Four years ago I was day drinking by myself at a Korean fried chicken restaurant and everyone was watching the World Cup being played in Qatar. This annoyed me as hockey is the superior sport, and so I licked my fingers and hastily fired off this tweet from my little 1,000 follower account. It went viral and changed my life. Interviews on cable news, hundreds of thousands in endorsements, movie offers, and although I can’t say much in detail due to NDAs, let’s just say I was invited to “dinner” with a woman whose name rhymes with “Kidney Queeney.” I measure my life as either BHT or AFT (before hockey tweet or after hockey tweet). Thank you World Cup. Thank you for changing my life.

Tagging @Canada @AAFC_Canada @CornwallHeath @environmentca this would be huge for farmers Decrease down time. Decrease overall operating expense. Decrease purchase expense. Ask anyone’s dealer. I’m sure they will say emissions is the number one call out that could be prevented

A new column from me after getting a common question after presentations in both Canada and the US. "Who do I listen to for objective, unbiased news and information?" Stop searching for the truth and instead be open to perspectives realagriculture.com/2026/05/…

Your personal mosquito air defense system LiDAR locks onto a mosquito in 3 milliseconds. Laser fires. Fried. Up to 30 per second and works in pitch dark. It's called the Photon Matrix. The tech is literally descended from Reagan's Star Wars missile defense program, just shrunk down to fry bugs in your backyard. You wanted one yesterday didn't you.

An incredibly important report making the case to ensure our critical infrastructure is functioning day in and day out to help regain our status as a reliable supplier.

“Give them a massive amount of oil, agricultural land, copper, freshwater, and every natural resource in the world. Now make them neighbors with the biggest market in the world. Great, now have them leave the resources in the ground and instead flip condos to each other”.

Canada can't afford more supply chain disruptions. 70% of Canadian grain is exported, when rail and ports stop moving, farmers pay the price immediately and permanently. Canada needs a modernized labour framework for trade-enabling sectors. Take action👉keepgrainmoving.ca
