Watched the first three episodes of "North of North" last night and quite liked it. I really like that we have another good indigenous led show. You can find on APTN and CBC Gem in Canada. Apparently it will be on Netflix later this year.

Just watched the series finale of Saint-Pierre. Did an "OMG! No! Don't end like that!!" 
Definitely a cliff hanger.
Really enjoyed the entire series.
Love that it's set on Saint-Pierre, that French is at least acknowledged as part of life.
Also appreciate that the women are not all bleached blonde and Boxtox'd, one of the many reasons I detest US programs.
As Annie and Aretha sang, Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves. While men get most of the attention and almost all the investment funds, women are doing the work, founding, running and growing food production companies.

Two observations from this #CBC story about the Royal Canadian Navy’s destroyer procurement:
* The only safe assumption to make about American-made weapons control software is that it has already been backdoored.
* Every shipyard in Canada with a legible set of prints for Flower-class corvettes had better dig them out of the drawer *fast*.

Tim Tierney on #CBC #Ottawa, after voting to continue using Twitter for city communications:
"You don't like Galen Weston, so you're not going to buy anything from Loblaws anymore? Where does this go?"
uh, yeah, that sounds good too Tim.
