My dad was my best friend. We could finish each other's sentences, and we spoke every day of my life about business, politics, life, and most importantly, family. He passed away last night (Nov 12th) with all of us at his side. Until the last minute, he worked with us on everything from his obituary, to what he wanted at his funeral, and how we can keep his legacy alive (including our strong PEI roots in Georgetown and beyond). He was the healthiest person I knew, active for 3 hours a day through his late 70s until a sudden AML leukemia diagnosis this spring rocked our lives. My dad fought so hard throughout this battle, and he never complained. The nurses would ask him how he was doing and he would smile, compliment their "terrific" work, and ask them about their lives. Late in the summer, the chemo started to work so we had him home with us on PEI where we enjoyed many wonderful days. Unfortunately, this past Friday, things took a turn for the worse and we rushed from our home in Toronto to be by his side. The leukemia had returned with a vengeance, and the chemo was no longer working. I am grateful that we had six extra (and often tough) months with him thanks to modern medicine and phenomenal healthcare teams in both Toronto (@Sunnybrook) and on the Island (@QEHFoundation). Also, more than 50 blood transfusions kept him alive throughout this time and gave him more better days than worse (thank you @CanadasLifeline - if you can donate, please do). My dad's funeral is this Saturday, which will be a celebration of his incredible life. I look forward to sharing more about him, but it will undoubtedly be the toughest speech of my life because you couldn't possibly sum up what he meant to me and so many others in such a short amount of time. facebook.com/share/p/jtYo6Vv… Love you, Dad xo

Could not agree more.

A solid result for Canada for our first World Cup game on home turf. It is also remarkable that we played this first game against Bosnia-Herzegovina, a country where 40,000 members of the Canadian Armed Forces served with distinction over the course of two decades. 🇨🇦 🇧🇦

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

1. There is a long list of hateful things Elon Musk has done - you picked one of them, what about the others? 2. Elon Musk himself admits DOGE failed 3. See PBS report below 4. Have a nice day. And pls know, I don't hate Elon Musk, I just think he is a horrible person

That you shouldn't pretend that large groups of people are all the same so that you can encourage others to blindly hate them. To be clear, that's a bad article, but "all of Cdn media" didn't write that article, so it's an unhelpful generalization about 10,000 ppl.
