This is awesome, so proud to have worked at this company. It is single-handedly modernizing consumer financial services in Canada.

@briangarrett It’s the west end of downtown. Past Trinity bellwoods park.

Heading back into the heart of Toronto to walk around and explore the city today 🚶🏻‍♂️ Enjoying my first time in Canada so far 🇨🇦

@ericjackson @EvanLSolomon @MarkJCarney fyi

Israel loses 22% of its computer science PhDs abroad. They call it a national emergency. The Knesset debates it. Newspapers run it front page. Canada loses 71% of Waterloo's best engineers. Nobody blinks. Nobody even notices! Shrug. Same problem. 4x worse. Zero urgency.

"Don't focus on GDP. It doesnt measure health, trust, freedom, quality of life...." "Ok, lets focus on trends in happiness!" Er, wait...

@zandertoo Love the above push. Just DM-d you.

Hey people of Toronto – I need a co-host for this series!! If you know someone who's interested, tag 'em below (or DM me) 👇 Need to be available as early as next week 🤠

@VihaarNandigala CLAW

We built something a little dangerous for GTM teams. It’s called GTM Claw. A workflow library that turns OpenClaw + Claude Code into a customer-finding machine. Think: • Find people talking about your problem on Reddit, LinkedIn, Twitter • Identify companies showing buying signals • Enrich decision makers automatically • Check ICP fit • Push qualified leads into sequences or your CRM Just continuous discovery of in-market accounts. We’ve been using it internally at Orange Slice to: • scrape LinkedIn reactors on competitors’ posts • detect product complaints on Reddit • identify operators switching companies • surface companies hiring GTM engineers We’re opening GTM Claw in beta. Only 100 users for the next couple months. ~30 spots already filled. If you want access: Comment “CLAW” and follow me so I can dm you the link. Turn Claude Code + Open Claw into a GTM menace. 🦞

@fahdananta Their market cap is lower than Robinhood’s and Coinbase’s and they had more than 2x the headcount than both companies…I think AI was just a convenient excuse for an overdue right-sizing.

From the Square/Block announcement I’m most surprised there were 10K employees in the first place

New piece at the Hub! I drill into the numbers to show that GDP per capita is overstating Canada's quality of life, and a variety of other indicators show that we're falling behind our global peers... fast. We're too complacent, and it's costing us. thehub.ca/2026/02/26/can…

@fazal647 @ninomelikidze @BenArendi @MarkJCarney @EvanLSolomon can you please fix? This situation seems crazy.

@ninomelikidze @BenArendi Applied for SUV 3 years ago. Still don’t have a decision from IRCC. Raised millions, created jobs, grew the business. Our employees are now eligible for PR because they can claim work experience under CEC but I am still on a work permit. If this isn’t a broken system.

Queen @ninomelikidze breaking down 🇨🇦 immigration policy flaws. Entrepreneurs have the answers to most societal problems imo

@CitImmCanada @CitImmCanada What about startup founders and entrepreneurs? Do we have a way to attract those folks? Honest question, no bad intent. I think this category is important.

We’ve announced the 2026 Express Entry categories: bit.ly/46OPiEL Canada is seeking top talent, including: •medical doctors, researchers and senior managers with Canadian work experience •workers with French-language proficiency •health care and social services professionals •tradespersons •educators •professionals in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) occupations •professionals in transport occupations These categories provide clear pathways to permanent residence for top international talent.

Your entire life can really change in a year. You just gotta love yourself enough to know you deserve more, be brave enough to demand more, and be disciplined enough to actually work for more. You can do it. You got this.

@EricDLombardi Love this point: "I also think we should allow the first chunk of lifetime earnings to be tax-free, to allow for greater savings earlier in life. This should also be paired with greater and more flexible benefits for childcare and education."

Policy alone won’t fix Canada’s fertility crisis. But, if policy isn’t child and family friendly to start with, we cannot create space for cultural change. Here are some of the things I believe to be true. 1) Public policy trade offs through the last generation have fallen almost entirely on young people. 2) As a result, young people are in a “Milestone Recession”; Education takes longer, students graduate with more debt (now, even more in Ontario!) , to less competitive job markets and lower income relative to the cost of housing. But taxes are high to support the welfare state; particularly services and programs that benefit retirees. 3) The challenge in getting ahead for young people is delaying financial confidence, homeownership and stable marriage. 4) The above challenges are magnified by a world in which people have become cynical about the future. Geopolitics, technological change, the threat of climate change etc. The outcome is that young people are having fewer kids, later than they want to. So, what can be done? A) We have to fix the housing crisis; and that means the median family can afford 3-4 bedrooms of space by the time they turn 30. This makes it easier for families to live closer to personal networks (many young Canadians cannot afford space near where they grew up!). We also need to dramatically improve urban-housing for families via building code reform. A2) More affordable housing also reduces Rat-race anxiety that really begins in high school, and makes it easier for people to choose careers they find rewarding and not just financially lucrative. This would go some way to making people happier/less stressed. B) We have to get serious in fixing what’s wrong with our economy. A fast growing economy reduces financial uncertainty and gives people optimism about their prospects. C) We need to help young people find financial stability earlier. I believe married couples under 35 and households with children should be allowed to do income splitting. I also think we should allow the first chunk of lifetime earnings to be tax-free, to allow for greater savings earlier in life. This should also be paired with greater and more flexible benefits for childcare and education. D) We need to make public spaces as safe and secure as possible for children; especially in urban centers. Children are an afterthought in many public safety and urban planning debates. Look, there is a lot more to discuss here, and I recognize it is sensitive for many. But we can’t keep kicking the can down the road or pretend that immigration is the panacea solution to fertility and demographic challenges in Canada and Ontario.

@melkuo 🔥🔥🔥

Someone came up to me afterwards and said this speech reminded him of Carney’s Davos speech

@melkuo Voting for a party leader*

@melkuo Curious why the campaign period is so long? Wondering why voting can’t happen earlier?

i've gotten some questions on timing and dates. hopefully this clears it up. i'm new to all this too, so sharing what i learn as i learn.

@liberal_party I know you probably want to trigger an election, but this is exactly the wrong message to send right now. Canadians want unity so we can get shit done. Both parties willing to work together is what’s required now…this is a waste of time.

Pierre Poilievre is all spin and slogans.

@liberal_party This is not the right message to send right now. There should be a show of unity between parties that they are willing to work together. We do not have the luxury of time for politics, things have to get done fast to reverse decline we’ve seen.

Twenty years of divisive politics. Pierre Poilievre. Still the wrong choice.

This is insane…basically create your own open world. Gives me Zelda breath of the wild vibes.
