We are reducing taxes and fees for new homes in Ontario by up to $200,000. Premier @fordnation and I just announced a new partnership to lower costly development charges, cut taxes on new homes across the province, and build more transit infrastructure to reduce commute times.

Excited to announce United Builders 🌐 🟢 A microgrant program backing ambitious young builders with up to $1,000 + community. Software, hardware, creative projects, all welcome. Every founder I know has someone who bet on them before they were ready. That early belief changes everything. We call it Belief Capital. What shifts a young person's trajectory isn't just money. It's someone believing in their potential long before the world says they're ready. If you've had success, it's our duty to pay it forward. 100% of donations go directly to builders. BUILDERS → reply 🌐🌐 and I'll DM the application BACKERS → reply 🟢🟢 and I'll DM how to contribute @united_builder

I’ve spent my life building software. This was different. The ocean is harsh, indifferent. In software, failure is a log. On the ocean, it’s a lesson you feel immediately. It took 5 years and 500+ people to get Windigo here. Sweating every detail together. We've sailed her over 11,000 miles. Now we're on the cover & named boat of the year! Blown away and humbled. What a team effort!

@yrechtman Isn’t the best solution here then to offer a discount off ticket price for no carry on? Avoids pain of #1 and #2

There are two primary blockers here: 1. People would hate it and would punish any airline that tried 2. You can’t easily regulate what folks do once they enter the plane. Only a backpack or purse with larger bags as an amenity and you’re cooking with gas

It is so hilariously obvious that the optimal arrangement for airlines is to offer a free checked bag and charge for overhead bin space

@BrandonMChu Seriously though, I have always been impressed by your transformation into an elite product leader. I never started a company because I never felt I could make the transformation that you did.

Never been a good website designer but as per Mr. Burns"I'm no art critic, but I know what I hate, and I don't hate this." So I've made a skill (in 🧵) that: - intakes creative direction - makes 100s of sites - rate ones u like - learns from ratings & iterates until u converge

"What people actually seem to need is not work specifically but... agency... contribution... mastery... and connection." Amazing article by @SahajGarg6, the topics in it will be the philosophical debate of our generation. sahajgarg.github.io/blog/cognitive…

Woo hoo! Thrilled to share a sneak peek of HubCode -- The Vibe Coding Tool for HubSpot. I talked about this a few weeks ago (which feels like forever). Been cranking on it and am ready to show you the actual app now. Link to video in the comments. Or, just type video.hubcode .com in your browser (it takes you to YouTube). Some notes: 1) This requires no terminal -- runs completely in the cloud. 2) You can vibe code both app cards and full apps that live inside the HubSpot web UI. 3) Generated apps can access data within HubSpot (of course). 4) SUPER EXCITING: Apps can reuse any of the public agents in agent .ai (there are 2,000+ of them). This makes your apps super-powerful because you can access all sorts of data and services. And, you can build your own private agents and access them too. This gives you access to all the major frontier models (GPT, Opus, Gemini), and a bunch of really useful data sources and a ton of other capability. Go to agent .ai to see what's available. The demo shows pulling YouTube videos related to a company right into the app card. 5) You can paste in screenshots or other visuals as part of your vibe coding process (if you haven't done this before, it will feel magical). The HubCode app runs on the agent .ai platform and is in private beta (because this one's going to take some testing and iteration given the power and flexibility). To apply, just go to hubcode .com. This is an early "proof of concept", but will be iterating on it maniacally as I get user feedback. Let me know what you think. All thoughts, ideas, feedback and wishlist items appreciated. FEEDBACK IS A GIFT. Thank you for your support.

People will hate on this saying “where are the results” and “talk is cheap” But optimism and civic pride are hard won, and just like in companies, their energy begets real productivity Canadian golden era coming

Public mood in Canada is shifting. 42% say the country is headed in the right direction, while pessimism about the rest of the world remains overwhelming. New Abacus poll: abacusdata.ca/new-abacus-pol…
