Yes, it would be nice to have more inside story than what we go in that article. #Macleans used to do good campaign retrospectives, but I don't know if they still do.

As usual, you and I saw a very different #CPC campaign for some reason. Based on what I heard on #CBCradio, read in the newspaper, and saw on Twitter, the campaign was almost entirely about quality of life: housing costs, crime, lack of growth, inflation. You think it was all about culture wars and "anti-woke".

Jenni Byrne's Big Gamble

This article makes #JenniByrne sound awesome. Not flawless, not necessarily the woman for the hour, but a really impressive political operator.

(She was right in 2015 too: the #CPC ought to have concentrated their fire on the Liberals, not the NDP.)

Ballpoint: a Tale of Genius and Grit, Perilous Times, and the Invention That Changed the Way We Write ✍️
By György Moldova

I’m a fan of “Object History” following everyday things and social changes through the development of technologies — like my own #AccordionRevolution

So this history of the development and financing of the first successful #BallpointPen was like a beach book 🏖️ that I took on the train to visit my parents 😎

This list of the 20 best places in #Canada to eat offers such an eclectic tour of the country’s very varied cuisine from one of the country’s best food critics (#ChrisNuttallSmith)

A great read that is definitely not your usual #restaurant ranking!
