I lost my sister suddenly 2 days before Christmas in 2008. The joy came back — after a fair amount of therapy and contemplation — and over time, life grew around the gaping hole.

A couple of quotes that I keep near me:

Yet, in a bizarre, backwards way, death is the light by which the shadow of all of life’s meaning is measured. Without death, everything would feel inconsequential, all experience arbitrary, all metrics and values suddenly zero.

Mark Manson

When you dull pain and hide it from yourself, you dull your joys as well.

All the best for this holiday season, and all the ones that follow.

I've long argued that it should be illegal for incumbents to sell retail connections for less than wholesale prices, but here we are

Heard that rumour, too, but it remains to be seen. I'm holding out hope

I have a love-hate relationship with Canadaland, but will fully acknowledge that their series on monopolies in Canada was excellent: https://www.canadaland.com/podcast/introducing-the-new-season-monopoly/

Given what Distributel and VMedia are quoted as saying, this decision appears positive on the face of it

I've been with Teksavvy for nearly 15 years. This is a sad, sad day.
