There are whiffs of things vaguely like this (but not really) in paragraph 28 of this: www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...
and in U of Tβs account of the visit: www.utoronto.ca/news/u-t-dee...
Maybe AI-generated slop that has just been repeated and iterated?

The hyphen will haunt me. Thereβs so much else wrong with the typesetting, but the hyphen is a sign of a diseased mind.

Would you send Bruno to shoot a public meeting or a charity dinner? Not if you could help it.
But you also wouldnβt choose your A1 art until youβd seen what Bruno had filed that day.

Many journalists are hard to work with, and theyβre pretty much never good enough to justify how impossible they are. Bruno was.

The Ottawa Citizen building.
From an urbanism perspective, this kind of thing makes infinite sense. The property is underused and connected to the LRT by a new pedestrian bridge. Build housing!
It was my professional home for a long, long time, though, and that it'll be torn down makes me sad.

I ask people who think about the future of work in an AI world what a junior job will look like and I have never had a satisfying answer.
Most often they say they don't know; sometimes they say yes, that part worries them.
The best response I've had yet is that mentoring will be really important.

Mixed news there.
On the one hand, no, it's way down. On the other, I guess we can have a proper Epstein investigation now.

Anyway, this and a thousand other things like it are why local media matters. Pushing for answers, sustaining pressure, dishing out public shame, diligently keeping a professional eye on things is how problems get fixed and people in power donβt get away with ineptitude or worse.

People keep saying that this goes against the Davis speech. It does not. Carney said the rules based international order was always hypocritical, is now dead, and we live in a time of rupture. I disagree with support but this is not against what he said. The sign is gone. GONE GONE.

I make style mistakes. I've made style mistakes just today. Thank goodness for copy editors. But you're supposed to at least try to minimize what they have to do.

I hear you, and I do think thereβs something (a lot, really) to what youβre saying: Buddy can run faster than a streetcar, OK. In work clothes? With groceries? Two kids in tow? A bad knee?
Thereβs at least somewhat more to what the students are doing.
