Ok this is a hill I will die on: the perfect career is Kyle Lowry.
You get the experience of being a superstar, but you aren't so iconic that you can't exist in public. Beloved in a single city. Unknown in most of the world. Won a title. Won a gold medal. Made money. Did it all.

Tobias Harris has made $277 million dollars while getting to fly under the radar. Never good enough to have any expectations as a franchise player, but never bad enough to be out of a rotation. Literally the perfect career.

A few years ago, four guys from Montreal sent me a late-night video asking if they should move their brand to @Shopify. I sent a video back and connected them to our team.
Since then I've personally delivered their 10K and 1M order Milestones.
Last weekend they opened their first physical store here in Montreal. Started online. Scaled it digitally. Now meeting their customers in person.
Congrats @ManMade_Brand, this is just the beginning.

@adudefromTO @CP24 It was targeted due to a spat at the dog park when the shooter let his off-leash dog run amok and go after other people's dogs. That's literally what this stemmed from (and that was months ago).

@harleyf @BigShotPodcast Harley, you’re true to your values, unapologetically. As a Jew in the diaspora, with kids trying to navigate this crazy world, I’m so grateful for leaders like you. Shabbat shalom. Excited to listen to this ep this weekend.

@jamesr824 Comments like this are precisely why @BigShotPodcast is so important to me.

If you know the shmatta business, you should know Joseph Schaffer.
The godfather. He shaped the North American shmatta industry.
Came to Canada from Poland in the 1930s. Started with $1,800. Built billions.
Bought a Rolls-Royce for one reason. To show other Jewish immigrants what was possible.
I didn’t have posters on my wall as a kid.
If I did, it would’ve been Joe.
104 years old. Still the standard.
Sat with him on @BigShotPodcast
From my family to yours, Shabbat Shalom.

@mickeysplasht @Cmdr_Hadfield How does the crew train for that phase of intense heat + G- Forces? Even with training, do you anticipate they are nervous/scared for this phase?

Hey @Cmdr_Hadfield! Does it get warmer inside a vehicle re-entering Earth’s atmosphere?

@ShaziGoalie The math still doesn’t math. If it’s a capital cost of $577mm, and saves the city $6.5mm per year, is this retrofit really going to last over 88 years to make it worthwhile?

@HusKerrs Dad of of 3 young boys here.
It’s a totally new world where everything will feel a bit foreign. So as you hit those patches of discomfort, just try to keep in mind - and may seem simple enough - take everything one day at a time.

@makerz_king @MHTruthUltra Jesus she is pure click bait (it works). Tell it to apple, Nvidia, Google. They all’s spend on Israel and their elite engineering
English

Israel 'produces nothing'?
Tell that to Intel, whose most advanced processors are designed in Israel.
Tell that to Mobileye (autonomous driving tech in millions of cars).
Tell that to Check Point, Waze, Teva Pharma, and the cybersecurity tools protecting U.S. banks and the Pentagon.
Israel leads the world in patents per capita, drip irrigation that feeds millions, and medical breakthroughs.
Iran produces oil, yes — and also Hezbollah rockets, Houthis attacking shipping, Hamas tunnels, and weekly 'Death to America' rallies.
One is an actual high-tech ally that shares intel and innovation.
The other funds proxies that kill Americans.
Pick your 'better ally' with facts, not slogans.

Hey @cityoftoronto and @MayorOliviaChow - if the cost of the street lights swap is $577mm to save $6.5mm per year, are the new lights going to last 80+ years? Assuming not…If not , than prob not the most pressing infrastructure initiative @CBCToronto @CTVToronto

@markrmcqueen Is this a good set of charges? We need to really drop the hammer on these guys so the rest get discouraged from replicating these heineous acts

@iSlutsky @MayorOliviaChow I read a good 10 responses you got here and I can’t understand most of them. But also must just be bots? Back to reality, @MayorOliviaChow it’s kinda hard to hide from the antisemitism issue in TO right now.
English

Hey @MayorOliviaChow. Shots fired at a Jewish-owned restaurant in Toronto is not just another incident, but it’s targeted intimidation and violence. This is happening to our businesses and places of worship. What are you doing? Our once great city is falling apart. Toronto needs real leadership, and a real mayor.

Hey @globeandmail my dad in Windsor ON rarely gets his paper delivered right to his door. Always on the street, neighbours driveway, etc. Sort of a running family joke at this point. But honestly…unprofessional.

@alanfryermedia @ezralevant This march should be cancelled, for obviius reasons ….
English

The attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan is horrifying. My thoughts are with the congregation and all who are shaken by this act of antisemitic violence. I am continuing to closely monitor the situation. Out of an abundance of caution, the NYPD will continue to deploy high-visibility patrols to Jewish religious and cultural institutions across the five boroughs.
English

@CP24 Not sure what needs to be true for @MayorOliviaChow to cancel this rally. Reaching a new low. how much more violence do you need to see before we can finally take a firmer approach against these violent actors. @BradMBradford is clearly correct here.

@fordnation @MichelleCooper Glad you visited. It really means a lot. But Al Quds day needs to be cancelled. This year. And permanently. Please don’t enable such a hateful platform. Our community needs to stabilize
English

Today, I visited the Shaarei Shomayim Synagogue with local MPP @michellecooper after the recent targeted shooting, which was designed to intimidate our Jewish community.
No one should ever fear for their safety when gathering in their place of worship. We’ll continue working with police and community leaders to protect our communities and hold those responsible accountable.

@canadianaco @NoLore Had the same though. This shouldn’t be controversial

Fuck the NDP so hard. Thiw nees to be condemned by party activists who think there's any hope in hell of the party being a vehicle for progressive social change.
