Hi @M_feeney I'm a journalist in Canada writing about drones and border security. I thought your Cato Insititute piece from 2018 was great; hope you can talk by this afternoon Eastern time on the same topic? I'm at adammcdowellto at gmail dot com if so -- thanks!

American conservatism just doesn’t appeal to me because I’m not scared of everything.. not scared of immigrants, crime, using public transportation, cities. I’m interested in other people and like talking to them. Even if someone is weird it doesn’t really bother me.

(whispers) nobody "removes a traffic lane" to build a bike lane, bike lanes are also traffic lanes because cyclists are also road users, we're just much more efficient users of urban space

Would absolutely love to report the recently killed raccoon on my street using the @311Toronto app but NO, you don't need my GPS to do it and the app shouldn't require it (and it's not accepting the nearby address or intersection manually.)

I'm literally pregnant with a child that would not exist if this childcare program didn't come into effect. We simply could not afford to have a second child. We were budgeting for >$2k a month per child and now pay more like $500. It's a life-changing program & needs expansion
Vass Bednar@VassB

When I found out how much we would be paying for childcare in downtown Toronto, I felt verklempt for a second but tried to play it cool. The price was 1/3 of what I had budgeted. We currently pay ~$940 (still a chunk of change) and I look forward to 🇨🇦 expanding space, access.

Sounds like the perfect place to build an attraction dependent on a new 2,000-space parking garage, and to relocate another that depends on convenient access for school buses.

Jamie’s experience mirrors mine leaving Bud Stage many times or the 1.5 hours it took to get home from Pearson the other day. Toronto traffic is ridiculous and absurd. What is the worst part of the city or highway in your experience?

@vona_robert hey there, I'm also a journalist in Toronto and wondering if we might collaborate on something. (Reaching out after reading your great piece on sports betting in the Eyeopener.) Please DM me to learn more!

@David_Moscrop Calgary. It's big enough, not already a capital city, and its selection might help defuse Western alienation (not to mention fostering French-speaking in a new place)

If Canada were to choose a capital city in 2024, which city would we choose?

@jm_mcgrath Yeah, buckle up! At 46, I don't think I've aged visibly too much in the last few years, but my cholesterol and blood sugar results tell a different story

What are your five favorite Mr Show sketches? Mine are, more or less: FF Woodycooks Ice Cream Precinct, two old friends saying goodbye forever, No Adults Allowed, Pre-Taped Call-in Show, and The Joke: The Musical.

I’m thinking of starting a “vintage” clothing shop that only sells corporate merch from failed startups and businesses. Need a name. Free tee shirt emoji to the best.
