Watching the livestream of the Artemis II launch, I just witnessed one of the astronauts type in the password on their tablet while sitting in the capsule on camera.

A local butter company is running into a legislative barrier. There's a two-tier system in Ontario. Small producers can sell direct to consumers, but not through retail or wholesale channels. the next step up requires a full industrial facility costing millions of dollars, and is only suited to large volume operations.

The Lofty Butter Company (https://loftybutter.ca/) is within 100km of me, makes wonderful butter, but if I want some, I have to drive for the better part of an hour round trip, and unless I have another reason to do that, it ain't happening until I have an EV.

So there's now a petition to see if we can get our provincial government to make it a little easier for the small businesses that they claim are the engine of our economy. If you're in Ontario, check it out: https://c.org/hVLt9fBTkD

Nowhere is safe from the wrath of a Canada goose — not even this Ontario campus
Last week, a Canada goose found its way into a building at Wilfrid Laurier University's Waterloo, Ont., campus and was captured by several witnesses on video trying to fly away, causing students to run for cover. The goose's capers went viral on social media.
