@BradMBradford Ok Grandpa let’s get you back to bed.

A business leader, community champion, and one of the longest-serving Senators in Canadian history, Jerry Grafstein knows the incredible potential our city has - we just need to unlock it. Honoured to welcome Senator Grafstein to the team!

@LKEMLLR @1800ghostman He has ability to post in clever manner and you don’t. Good point.

@1800ghostman He writes his clever post from a smartphone filled with shit mined out of the global south and posts it on Twitter. Ah he thinks. This will really change the minds of the petit bourgeois.

Canadians be like “are you enjoying your dividends from the mining and exploitation of the global south?”

@not_ellington @Leisure_TimeTV no is mainly white corporate america

@Leisure_TimeTV Literally no one likes AI except this weird circle jerk echo chamber of indians and asians on twitter

Shocker. Graduates dont love AI as much as the boomers using it to replace their jobs.

@VinLeafs @jackhauen You don’t have to be a racist dumbass. Besides, it’s Ford who is selling out your province.

@jackhauen The pube faced guy in the pic and ford belong to the Khalistani terrorist biker gang. Heavy unaccounted cash is given to Ford’s party. Ford is completely bought out and working against the interests of Canadians.

New: The Ford government is refusing to say how much taxpayer money Metrolinx gave a development group that includes a close friend of the premier, over air rights the group didn't own. The transportation minister said that's "private." #onpoli thetrillium.ca/news/governmen…

@BugofWeek @globeandmail Shut up dork.

@globeandmail 95% of my bank dealings are with a bank that I have never walked into a branch. Get over it. Those days are gone.

@buildwithbob @johnnycakes91 @ctvottawa Your profile picture is indicative of deep insecurity. A digital dunce cap.

Watch. Trumper Ford's tantrum after Marit Stiles allegedly suggests a strip club owner that received $10 million dollars from Piccini's $2.5 billion Skills Development Fund delivered hot dogs at Ford's barbecue.

NEW, by @jessiecatherine: The Ford government's weakening of the province's freedom of information regime cut off access to hundreds of records about the Greenbelt scandal, just as they were about to be released to @TheTrilliumca. thetrillium.ca/news/the-trill…

@1800ghostman They are controlled opposition and will float another Humpty Dumpty candidate or developer astroturfer.

This is so funny. The liberals only poll well as a vaguely anti-Ford concept. Once they get a guy in there that everyone fucking hates, things will correct to ensure the Ford Reich continues. Maybe they should just keep going without a leader? Is that allowed?

@throwaway19832 @acechhh brother who runs the healthcare system, who is in charge.

@acechhh did the indians take it all home to their 8 kids?

working in healthcare in Ontario is crazy because yesterday morning in shift report our PPS had to tell us to cut down on giving ginger ale to patients. I love living in Doug Ford’s big beautiful province

@siomoCTV @l_stone Reciepts please. This is not journalism until the register and sales details are included.

NEW: In conversation with the Globe and Mail's @l_stone , Premier Doug Ford says THE jet has been "sold" back to Bombardier for the same price it was purchased for ($28.9M)

I’m sorry but the corruption in Ontario is an absurdity at this point. The fact that so many Ontario voters will remember Rae Days and Kathleen Wynne until they die while turning a blind eye to Ford’s blatant, repeated, documented mismanagement of funds is fucking cartoonish

An Ontario court has ruled that Premier Doug Ford must release logs of government-related calls made on his personal phone, affirming that such records are subject to freedom of information laws. As far as I’m concerned, @fordnation not handing over his cell phone records is breaking the law and he should be arrested immediately. Changing important laws like the freedom of information act should be illegal and henceforth not possible. Governments have to be transparent and accountable at all times. Without checks and balances governments can do whatever they damn well please without fear of legal repercussions. Making any changes retroactive shouldn’t even be allowed to begin with. Bypassing public hearings on any important legislation should also be illegal. #DougFord and everyone else involved in his corrupt activities need to be held accountable. #onpoli #Ontario #Canada #FOI

NEW: The Ontario government has purchased a used $28.9 million private jet for the use of Premier Doug Ford, the @TorontoStar has learned. The 2016 Bombardier Challenger 650 was delivered this week. thestar.com/politics/provi…

Weston family is buying-up malls to choke mall rental competition and drive up prices in other retails sectors, just like they did in food

@CTVSteveMurphy @CTVAtlantic Aren’t you supposed to be retired?

Murphy’s Logic: Byelections produce a majority government, fine. But voters should also have a say on floor-crossings. ⁦@CTVAtlantic⁩ ctvnews.ca/atlantic/video…

@joeyhofmeister1 @AIHighlight Sir that’s what a moron would say.

@AIHighlight What's likely being missed is that laid off workers likely learn how to use AI to optimize their productivity and then go get a job somewhere else or build their own thing.

🚨BREAKING: Two researchers from UPenn and Boston University just published a paper that should be uncomfortable reading for every CEO automating their workforce right now. The argument is straightforward. Every company replacing workers with AI is also eliminating its own future customers. Laid off workers stop spending. Enough of them stop spending and nobody can afford to buy anything. The companies that fired everyone end up selling into an economy with no purchasing power left. Every executive can see this. The math is not complicated. But here is why nobody stops. If you do not automate, your competitor does. They cut costs, lower prices, take your market share, and you collapse anyway. So every company automates knowing it is collectively destructive because the alternative is dying alone while everyone else survives. The researchers proved this is a Prisoner's Dilemma playing out in real time. The numbers are already moving. Block cut nearly half its 10,000 employees this year. Jack Dorsey said AI made those roles unnecessary and that within the next year the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion. Salesforce replaced 4,000 customer support agents with AI. Goldman Sachs deployed a coding tool that lets one engineer do the work of five. Over 100,000 tech workers were laid off in 2025 and AI was cited as the primary driver in more than half those cases. 80% of US workers hold jobs with tasks susceptible to AI automation. The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income does not change a single company's incentive to automate. Capital income taxes adjust profit levels but not the per-task decision to replace a human. Collective bargaining cannot hold because automating is always the dominant strategy. They also identified what they call a Red Queen effect. Better AI does not solve the problem, it accelerates it. Every company chases faster automation to gain market share over rivals but at the end everyone has automated equally, the gains cancel out, and the only thing left is more destroyed demand. The one thing the math says could work is a Pigouvian automation tax. A per-task charge that forces companies to account for the demand they destroy each time they replace a worker. The conclusion is that this is not a transfer of wealth from workers to owners. Both sides lose. Workers lose income. Companies lose customers. It is a deadweight loss with no market mechanism to stop it on its own.

@just_Benie @DonDavies Why don’t we ban the practice? Why should different ppl pay different prices based on PI data?

@DonDavies That’s quite the proposal, why don’t name these corporations? Back up your claims with data and evidence? Should we get rid of insurance?

Today I proposed banning "surveillance pricing" — a creepy practice where corporations weaponize your personal data to rip you off. Deeply disappointed the motion was rejected. Canadians are already being crushed by sky-high costs. They deserve relief, not corporate exploitation.

@bbgaleni7777 @AndieWinnipeg @NDP Sir that’s moronic.

@AndieWinnipeg @NDP The smart people do the work and shop around … NDP wants to make it easy for the lazy people

Congratulations to the @NDP for getting multiple Canadian politicians on the record saying they support companies charging people different prices for the same product.

this guy is actually a cancer to society
