Just gloating that I called this! #felixaugeraliassime

This does not go far enough. We should rename Canada itself. Since it is north of us, we should call it North America.

Interesting new paper: Quebec's universal child care program produced earnings gains for moms that grew to twice the initial effect years after kids aged out of care — enough to recoup more than 100% of cost in added tax revenue. Investment in child care pays for itself.

one easy rule change i would do away with, the assessment time is a complete joke, there is no specific time how long it can be , should be 3 min injury TO and that’s it,also should have to be on your serv, if it happens in middle of game and u choose to take MTO, u should instantly forfeit the game

A rare Carney interview -with fellow economist ZMB (formidable). Let’s hope the full version goes well beyond econ which he clearly enjoys too much (just look at his face when he says “comparative advantage” -twice!)
On Tuesday @MarkJCarney, Canada’s prime minister, will meet Donald Trump at the White House. In an interview in Ottawa last week, I asked him what America’s president was like to deal with. Watch the full interview on Thursday at 7pm London time: econ.st/3KXJVLh
Last year I watched Ben Shelton and his dad up close in Montreal, on court 5, where he lost to eventual champ Alexei Popyrin. Nice to see him make it all the way through this year.
Just reposting something that seems strangely appropriate again. The Taco space mobile with Canadarm.

On #cbc #atIssue @althiaraj argument pro bi election in Terrebonne seems fair. But what are the implications of a ruling that an election that has accidental irregularities should be redone? Where does the line get drawn? How many? How substantial? If it were fraud, then yes

Genuinely hilarious that the Trump backlash effect has now elected liberals in Canada, Australia, and…the Vatican
Thank you! Why can't our national media do this kind of helpful visual breakdown!
It is not.
It makes some very different choices.
Because this is the moment we face and what we must do to take on Trump.

Proud to make the cut
Taleb on flaneuring:
Cities are living organisms. Like all organisms they are indivisible and mutate over time. Some cities are more alive than others. You can only "feel" a city by flaneuring, walking slowly (very slowly) without any predetermined goal.
2) Cities great for flaneuring: NYC, Athens,Belgrade, Moscow, Milan, Rome, Beirut, Istanbul, Bogota, Montreal,Buenos Aires, Rio (not SP), Paris, Budapest, Warsaw ...
OK: London, Mexico C., Oslo, Stockholm, Copenh
Sometimes: Venice, Rome, Prague (too many tourists).
Nono: Dubai.
3) Also great: Tokyo, Palermo, Damascus, Tripoli (Leb).
Some parts: Delhi, Mumbai.
4) Basically, you need to avoid large avenues, areas with tourists, etc. Paris is only flaneurable in parts ignored by Haussman
5) Bologna is too small. To enjoy flaneuring in the city, it must have mysteries, you must feel a little lost. You are not looking for a place to live. Cities must be dense and large.
Hong Kong is great.

Belgrade is full of charm & a great flaneuring city. Perfect size (`1m), some parts are renovated, others look like they have been forgotten by history, which makes them mysterious, real, and at times, gripping.
Food is ⅓ Ottoman,
People look 3/8 Ottoman
Marvelous

The real Med is more like flaneuring in messy neighborhoods w/distinctive odors & laundry hanging from the balconies.

Flaneuring cities in non-fancy, non-touristic streets, getting the neighborhood spirit Σ' αυτή τη γειτονιά:
Naples (#1 by far)
Beirut
Athens
Istanbul
Palermo
Belgrade
Bucharest
Non Med, non-post-Ottoman cities ("North Atlantic") are too self-conscious abt hanging laundry...
--
Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo, H-K, Singapore... of these Tokyo is paradoxically the best for flaneuring. Others are too dominated by buildings.

Egregious error on Power & Politics! Claiming Habs haven't been in playoffs since 2011! They were in the finals in 2021! @CBC I demand a retraction! youtube.com/live/h01RHRk3kXE… via @YouTube
Wow @RobertFife. Globe & Mail had the chance to self correct after publishing a claim by JCCC that they had a meeting with Carney based only on a photo from a campaign event. There are other photos from this event all over the internet right now. Instead you doubled down?
