You can tell Star Trek is utopian because the English lost Ireland but took France instead.

It’s definitely English (Data calls French a “dead language” in front of Picard). Picard also drinks tea and likes Shakespeare and Horatio Nelson. Let’s face it: the English genocided the French and moved in.

I feel like I missed out because nobody wired me a butt load of money by mistyping "Mr. Cahn"

A Connecticut Prep School Is Shaken by an I.R.S. Investigation Into Its Leader nytimes.com/2026/11/06/nyreg… The focus of the I.R.S. investigation of Mr. Cahn, 56, whose annual compensation of more than $1 million placed him at the top of the prep school pay scale, was not immediately clear, but it comes amid public scrutiny of fees that families paid to an educational consulting firm in China. The firm presented itself to wealthy clients as a gatekeeper to exclusive prep schools and colleges in the United States, while the company served as a conduit for Mr. Cahn to network with V.I.P.s at gatherings in Shanghai and Hong Kong.

Best to get stuff like this out of the way early, as opposed to during an election campaign

So now that the clocks have changed/not changed that I found out that *after* BC decided to move to permanent UTC -7 that the Kootenays went *out of their way* to not align with the rest of the province. 🙃

This is going to be my litmus test for the incoming Doerkson regime. Eby might have been a little chicken shit, but a real administration would pacify these kinds of adolescent piss takes with the full force imbued in our constitution and backed by electoral mandate.

Funny thing. You might assume from the map that the mass of Canada's population was ~one time zone further west than the US's. It's the other way around: the US centroid (in MO) is about 15° west of Canada's (Newmarket, ON)

Poppy discourse going around, so just an FYI the Canadian Legion now sells actual hard poppy pins with backs you can order from Amazon for under 5 bucks and avoid the annual struggle with the velvet and straight pin ones.

It felt like it took a decade of living in Canada to understand how the name "Hamburger Helper" even makes sense.

The biggest reason why Americans and the rest of the world disagree on "Chicken Burgers" is that Americans view Hamburgerness as coming from the Patty while the rest of the world view it as coming from the bun

Jagmeet Singh on an Ottawa sidewalk, boxed in against his Mercedes by an angry crowd. What's in the bag Jagmeet, they cry. We're all sick of not knowing what's in the bag. Jagmeet's face is stony, his turban glowing under the photographer's lamps in brilliant magenta. With immense dignity, as if there is no mob, he bends to the red Nike duffel, unzips. The crowd bays anxiously as Jagmeet reaches, grasps. It's another Jagmeet! A miniature Jagmeet, a squirming baby with his same fierce face and pink turban. The crowd is chastened, stunned. The big Jagmeet begins to cradle the little Jagmeet, soothing him. He looks now to the crowd, plaintive. Sighs of relief, chastened applause. Baby Jagmeet is laughing. The tension has dissolved. A few minutes after yesterday's release

I thought the RBC HSBC Canada acquisition was always a bs thing to just buy a set of captive clients, but I recently saw an ad for RBC HKD services and thought "whoa they're not *completely* treating us like shit"
