Just got followed by a digital marketing director with zero followers and my brain wants to crawl out of my own ass and flush itself down a toilet to safety.

At least the shit down there is respectable.

At least the shutdown there can be respected.

My Montreal experience, all my adult life, has been dressing appropriate for the outside and the possibility of getting stuck outside, and dreading every single moment on the subway system and at the office. Condolences.

Counter tariffs are fine but Canada needs to start planning long term about the fact that our neighbour is no longer to be trusted. The rule of law is dead there.

If you work with a database and are asked to alter the table structure to comply in advance for citizenship or gender categorizations it's really important to NOT do it.

"The governor is concerned about all this stuff they want us to update our record keeping so we store both gender AND biological sex."

"We need fields to store the country of origin of people's parents."

If you don't have the power to rebuff this yourself, ask for help. At minimum ask for help online anonymously.

Just saw the headline "Elon Musk accused of making what appeared to be fascist salute" from CBC. Is mainstream journalism too cowardly to call a straight up, broad daylight nazi salute for what it is now? How can you still be in denial about it?

And for whatever it's worth, Settler Colonialism is a far better explanation for indexing and understanding what is transpiring in the United States than "fascism".

None of this presents as a break from the American tradition. It's as old as John Winthrop, George Washington, Brigham Young and Bull Connor. Not being able to see that, or refusing to do so, betrays a rather tenuous and incurious grasp of just how the West was won.
