  • "I had to present some of those facts that Crown Royal is proudly made-in-Manitoba whisky. It’s Canada’s number 1 export spirit,

    Crown Royal is distilled in Diageo’s plant in Gimli, Man., but U.K.-based Diageo — which owns the Crown Royal brand — announced last year it was closing down the factory that bottles the whisky in Amherstburg, Ont., prompting Ford’s threat to take the liquor off Ontario’s shelves.

    • Kazuo Ishiguro - The Unconsoled

    I’ve read most of his books, but this was the most magical for me. Knowing nothing about it was important, and it gave me a feeling of unease almost from the beginning.

    If coding was the bottleneck, there was something badly wrong and AI is not the solution.
