Canada now at 2% of its GDP for spending on our military

 Great news today with Canada achieving spending 2% of our GDP on the military and it will get better and better as we increase the amount that we spend on our military. It is 36 years since we were spending an adequate amount on our military. A great piece of news to start the day for sure. 

Worked on Gedmatch yesterday and picked up a couple of new interesting matches. I should finish my kit today. I want to move on to FT DNA and Living DNA very soon as it would be nice to start writing again full time after the first of April. 

I also did my Income Tax today and will pay that up shortly. I prefer to pay the government so that I do not get all that spam looking to steal my income tax refund. AI is really needed for some of this work although keeping it safe will also be a full time job for sure. It will be somewhat like the introduction of computers into the everyday work routine more than a generation ago now and it doubled the number of people working at that time as it is much more labour intensive than the earlier style. AI will reduce a lot of manual labour putting the onus on people to improve all of their skills in whatever field they are in because there will be a lot of training all along that path of moving into Artificial Intelligence and integrating it into our work week. It will be easier to spot and eliminate intrusions. It will require us to really work our brains to all become teachers in our work life as a computer constantly needs instruction and good review in order to get the best results from it. 

My daughter is needing dental work and I managed to get an appointment with my dentist for review and referral whilst she is with me. It will need a specialist for sure and she has to go under anaesthetic so will do that here. She has asthma and requires caution whenever she needs to go under anaesthetic. Her wisdom teeth were removed at the hospital and I was certainly glad of that as her blood pressure went very low but she rallied under the good care of the nurses.  

A lovely walk outside yesterday although it was pretty cold but much enjoyed. Sadly no skiing the snow is now sufficient for that so a bit of a disappointment but the walking is also very nice. 

Solitaire puzzles completed and onto research.
