Last year my kids were delayed for 7 days, missing Christmas at home. It happens again, 2h before their departure tonight they rebooked the flight for two days later. WestJet is a big scam.
My kids were supposed to come home with Westjet on Dec 20th. Their rebooted flight this morning was canceled again and now rebook for Dec 30th. Is this reasonable?

I wish Canada would be at least half as advanced as Portugal. Guess it makes a difference to have big oil run our politics. https://t.co/gdp2qLj7K4

Had a nice chat with a French journalist, definitely not a chatbot as she asked passionate questions. https://t.co/Tgkx1Qn2nj

Had a fun little talk with a Chris Jeffries from the The Homeless Romantic Podcast. AI, the brain, and politics. https://t.co/LwX839bwc3

I'm no longer the leader of GPNS, but we still need an electoral reform. Indeed, I question the usefulness of parties as I find inspiration and good will across the board. https://t.co/ITx5FThrkx via @YouTube

So far, 2 flights with Air Canada were canceled for my family. Not much of a weekend anymore. Of course, always outside the control of AC. Really? What is going on?

LLMs are not more intelligent than humans. Being better at something is not the point. A calculator is much better multiplying large numbers. The brain is very different. Of course, I'm also worried it will be misused, and we need to prepare as society https://t.co/SErbB9Ux9w

Worryingly, Geoffrey Hinton is "not optimistic" that there's anything that can be done about the growing threat of A.I.

Don't book WestJet. They are really falling apart. Made booking to Japan three days ago. Finally finished all planning and hotel reservations, and WestJet already changed flights. This after my kids delayed 7 days over Christmas. Of course, nothing under their control (ha ha)

Turns out that our publicly-funded health system does not give me access to a family doctor. Luckily, I have a nurse practitioner, though you need also be clear that once you accept this then you can never switch again to a physician or to a location at work that fits better.

What does this even mean. The world has a lot of problems, which include Canada, like health care, poverty, and the climate disaster. It is clear that the current forms of governments around the world are not helpful, and neither is the Canadian, including Mr. Poilievre

Please start talking about what you would do. Concrete actions bit just general statements that you will do everything better. Same for all the other parties.
$1,000 in taxes for every family in Canada. That's how much Trudeau has spent hiring high-priced consultants instead of using public servants.

What would be more useful is to discuss how to make progress. It is amazing how we elect people with general statements and not specific ideas. Saying we fix it dies not fix the problem.
I asked our health leadership partners a straightforward question: are we living up to the example of those on the front lines? I've instructed my team to literally go like hell to make things better. #novascotia #nspoli

If you are a Russian national, how do you cope with a madman like Putin?

It is not Justin Trudeau protecting, it is this government of which Mr Singh is part of.
This year, corporate grocery lined its pockets, while raising your prices. Loblaws: $1.5B Empire: $759M Justin Trudeau continues to protect the profits of big corporations. As Prime Minister, I'll implement a windfall tax to make big grocery chains pay what they owe.
