Marc Garneau was my role model, mentor, 30-plus year close friend and a brave and exemplary Canadian for us all. My heart goes out to his family. The world has lost a very good man.

Another way to read Tim Cook's gift to Trump of inscribed glass atop a gold slab: Its like sci-fi: "Hello I'm the emissary of an advanced civilization that can make a device that fits all the universe's knowledge into the palm of the hand. But you are a primitive tribal

I understand nuclear proponents want spinning mass to be important, but as I explain here, that is simply outdated thinking. Batteries and grid forming inverters are basically better in every way, especially regarding anti-fragility. Sorry. x.com/AukeHoekstra/s…

Here's a question I know many are wondering about: why did China wait until now to use rare earths as leverage against the US? Why not in the first Trump administration when the US started the trade hostilities? Or when the Biden administration unleashed the chips export controls

Hi Andrew Leach 🇨🇦: I fixed Grok. Asked it why he came out spreading falsehoods about Mark Carney not being PM. Challenged it with this link: commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-brief… and it responded with an admission of errors, which it went on to explain! Right Grok?

Following this crazy "error" from xAI's Grok regarding Canada's PM still being Trudeau, I just wrote the summary of what happened and how it was corrected: "Not infallible — remain vigilant with AI!" medium.com/p/not-infallib… Andrew Leach 🇨🇦 CdnPoli.News The Globe and Mail Enrique Dans

The problem isn't Trump. The problem is the US. When the outside world observes Trump's insane behaviour and his threats against allies, and we at the same time observe that there is no real action from the US public, Congress, the US Supreme Court, or the US media about this

Speaking at Davos and without ever mentioning the name of America's pedophile führer, Canada's PM Mark Carney, with one of the most powerful pro-democracy, anti-authoritarian fascism speeches you'll ever hear. If you're a Canadian, you should be brimming with pride. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

🇨🇦 Canada Steps Forward as the New Leader of the Free World What happened in Davos was more than a well received speech. It felt like a geopolitical handover. When Mark Carney finished speaking, delegates rose to their feet in what many observers describe as a rare standing
