Assorted Notes - 26 May 2021

I'm watching Ottawa City Council on YouTube as I start this entry. Here's the expected agenda.

Among other things going on...

Grand theft sea cucumber in Sri Lanka. This goes to the topics of organized crime and food security.

We have one particular anti-mask/anti-vaccine troublemaker getting more infamous by the hour. You'll forgive my not naming either of his names, I trust.

Wayne Gretzky is leaving the front office of the Edmonton Oilers for Turner Sports.

Media ownership concentration continues to worsen because Amazon buying MGM, Alden Capital Group acquiring Tribune Publishing, and other instances.

An item from the University of Waterloo on paid sick leave. Noting multiple private-sector employers and provincial and state governments now worried that workers will use such sick leave in a proper and responsible manner if they get it...including the Ford regime.

More stuff of interest later today...

A political observation

I watched Ottawa City Council for seven hours or so on YouTube today. Not the only thing I did on-line, but it was important.

And if city councillors are capable of pulling Bart Simpson-like "I didn't do it, nobody saw me, you can't prove it" crap, I think I saw one try it today.
