Weekly roundup

A sampling of the interesting stories I read this week.

Happy Hour: A few nanolitres short of a shot from National Post via Heather

Are ‘smart cities’ not as smart as they think they are? from Grist

Friday Fun: Binoculars, funfairs, KCNA fail, pizza, dicso at North Korea Economy Watch

Toronto’s backward on public housing from The Globe and Mail

Globally credible GHG policy would help, not hurt, the oilsands from @nree_alberta @andrew_leach Updated handle

From the editors: Canada's strategic defence initiative from Canadian Business magazine

And some good tweets.

This is the problem with politics in this country: if you just throw everything at the wall to see if it sticks, you lose all credibility.
