Excited to share that I’ve joined the Battlefield 6 team!
It’s an amazing opportunity to help shape a series I’ve always loved. I’ll be making the move to Vancouver early next year to be closer to the action. Can’t wait for what’s ahead. 🇨🇦🔥

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Unfollow me if you must, but I am completely against generative AI. It is unethical and destroying not just our planet but braincells of those using it.
Quit using it.

Mr. Coxon is right.
The very people building this technology admit that it could threaten the future of humanity.
That is why I will soon be introducing legislation to ban superintelligence and pause AI development.

Foreign interference is a persistent threat to Canada and to our democracy inside and outside of election cycles.
We encourage all Canadian citizens to stay informed and prepared.

Canada stands in full solidarity with Germany, following Russia’s hybrid attack at Leipzig Airport on August 4.
Attacking a Ukrainian cargo plane on German soil was an egregious attempt by Russia to weaken our resolve and our collective defence – and it will fail.

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

- A trade deficit is not "losing," it means you spent more money acquiring useful stuff from a country than the country spent acquiring useful stuff from you
- The US trade deficit with Canada exists because the US buys a lot of discounted, convenient Canadian oil
- It was a $27 billion deficit last year, per US data...$55 billion if you only count goods trade and ignore services trade, but services also exist

.@POTUS on Canada: "They are one of the worst countries in the world to deal with... They take advantage of us as though they were a state — and they're not a state... It's time to teach Canada you can't do this anymore. We lose $60 billion, and really more than that, a year with Canada. We can't do that."

Fun fact: Lake Ontario is not named after the Province of Ontario.
The Province of Ontario is named after Lake Ontario.
Lake Ontario takes its name from the Wyandot word Ontario, translated as "great lake" or "lake of shining waters."
This was an existing name that settlers recorded in 1600s.

- The US Department of Agriculture correctly says on its website that "almost all" US agricultural exports to Canada face no tariffs at all
- The super-high Canadian dairy tariffs Trump often talks about are *over-quota* tariffs...tariffs that apply only after certain negotiated quantities of zero-tariff exports are met...and those quotas are rarely hit, often not even approached
- Most Canadian exports go to the US, but it's not close to "95%"; it was about 72% of goods exports in 2025, down from 76% in 2024
- The US goods-trade deficit with Canada has sometimes been $60 billion but often been much smaller, and it overwhelmingly exists for one reason: the US imports a lot of cheap Canadian oil
