  1. A downtown casino is usually a desperate act of a failing city: not an image #Ottawa wants to cultivate. Cc @jimwatsonottawa 7:16 PM May 24th via Twitter for Android
  2. Does the sputtering out of the Facebook IPO mean that investors have finally gotten smarter, or just that they're still a bit sullen? 9:51 AM May 19th via Twitter for Android
  3. @timoreilly this is a favorite topic of move. Traffic analysis was hugely important during the world wars. Lots of dummy traffic, too. 3:49 AM May 14th via Twitter for Android in reply to timoreilly
  4. @simonstl good story, but hedges too broad to restrict, eg I cd buy bonds in US$ to hedge vs volatility in in the CA$ value of my house. 7:21 PM May 10th via Twitter for Android in reply to simonstl
  5. @navcanada @MikeThorntonCA London FIC is my favorite - low wait times, excellent weather briefings, friendly specialists. 7:33 AM May 9th via Twitter for Android in reply to navcanada
  6. @daeaves The ICAO codes are better for open data (better coverage, no duplication), so CYVR-CYYZ. :-) 7:30 AM May 9th via Twitter for Android in reply to daeaves
  7. @DougSaunders no surprise there -- Chrétien, not Mulroney, finally slayed the Canadian deficit (for a time). Easier to cut from the left. 2:20 PM May 6th via web in reply to DougSaunders
  8. @tedhsu I know it's not a common POV, but I think I get reasonable value for my tax dollars. GoC cd always do better, of course. #cdnpoli 11:39 AM May 1st via Twitter for Android in reply to tedhsu
  9. @walterrobinson too dangerous for democracy - @pmharper already abuses libel law to silence non-parliamentary critics. #cdnpoli 11:36 AM May 1st via Twitter for Android in reply to walterrobinson
  10. @ndw It's because you're a coder, Norm. Matching parens is hardwired into your brain (unless you do Python, of course). 1:54 PM Apr 25th via Twitter for Android in reply to ndw
  11. Why did @acoyne's column disappear overnight from news websites? plus.google.com/10121785988952… 6:14 AM Apr 24th via web
  12. @timoreilly trolls like i4i have been operating from #Canada for years, to our national shame. 4:22 PM Apr 23rd via Twitter for Android in reply to timoreilly
