Would you rather be alone in the woods with a random man or a random bear? I will take the bear (Morning run on the Trans 🇨🇦 Trail, Lac du Bonnet MB. Given the 3 cubs, I turned around and walked calmly away.)

Institutions matter.

So a 45km trail along a ditch is really well used. Nice ditch, Winnipeg

1. I stopped trusting search engines long ago. 2. Their pie is amazing. Especially strawberry pie. And the chocolate peanut butter. And the chocolate. 3. It's all good. You should go sometime. 4. And it's at the end of a good bike trail, perfect excuse for pie.

Updates: Copper Bean Cafe and Nowhere continue to provide excellent coffee. No smoke in Ontario, but then there's Winnipeg

If you ever wanted a clear shot of Kakabeka Falls, today is the day. There is almost no one here

Thunder Bay air quality is improving

34 minutes with a service rep who is required to multitask across several customers at once, and I'm still not entirely sure what price I will be paying. Ugh.

Figuring out the price of internet access across companies hurts my brain. The lack of transparency and the number of footnotes we allow in this industry is absolutely maddening.

I appreciate @trevortombe.bsky.social's POV, but... I tend to take a different starting point on some of this - First, he's right that mechanically, the overall (age 15+) participation rate drops when the pop ages. But it's important to point out that within age groups, people are working more

Just updating our road trip map... just not good.

Checking on 🇨🇦 long-term employment rate trends for older men and women 1976-2026. Older men's employment may have levelled off the past few years, but not clearly the case for older women.

Found a new visitor in my (very smoky) backyard.

Reminded me of this paper from Claudia Goldin - many reasons men and women might not be on the same page when it comes to having kids www.nber.org/papers/w35425

So I love @chapmans.ca. they're a great 🇨🇦 company and make great stuff. And on a 30 degree day I picked up one of our faves. But this is missing several scoops worth of frozen yogurt and I am VERY disappointed. Then I ate a bowl full and felt better, but still disappointed.

I often stop at historical plaques to see how they've framed the "successful" settlers. In Turkey Point? They tried, they failed, they abandoned.

I think that your actions when you see a sign like this can say a lot about the type of person you are. I had no reason to cross, but then really just had to.
