What Ackerman Saw, And Why It’s All Happening Now In 2005, Bruce Ackerman tried to warn us. Not with hysteria. Not with headlines. With structure. What he saw was a rising force—not a fringe group or conspiracy cult—but a consequence. Of exclusion. Of design failure. Of a
Carney’s Liberals Aren’t Offering a Future, They’re Managing a Decline Nora Loreto didn’t drop a take. She dropped the entire operating diagnosis in one line: “They’re just doing late-stage capitalism, harder.” This moment is SO FULL of possibilities right now and its absolutely enraging that
Most People Want the Point. You Want the Meaning. They flip to the last page. Scan the headline. Jot the bullet points. Grab the quote that sounds smart enough to post. The modern reader isn’t reading, they’re extracting. Speed over depth. Summary over structure. Point over meaning. But

From Strategy Decks to Strategic Infrastructure Strategy, for too long, has been theatre. Aesthetically intelligent. Linguistically clever. Digitally clean. And commercially irrelevant. Subscribe Slide decks masquerading as vision. Whiteboards filled with buzzwords. LinkedIn threads that generate applause, but not alignment. We’ve made strategy safe. And in doing so, we’
Ambushed by the Memory of Pain I heard a story in a pain clinic yesterday that struck me profoundly. Deeply. Affected my thinking in a way that shifted perspective. Gave me a window into someone else's world, that was vastly more challenging than my own, which, like yours,
The Conservative Illusion in Three Words There’s a strange clarity to satire when it lands too close to the truth. This morning, I read Nora Loreto describing Pierre Poilievre—the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada—as a man who has “never worn boots.” It was said as
A Sovereign Arbitrage Hidden in Every Canadian Home For all Canadians, The Rot We Refuse To Measure Canada doesn’t have an energy crisis. We have an energy leak. Subscribe For decades, we’ve trained our eyes on the grid. We’ve measured demand. We’ve modelled supply. We’ve
