Light pillars. Can I share those?!
Paul Durdle 🫐🇨🇦@PaulDurdle

Okay, I need #nlwx experts to explain this one. Last night at ~2:40, I saw what can only be described as spotlight pillars of light beaming up into the sky from every major light. But only when I couldn’t directly see the light (last 2 photos are same light). My lens was clean.

One thing I’m wondering is what shipbuilding work from the gov is the PC’s expecting with the dry dock since all major projects under the NSS are ongoing at other yards. Maybe the DeWolf class in 2032+. MAYBE!

@DigitalSapience To then go on and think you can run your business on it and not know when AI is steering you’re wrong. Disastrous.

@DigitalSapience It’s disappointing to see how deceiving the AI trend is. Having spent the past 8 years in uni, part-time, I’ve seen way too many students think it’s to be all in all only to suffer the consequences of it. They don’t develop the critical skills to know when AI is wrong.

@mattfromnl Literally is part of the road now. I’ve never seen anything like it. Literally the convoy of like 5-7 dump trucks and B trains ran over it 🤣 The plow was cut in too far and had to back up. And like. Half a glacier dislodged lol

What do you do if the snowblower plow knocked a chunk off and then every dump truck in the convoy ran over it so now you have a seeming permanent ice barrier that’s been compacted by 10+ dump trucks?

@DomaLady @Newsweek You serious? Most of Norway is covered in snow till May. Only around 50% of 🇺🇸 gets snow. Also I don’t see Norway even on this list. 😂

@TedBlades Costco will package it up and then they’ll sell it. It’ll be off the shelves before you know it.

@TedBlades @davidzelcer Ask anyone who has had chemo and I’d say they would agree they are not a fan. You can dislike something and still do it. So perhaps somebody is misunderstanding his dislike as not participating.

@davidzelcer I'm not saying that's not true. I just don't see any reference to him being opposed to chemo.

A new report from the CMHC has found that not only will housing construction DECLINE in 2026. It's expected to decline even more in 2027 and decline again in 2028 too. Carney's Build Canada Homes bureaucracy is already a FAILURE, and Pierre predicted that this would happen.

@mercerch @DavidWCochrane @RobertBobmurray Yes, for the demand, and expectation on a position like David is in I’d expect much higher. I was very surprised at local cbc journalism in recent years too. Sure our main anchors were contract workers until during Covid after YEARS of being on tv daily.

@kristinaennis @BlaineBadiuk I think Pierre’s plan is much different from Carney’s. And I don’t think @CPC_HQ is far right at all. I just think many liberals have moved so far left that even the centre seems far right. CPC focused on looking inward to how we get better ourselves Liberals looking outward

@TedBlades @CTVMontreal That’s fair. Kind of looked into it a little more. I think the thing my brain was getting trapped on is technically called renouncing and it is something different. That said I do think it’s fair that those who wish to separate do not retain Canadian citizenship.

@TedBlades @CTVMontreal But they are coming here. Want to be apart of Canada. Seperatists want to leave Canada and have their own sovereignty. I really don’t feel the two are comparable.

@CTVMontreal We don't force immigrants to give up their country-of-origin passports when they become Canadian citizens. We don't take passports away from Canadians who take up citizenship elsewhere. So why wouldn't citizens of an independent Quebec retain THEIR Canadian passports?
