   'Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney says he will abandon his party's consumer carbon tax and replace the policy with an incentive program that rewards Canadians for making green choices.

   He also said that he would work with other like-minded countries to introduce a carbon border adjustment, effectively a tariff, that would ensure countries with weaker climate change policies face financial barriers when they try to export products to Canada.

   In making the announcement, Carney took aim at U.S. President Donald Trump for his withdrawal from the climate policies of his predecessors, as well as his attacks on Canada, saying that while Trump steps back from the climate change fight, he will step up.'

   29 years ago today, a little book about the Internet was released in Canada.

   In 3 weeks, it was a #1 national bestseller and my life forever changed. I went on to co-author 34 books about the Internet in a 7-year time span and sold over a million books.

   You never know when the magic of lightning is going to strike you!

   By the time the book was released, I had already been online for 11 years. People were trying to understand what it all meant - and I quickly developed a career on stage explaining it in a way that made sense. Today, I continue to do that, albeit in the broader context of the future; this little book led to a career where I'm represented by the same speaking agents as Barack and Michelle Obama, among others. I've had audiences of 10,000+ in Las Vegas, and have traveled the world sharing my insight. NASA has had me in (twice) to talk to a room full of astronauts about ... the future.

   It all began when I got online in 1982 and then wrote a little book that came out on this day, March 5, 1994.

   Magic. Lightning. It's always possible!

   It's a hell of a story. You can read it here.
