@JimboStanford @IRPP Thank you for this, Jim! Great analysis and summary!

This is laughably false, she's regurgitating the "Canada is broken" mantra. Canada has among the highest living standards in the world, higher than the US, and our advantage vs the US is growing. My critique of 'per capita GDP' BS for @IRPP provides deets: policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/apri…

@dunne_insights And this is happening while the global automakers are being thrown into more chaos. This shift might accelerate even more!

China is done with global automakers: "Thanks for coming." Global automakers' share of China car market: 2020: 63% 2025: 31% (Q1) Global brands sold 7.6 million fewer cars in China 2024 than they did in 2020. That's a collapse, effondrement, crollo, kollaps, 破綻, 무너지다

@ConsumerSOS Will be in touch shortly! Thx.

Over to you, let's hear some wild predictions... 🫵🔮 #F1

@AaronBastani and @EuroBriefing , brilliant interview on the German economy! Very informative. Thank you both!

@historyinmemes Apocalypse Now!

What’s the best film of all time?

Always a pleasure chatting with you, Greg!

A few thoughts about the EV market in Canada! theglobeandmail.com/drive/culture/…

@StephenWickens1 @Metrolinx @crosslinx What a disgrace! And the head honcho keeps raking in almost a million bucks every single year!

As of today, Nov. 9, we have officially begun the 14th year of Eglinton Crosstown construction. Happy anniversary, @Metrolinx! Congratulations @Crosslinx!

@theaaronbinder @grumpyscorates @GOtransit @TheAGH Sorry to hear about what happened but I find it naive that you are looking for accountability. Had we had that, we would have had the Eglinton LRT running… since 2021! Sad state of affairs.

@grumpyscorates @GOtransit @TheAGH Cost isn't an issue - things working the way they're supposed to is the issue. I've heard from multiple folks now that this is common on this GO route. There needs to be accountability.

I got stranded in Hamilton last night by @GOtransit. After a 😎 evening at @TheAGH with Tourism colleagues, I waited at King/Caroline & watched the last (1:03am) bus to Union blow past w/o slowing down. @GOtransit - where can I send the $230 hotel bill for reimbursement? 👇👇

An amazing conversation with the wordsmith @PetrinaGentile about the Canadian automotive market.

@PetrinaGentile @globedrive Anytime, Petrina! Always a pleasure speaking with you.

@globedrive Thanks @BarisAk for your insights!

Car prices are coming down, especially for EVs, as inventory rises theglobeandmail.com/drive/article-…

@TweeetLorraine Sorry to hear, Lorraine! :( Hope you are doing alright.

@AprilEngelberg But it would take 15 years to build it! :(

Build the bridge! We could bike to the islands in less time than it takes to wait for a ferry. Public parks should be freely accessible to the public. It's a 250 meter bridge. #TOpoli

@ScrinkoCa The impact of the cut will resonate more on a psychological level than in actual monetary terms IMO. The worst seems to be behind us; rates have peaked and are now easing, which promises relief not just for the real estate market but for consumer spending overall. My 2 cents!

sentiment is garbage right now if no cut, will be a long brutally slow summer even if cut, 416 precon is dead for at least 3-5 yrs imo look at resale price per sqft in the entertainment district for example Zero change since 2020 Inflation adjusted since 2018 construction cost has what, doubled since then?

@glynbowerman While the top dog makes almost a million bucks a year… for the last 5 years!!! Accountability? Honour? None of that. Embarrassing!

@MattP1Gallagher It’s not the track it’s the cars. They are too wide and long for overtaking! They need to shrink big time!

Would you remove Monaco from the F1 calendar?
