Morning. Canada’s $27.6B counter-tariffs are live. A non-meme response. Trump threatens Bombardier. Its 3,500 U.S. workers and 2,800 suppliers would like a word. Reste forte, Québec. Sapporo shifts some production south. Sleeman stays. Trust burns faster than it rebuilds. Coffee on. ☕🇨🇦
I added a new section to my site: Buy Canadian. 🇨🇦 It’s not meant to be a giant directory. Think of it as a waypoint for Canadian resources, directories and places to start when you want to spend, build and support here. Have something I should add? Drop it in the comments and I’ll check it out.

I’ve been spending a little more time on @gandersocial.ca . The feed feels different. People tell stories. Founders answer questions. Bugs get called bugs. Chapman’s posts about ice cream. I wrote about why that matters to me, and why digital sovereignty is more than where we park the servers.

Through a recovered archive of testimonies, smuggled documents, and corrupted broadcasts, one archivist tries to rememb...Pay attention to the language coming from the U.S. Canada is mocked. Belittled. Called weak, dishonest, ungrateful. We’re supposedly taking advantage of the U.S. Make us the enemy. Then whatever comes next becomes easier to justify. This language comes before the violence. Every fucking time.
Morning. Yikes. Some storm, eh. UNEP says we’ll overshoot 1.5°C. The GTA got the field lesson. Hegseth mocks Canadian cadets. Clooney: where’s decency? Dani’s off to Tennessee. What trade war? PM invests in manufacturing. Resilience is built. Cree and Métis voices take TIFF. 🪶 Coffee on. ☕🇨🇦
