    In this, the first day of the post &amp;#39;Tim Apple&amp;#39; era, new CEO John Ternus has a chance to make his mark and move on from the inauguration donations, golden trophies and Melania screenings. What will he decide, I wonder? https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-apple-lake-ontario-9.7327014

    @heliomass this has been a minor ongoing controversy since he got into office. Although I personally prefer standard Canadian English, there are so many alien American spellings that have crept into everyday life in Canada that I am very happy for the prime minister to go #FullBritish, if only to balance things out a bit.

    Mark Carney apparently had the time and energy, between today&amp;#39;s EU state of the union in Strasbourg and his own speech in Strasbourg tomorrow, to leg it up to Liverpool to meet with the British PM and take in a bit of the footie. Seems like quite the character, this prime minister of ours 😮 #cdnpoli

    Prime Minister Mark Carney addresses European Parliament in Strasbourg the day after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed opening door to Canada becoming first associate EU member. Featuring English, French and a smattering of German #cdnpoli https://www.cpac.ca/headline-politics/episode/pm-mark-carney-addresses-european-parliament?id=345d762f-3942-417b-a0e2-201bb7a3501b

    I love how Radio-Canada&amp;#39;s baseline assumption is that you would never even think of going to watch a huge prestigious international event happening in your city and that your only interest in life is knowing where you can go vroom vroom with your car. #Montreal #Montréal

    I enjoy breathless tech coverage as much as the next person, but some would say athletes have been &amp;#39;integrating wearables into their training&amp;#39; since the advent of the wristwatch. I know I would https://www.theverge.com/gadgets/916744/oura-us-soccer

    It&amp;#39;s quite something to behold that the current wave of Alberta separatism kicked off the day after the federal election, when the country chose a prime minister from Edmonton instead of a prime minister from Calgary. Truly, the new crybabies of confederation. #cdnpoli

    Against all odds, I&amp;#39;ve somehow managed to write a second post over at @journal. It turns out I&amp;#39;d been so thoroughly absorbed by the endlessly compelling #TapestryApp from @Iconfactory that I forgot I was supposed to be writing 😅 So I decided to write about it https://orthographi.ca/monitoring-the-situation/
