@JCCFCanada Justice delayed, justice denied. (This is such an obvious ruling it should have taken a day to sort out.)

🚨BREAKING NEWS In a major win for civil liberties, the Nova Scotia Supreme Court quashed the province’s 2025 “travel ban” on entering the woods, ruling that the government acted unreasonably and failed to properly consider Charter rights. More information to follow.

Don't think this can work. But if it does work, it only works for the USA🇺🇸 (which has the dominant AI companies theoretically able to pay for this). In Canada🇨🇦, we'll have AI taking everyone's jobs. But @Shopify alone will not be able to pay for everyone to live.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

"If you’re not doing marketing, much less tracking results and adapting campaigns, it’s probably too early to spend your first dollar on PR," says me, your friendly neighborhood #PR pro. But why? Well, read on... techstartupnetwork.co/13-pr-experts-…

Are your #marketing getting the results you hoped for? #AI searches prioritize earned media, which means #PR can help you reach your target audience. mindmeldpr.com/post/why-pr-ne…

@melkuo Because this strategy worked so darn well for so many years in East Germany.

YOU HEARD IT FROM MELKUO FIRST

@MarcNixon24 If only this were true.

Canada HAS GONE INSANE Trump supporters anti-VAXXERS anti-abortion trucker convoy supporters Science Deniers anti-gender conversion therapy All welcome to the Liberal Party. Now the conservatives have nothing. We have become THIER PARTY

@MarkJCarney So... communism. Got it.

Solidarity, inclusivity, and equality. That’s what our Liberal Party stands for.

@TristinHopper There is precedent for this kind of approach. But what worked in conquered Nazi Germany probably wouldn't work in Gaza, or Canada. The people are just too indoctrinated. ushmm.org/online-calenda…

@TristinHopper After October 7, I figured you could do something similar with the Gazan people after the war ended. Show them the go-pro camera footage from the attack, to try to de-radicalize the population. But then I realized they'd ask for popcorn. Might be the same in this case.

If I could, I would force the author of this and every other academic responsible for our civic anarchy to witness all of the carnage they've enabled. We lock them in a room and show them violent image after violent image until they're never the same. theconversation.com/policing-the-g…

I can't believe this is real and official. (Of course it is. But jeeeeez.)

Every time someone says "Woke is dead!", Canada has vowed to add one character to the oppression alphabet. We're currently at "MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+" The new letters "MMIWG" stand for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

@mario4thenorth We could put a stop to all of it with a simple question that doesn't rely on whether their asylum story is true or not. "Was Canada the nearest country you could have fled to?" No? Okay, think we're done here.

🚨 BREAKING Canadian immigration officers are EXPLICITLY instructed NOT TO EVALUATE whether asylum stories are true. Canada’s asylum approval rate: 80% Sweden: 40% Ireland: 30% And internal IRCC documents prove it. AI-generated fake stories. Fake documents. And NO questions allowed. The developed world rejects more than half of asylum claims & we accept 80%. We’re being played.

@mysteriouskat It seems like X leans right because the lefties fled to Bluesky (loudly announcing their move at the time). X is New York City (diversity + freedom + strangers arguing on the street). Bluesky is Chinatown (monoculture, nice to visit but it is what it is.) x.com/zackbeauchamp/…

The question is WHY are these types of voices the ones that are most amplified/popular on this platform? Is it a platform problem or a people problem?

The blockbuster movie will be called Heartbeat. It writes itself. nypost.com/2026/04/07/us-…

@elie_mcn Or we could save a whole lot of time, money and effort. Turns out we solved this problem centuries ago. Here you go @liberal_party en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Liberty

🚨 NEW – A proposition that will be debated and voted on at the Liberal Party of Canada's 2026 AGM will aim to "establish a panel of inquiry" to combat "disinformation and misinformation." Do you think Canadians will support this?

@theMRC To be fair, there are only about 5 right-leaning media sites in existence. And the ratio of left vs. right-leaning working journalists is about the same.

🚨 BREAKING: Apple News promoted 434 top stories from left-leaning sites in March, and only 5 from right-leaning sites. Apple News is a megaphone for the leftist media. mrcfreespeechamerica.org/blogs/free-spe…

Whoever these people are, they like the idea of being culturally European (which we already are). Which has almost nothing to do with being in the EU. They're not going to like when we're part of Schengen and 3 million recently-arrived 3rd-worlders move to Toronto.

I come across SO many people. They're in my inner circle, semi-inner circle, outer circle, at the gym, fellow parents, people who text the show - I've never had one interaction, let alone conversation (not one - not this year, not last year, not at thousands of Ajax doors), where someone even mildly opined "Canada should join the European Union". Not the most sane person, not the most loony person, not the person that is indifferent to Trump, not the person who despises Trump & can't focus on a single other important thing. I've not had one 10 second convo w/ anyone about Canada joining the EU. So I have no idea who these people are.....deadly serious.

"They've pivoted so many times in their business ventures and social media stunts and it seems like nothing's working," says Jonathon Narvey from @MindMeldPR (hey, that's me!). Actually, I think Meghan and Harry's solution could be to just... sit in their basement. Just for a little while. aol.com/prince-harry-m…

@TristinHopper This could actually work.

Since cynical identity politics are in vogue now, I present this deeply Machiavellian strategy for Conservatives to win the next election: Actively piss off Quebec as much as humanly possible. Declare they don't speak "real" French. Say Vermont maple syrup is better. Convince half the Montreal Canadiens to get "I HEART GENERAL WOLFE" tattoos. Bloc majoritaire. Liberals lose all their Quebec seats. Conservative government.

💡 Public relations pro's are not journalists. (We talk to them. But we are not them.) This might seems obvious to you. I guarantee, it's not obvious to a lot of CEOs and even some seasoned VPs of #Marketing. How do I know? I do a lot of sales calls every month for @MindMeldPR We run through the client's business objectives, their marketing and PR objectives, see how that aligns with our process and results, etc. Typical sales call stuff. In at least 25 percent of these calls, the person in the company that says they want #PR services gives me this line: ❓ "So... just to clarify, you write articles and then the news outlets just publish that, right?" 🤔 Well, no. That's paid media. Advertorials. Basically, advertising with a disclaimer somewhere at the top or bottom saying that this is not news. Sponsored content, paid content, advertorial, etc. That's what that is. (BTW, sponsored content isn't always bad. We absolutely have helped some PR clients with writing thought leadership pieces and getting them published. No problem. But that's not typically what we do all day long.) What do we do, if we don't focus on paid media? Our PR pro's reach out to actual reporters in top mainstream news media (eg. newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, podcasts, etc.) and niche trade publications and everything in between. We don't typically send a finished article. What we send is a pitch. A really good idea, with some proof to back it up, targeted to that particular reporter, so that they will create a news story about our client. This PR effort requires an in-depth understanding of your business and industry and the stories we can tell about it. Good PR requires top-notch writing skills and creativity. It requires data-driven targeting and customization. And it requires persistence. Sometimes, a pitch doesn't get picked up until the 2nd or 3rd time you bug a reporter (and that's a critical skill in itself: being seen as helpful and not annoying as you reconnect each time).

"We've already tried government-run grocery stores. It doesn't work," says me. "No! True government-run grocery stories have never been tried!" say people who are blissfully, tragically ignorant. youtu.be/FdkpWrlR5zg?si…

Vancouver should do the same.
