  • I've finally powered on a 15 year old machine to run a bot I've been writing. The thing is slow as dirt and stuck behind a flakey power line network, but it's working. I got to write my first systemd service definition, which is kind of cool.

  • This seems like a scenario where throwing money at a problem might help. The feds can put money into universities to grow class sizes:

    Reimer argues that Ottawa can help address this crisis in several ways, including increasing medical school class sizes, making it easier for internationally trained doctors to work in Canada and recruiting doctors from other countries, including the United States.

    Similarly, the last Liberal government was very effective at getting provinces and municipalities to change policies by offering funding. Incentives to convince provinces to effectively deploy nurse practitioners could help:

    “We have over 10,000 nurse practitioners in Canada, with more than half of them in Ontario,” Grdisa explained. “But despite their proven track record of delivering high-quality, cost-effective care, they’re still not being used to their full potential.”

  • Poilievre now has undisclosed amounts of money in the Vanguard FTSE Canada Index ETF, as well as in Purpose Bitcoin, a registered Canadian ETF.

    The Vanguard ETF consists of investments in dozens of companies, including Brookfield Corporation and Brookfield Asset Management.

    In a statement to the Star, Lilly said Poilievre does not hold individual stocks in Brookfield, and that he does not control the contents of his ETFs.

    Holding an ETF that includes Brookfield doesn't seem like a conflict of interest beyond holding shares in general.

    There are lots of reasons to criticise Poilievre and the CPC - this isn't one of them.

  • Paul Chiang — the Liberal candidate for Markham-Unionville — suggested during a local Chinese-language media news conference in January that people should claim the bounty on Joe Tay — currently running for the Conservatives in the Toronto riding of Don Valley North.

    "To everyone here, you can claim the one-million-dollar bounty if you bring him to Toronto's Chinese consulate," Chiang said, according to the Toronto Association for Democracy in China (TADC).
