players and a lot of their friends played hockey or soccer. At an early age they thought it was bullshit that there were no career options for exceptional women players. Fast forward 20 years and we can now sit in the stands and enjoy professional women's basketball, soccer and hockey. It's not equal to men's sport in pay or prestige yet, but we'll enjoy the progress and cheer for more.

Good Morning #Canada
On this International Day of Happiness I think we should check on Canada’s world ranking on the #Happiness scale. It appears we're are not happy.
I've put some blame on #PeePee in the past for negatively impacting Canadian satisfaction surveys because he incessantly tells us we're broken. Yes, he is exploiting rel issues but maybe working on real solutions would be a better approach. The latest World Happiness Report 2026 has Canada falling 25th place, continuing a downward trend - 18th in 2025 and 13th in 2024. The report suggests that countries who use social media for 5 hours a day, particularly young people, are less happy than those who are doomscrolling less. IMO our youth are not happy because their salaries can't keep pace with the cost of living, but an algorithm would constantly reinforce that if you're active on the platforms owned by U.S. tech bros.
Happy I'm on #Mastodon
