You may know, and this is a great thing, that today, earlier today, a Canadian writer, Canadian Anne Carson, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, and well done by her.
And there is some suggestion, some speculation that Mark Carney, who's not yet been in office for two years, could win this as Barack Obama did in 2009, just after he came to office.
Obama himself said he was a little embarrassed at winning the prize then because he'd just gotten office and given some wonderful speeches about unification and change and hope.
But it may be premature for our prime minister because, well, he has given some important speeches.
And while he certainly many Canadians, according to polls, view him as standing up to Donald Trump.
He hasn't negotiated a global peace agreement yet, which is sometimes a qualifying element of the peace prize.
Those of us old enough to remember the Time magazine with the cover on it of the person, the cover of the person of the year, know that that's a prestigious prize.
It would be wonderful if they just focused on making technology safer and more accessible and better.
But tech bros, what have they done now? Well, Elon Musk, the big bro of the tech bros, yesterday on his social media platform, Xbox, tweeted that Quebec should separate along with Alberta and Saskatchewan.
