Wow, what a morning (and spilling into the afternoon) of responding to all the amazing messages, posts, and even personalized e-mails from all over the world! Even in the midst of a global pandemic, we may be separated, but not alone or forgotten 🥰 #birthday

@NeilPasricha @MarkJCarney Should’ve said yes to the Pickering Airport. They said you couldn’t grow food on a runway, so now they’re going to grow houses and warehouses on the land instead right? 🙄

Dear Prime Minister Mark Carney (@markjcarney), I was on the Toronto Ferry last year staring at our majestic waterfront. I saw paddlers, kayakers, dragon boaters, sailors, windsurfers, fishers, paddleboarders, water taxis, and cruisers all sharing the space in harmony. When we docked at Hanlan’s Point on the Toronto Islands I was surrounded by hikers, joggers, cyclists, birders, picnickers, swimmers, photographers, beachgoers, frisbee golfers, naturalists, and thousands of tourists and locals enjoying this lush ecological paradise surrounded by our sparkling freshwater lake. Please don’t destroy this by paving Lake Ontario. Three weeks ago Ontario Premier Doug Ford (@fordnation) announced he will "seize" Toronto’s Billy Bishop Airport (YTZ) in order to expand runways into Lake Ontario (1), bring in jets against the legal contracts governing the airport (2), and nix 14,000 mixed-use homes slated to go up on the shore (which taxpayers have already spent $1.4B developing). (3,4) Although this decision is not his to make — Billy Bishop is governed by the City of Toronto and the federal government (5) — Premier Ford says he will overrule the City to "bring in jets one way or another." (6,7) Premier Ford says he has the "full support" of your federal government to do this. (8) Prime Minister Carney: It is not too late. Please say no to expanding Billy Bishop airport into the lake. We don’t need this, we don’t want this, and we can’t afford this. We don’t need this. We can already go anywhere we want to go. I live right in downtown Toronto. I can be anywhere I want in the world, tomorrow. I can walk to bus, subway, streetcar, and UP express stations from my house and I fly 40x per year. In the past year I have been to over 35 airports on 3 continents and YYZ is one of the absolute best. In fact, in the past month it has won "Best Airport Staff in North America" (9), been ranked 4th in all of the Americas in efficiency (out of 50 airports) (10), and won Best Large Airport on the entire continent (an award it's won eight times in nine years.) (11) Right this second, checking Uber, I can get from my house by car to Toronto’s Pearson International Airport (YYZ) in 21 mins and to Toronto’s Billy Bishop Island Airport (YTZ) in 14 mins. Right this second, if someone at Union Station wanted to get to YYZ on public transit it would take 28 minutes (UP Express) and to YTZ would take 22 minutes (TTC streetcar). We are talking about a 6 minute time savings here. If we want to serve southwestern Ontario’s population with expanded jet service we simply need to use the 7000m of existing, high-capacity, under-utilized jet runways within 2 hours of Toronto at Hamilton (@flyYHM ), Waterloo (@flyYKF), and London (@flyYXU) versus entertaining a "special economic zone" to force a jet-strip into the most environmentally sensitive and densely populated waterfront in the country. We don’t want this. This tiny speck of ecological paradise provides critical respite from our dense and urban concrete jungle and is vital for mental health, community, and happiness. Over 400 peer-reviewed studies show urban forests and parks mitigate depression and anxiety and enhance overall mental well-being. (12) I know you agree because four days ago on March 31, 2026 you announced your "Force of Nature" strategy with the vision of "protecting, restoring, and valuing nature." This wonderful program declares a federal investment of $3.8 billion dollars into "protecting critical habitats and aligning industrial strategies with biodiversity conservation." (13, 14, 15) Also, I looked into the runway expansion into the lake that Premier Ford has promised. Right now the shortest jet runway in Canada is 1832m (YHM Hamilton, ON) and the shortest jet runway in the world is 1508m (LCY London City Airport, UK). There are also new Canadian Aviation Regulations (RESA) stating all runways need to add 150m on each end for safety. (16, 17, 18) Today the Billy Bishop runway is 1216m. (19) Even the most conservative assumption — building the shortest jet runway in the entire world! — still requires a minimum of 600m more runway to land jets. Here is a current aerial view of Billy Bishop Airport. (Photo 1 / attached) Here is an aerial view of Billy Bishop Airport with the smallest possible runway extension of 600m added. (Photo 2 / attached) (Of course this photo doesn’t include additional parking, hangers, gates, aprons, tarmacs, fueling stations, de-icing stations, blast fences, control towers, baggage carousels, taxi pickups … ) We can’t afford this. Premier Ford was first elected in 2018 as the right wing candidate (PC) with 40.5% of the vote (left wing side of NDP and Liberal was 53.2%) and campaigned as a fiscal conservative. (FN) He attacked the Liberals for their $6.7B deficit and vowed a "return to balanced budgets" that would "begin in 2019." (20, 21) Since then Premier Ford has won two more elections — with a nearly identical right / left vote split and record lows in voter turnout — and has now presided over 8 budgets. (22, 23) In order from 2019 to 2026 those eight budgets have been for *deficits* of $8.7B, $16.4B, $13.5B, $5.9B, $5.6, $1.1B, $12.3B, and, most recently, just announced last week on March 26, 2026, coming in at a 77% increase on his own 2025 forecasts, $13.8B. (24, 25) Since Premier Ford was elected he has *increased* Ontario’s debt from $338B to $485B. Ontario now pays $17.2B a year … just in interest payments. (26, 27, 28) Notably, Premier Ford’s most recent $13.8B deficit budget does not include any money for the projected $1-2B cost of expanding Billy Bishop airport. (Prime Minister, you and Premier Ford are both 61 and have a seemingly warm relationship despite wildly different education and business paths. (29, 30, 31, 32) Might you have time for some evening finance tutorials?) Prime Minister Carney: We don’t need this, we don’t want this, we can’t afford this. Please say no to this expansion plan. Please allow the legal agreements governing the airport to remain in the hands of those who legally own it — the City of Toronto and the federal government — and not with Premier Ford’s provincial government who is attempting to autocratically rule something in which it has no stake. At the Junos six days ago on March 29, 2026 you praised 82-year-old @jonimitchell and justifiably called her "one of the greatest artists of all time." (33) Joni warned us about "paving paradise to put up a parking lot" and now that’s exactly what Premier Ford is proposing we do. The Toronto Harbour, Toronto Harbourfront, and Toronto Islands are a crown jewel for the functioning of our great city, our great province, and our great country. Would New York City pave over Central Park? Would Paris put runways on the Seine? We absolutely should not pave the paradise of Lake Ontario to put up runways and parking lots we don’t need, don’t want, and can’t afford. It's not too late. Please say no.

@EugeneGritter @grok @darren_lubedude @MrJoKeR604 I think you’re looking purely at the financial costs. Forgetting that there is a significant time savings, stress reduction and healthcare reduction coming with the reduced travel times and emissions.

@grok @darren_lubedude @MrJoKeR604 So, using Alto's best case scenario, we could save $10B over the next 25 years, and all we have to do is write a check for $90B in 2026 dollars?

It's actually insane that Pierre is trying to make improvements to our outdated transportation infrastructure a partisan issue. That's all this guy does, drive a wedge, create division.

@tripphighgrade @indifferentnick @MrJoKeR604 GO is provincial (the two letters literally stand for Government of Ontario). Alto is a federal interprovincial initiative. You should learn your grade 10 levels of government before you post.

@indifferentnick @MrJoKeR604 I agree. But why at this cost and to these specific locations? We don’t even have proper GO Train service. Walk before you run.

@UkkonenAri @MrJoKeR604 “A 1.5 hour flight”… which is actually a 3.5 hours flight once you take into account security lines and waiting at the gate. Not to mention you can’t take any liquids over 100 ml with you and anyone with a mobility scooter must remove the battery from it.

@MrJoKeR604 So you want high speed rail from Toronto to Quebec city? It is just a 1.5 hour flight. Ontario and Quebec already get too much money.

@EhHoleGov @MrJoKeR604 This picture doesn’t even come close to telling the story. 11/17 is already being twinned (with bi-directional MASH ended guardrails). Strategically though, it truly does need a land-bypass, or another Nipigon bridge situation will happen again.

It's not "partisan" to prioritize real infrastructure—it's common sense. Canada still lacks a continuous 4-lane coast-to-coast highway. Highways 11 and 17 in northern Ontario are notorious death traps: dozens of fatalities over recent years, with 8 deaths in just 10 days this winter and 10 by early March. Calgary to Vancouver? The Trans-Canada is still not fully four-laned in key stretches. Meanwhile, the US Interstate system supercharged their economy, slashing trade costs, boosting GDP by hundreds of billions, and integrating markets. Our east-west trade lags because we rely too heavily on north-south routes with the US. Pierre's right to push upgrades. VIA Rail desperately needs modernization too. Basic roads and reliable rail aren't wedges—they're nation-building. Fix the basics before flashy high-speed projects. Canada is becoming a 3rd world shithole.

@sergiodelgado @ErikLindy @SamHersh01 Agreed. Some other comment proposed basically a PRT system, but that is hardly a good solution for mass transit.

@ErikLindy @SamHersh01 EVs are still susceptible to traffic. Youll sit in traffic for an hour just trying to get out Toronto. In the end theres no reason why CAN cant build HSR and people buying their own self driving vehicles over time.

Canada is literally the only G7 country without high speed rail. Conservatives want you to continue to pay sky high prices for gas, worsen congestion on roads and make your commute hours longer. We've been "studying" high speed rail for 50 years - time to get it built.

@SamHersh01 Having recently taken the KTX from Seoul to Busan, it’s incredible! That corridor seems quite similar to me in population density and all the other things people say “isn’t viable” for our corridor. They also have a parallel freight line too.

@HirnerC @trascoco2222 @SamHersh01 Speaking with people from there, seeing pictures and videos they’ve brought over of their family and friends. They definitely don’t live in misery 😂 sounds like you’ve fallen for the propaganda.

@trascoco2222 @SamHersh01 It's also a communist hellhole ruled by an organized criminal organization. And the people are drunk most of the time bc they live in misery. Not the standard you think it is.

@HirnerC @cbmfan20 @SamHersh01 Private industry can’t build it in Canada. The permitting would murder you. I know this, because of the sheer amount of permitting required to REPAIR a single rail bridge was incredible. My former boss (who’s done the work before) was shooketh when I read him the new requirement

@cbmfan20 @SamHersh01 So why hasn't industry built it without public money?

@TorontoStar Who the hell is calling platform screen doors “anti-suicide” and “a stunt”? From an engineering perspective, they solve a lot of problems: you can air condition your stations without losing most of it to the tunnels, reduced brake dust on the platforms, reduced garbage on track.

Cops at every station. Millions on anti-suicide doors. Inside one councillor’s TTC subway safety pitch — and why critics call it a stunt trib.al/ibSURM0

@JonPaula Don’t worry, I still remember JPizzle1122 (and when YouTube just handed you control of the “Jon” channel)

*lots* of people naming PewDiePie... but he wasn’t "OG." Call me pedantic, but I was already on my way to a 3rd Play Button before he even showed up, haha. Winekone, LiamKyleSullivan, and AVGN are my OG channels. 😁 Guys that existed pre-2007.

@MrBeast The microwave show, the what the buck show, Smosh, Cade goes to College, kipkay, Happyslip, KevJumba, Namski, IncorporatedFX,

Who are the OG YouTubers you grew up watching?

This is no joke! Police Services across the country have come out with warnings, so | thought I'd include one to really make it resonate. At one point, I was contacted by the friend of a victim who truly believed we were speaking on a private account for months. You wouldn't believe how bad it got, crazy stories I'm happy to share. Even the detectives couldn't believe it. I was lucky to have resources for it to be investigated properly, because it also fell under police impersonation, but what about the thousands of others who don't? All you can do is be careful, be vigilant. Al has even taken it up a notch with voice simulation, grandparents are getting scammed more than ever thinking they're helping their own family.

@JonPaula Aww man, I guess all good things do come to an end. The Jogwheels must spin pretty slow these days.

I wasn't paid by YouTube this month. My channels didn't earn the $100 min AdSense threshold in February. This breaks a streak of 216 consecutive months dating back to February of 2008 when the YTPP first launched.😢 #EndofanEra

@ilikemydogkala @CanTrueCrime @CityNewsTO Legit just did that today, makes no sense at all.

@CanTrueCrime @CityNewsTO Just hit no tip. It's liberating

"Out of hand": New survey finds two‑thirds of Canadians want to abolish tipping culture. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/03/17/can…

@CityNewsTO Having just come back from South Korea, two things they do that I’d love if we did: 1. Abolish tipping 2. Taxes, fees and all charges in the price presented. What the menu/tag/label says is what you pay at the register.

@Studiolo_Deste @CityNewsTO He apparently biked through the gate that was down.

@CityNewsTO Why was he in the tracks?

@MicrosoftTeams Update to this thread. Teams now allows multiple reacts per message!!!

@cal920c Thank you, Calvin 🥰 We're happy to hear you're enjoying those features

Hey, you! Yes, you. You're going to crush it today.

@Real_Farming @pfeeneytamayo @NickPolo__ @gskillgaming Yeah. You can, I’ve done it with a couple different brands for other people. For this system though, it was a 2x8 gb kit and 2x16 gb kit of TridentZ RGB. Same timings and speeds for both kits. From the outside it looked like 4 sticks of the same memory.

@pfeeneytamayo @NickPolo__ @cal920c @gskillgaming Won't matter. Unless they're wildly different you can mix and match.

What's the total system memory capacity you have on your PC?
