A tale of two companies. @thenorthface completely replaced my 10yo tent when some of the straps got loose. @Chamberlain won't even send me the part that broke off their drive after only 3 years. x.com/grevory/status/1681470…

15 year drive warranty on the @Chamberlain garage door opener drive is a scam. This is 3 years old and they basically just told me there is nothing they can do. Can't even buy the part in Canada, even though they have it in the US.

I miss Dubas. Overpaying on bottom talent is the Treliving way.
Ryan Reaves for three years is too long. Ryan Reaves at $1.3M is too much. The surplus value listed here is generous because I created a lower limit that Reaves' play falls well below.

Dunno if everyone knows this, but in Canada, public airwaves belong to all of us. In exchange for using the airwaves, broadcasters have long been required to provide local news service. So Bell is asking here to abandon its foundational responsibility to the Canadian public.

From a Canadian firefighter who knows what’s going on: #canada #wildfire #smoke (Worth the read) “I know you may know, but people need to know and understand that most Canadian wildfire management agencies have fire “zonation” policies similar to Alaska. This means in large areas of their jurisdictions, especially in the northern part of the country, wildfires are left to run there natural course w little or no direct action or suppression. We’ll protect values at risk, ie. infrastructure, communities, critical habitat or culturally significant features on the landscape, we’ll map them and maybe try to burn them to natural barrier, fight one flank and let the rest roll (limited action) but we are not putting them out. On many of the fires we don’t even try. A number of these fires are huge boreal gobblers (I am currently assigned to a 250,000 ha fire, well over 600,000 acres and you could fit the org. chart on one side of a beer can). The only thing that is going to put out this fire out and many across the country is winter, 5 months from now. It’s going to be a long, smoky summer for everyone. You have a wide reach, it would be great if you can help people understand these dynamics in the Canadian wildfire scene when they’re bitching about the smoke. Cheers 🍻 and thanks.” Pretty decent picture of what’s going on. Thanks for the insight. In the industry we call this letting a fire “Do its thing”. It’s especially common in these vast boreal forests. Siberia does the same thing. Identify hazards and values at risk, mitigate, let it go. Cheers.

Another remarkable cartoon from @CH_Cartoon that really puts things into perspective. Fighting climate change shouldn't be a partisan issue. Fires, floods, and other climate disasters are a threat to us all. We can't afford to play politics with our own survival.

Thank you Premier Furey
A valuable member of our team is facing an unimaginable situation. Our friend Nicole Kieley is a selfless contributor to our province, through her work with our government and as Deputy Mayor of Mount Pearl. Our thoughts are with Nicole and her family as she recovers.

If you are able to donate, Nicole suffered a terrible accident and could use your help. Wether you can or not, I’d very much appreciate it if you could share. Thanks so much.

A GoFundMe has been started for @NicoleKieley, who was victim of a horrible accident last weekend. I was there, and covered the incident. I wouldn't wish the ordeal on anyone. gofundme.com/f/nicole-kieley…

Can't believe we need to raise money for her. I'm still in shock over her accident. She has a long recovery ahead of her. Everything helps. Thank you all.
