@X Thanks for letting me know

all you have to do is start posting

every forecast had this quarter pegged as the rebound. ottawa projected +1.4%. rbc and td both said +1.7%. q4 was the dip, q1 was supposed to be the recovery. we got roughly zero growth yes, this is a technical recession but the longer pattern is what really matters and what concerns me most real gdp per person grew 0.6% in all of 2025. it fell in 2024. it fell in 2023. we haven’t become richer per person in years, and it’s crazy to me that we keep acting surprised when our growth is stalled we have fundamental productivity and investment problems that won’t fix themselves I will sound like I’m beating a dead horse here, but worth repeating again… we know what we need to do to fix this: 1. make capital gains and corporate tax rates at least as good with the US, if not materially better. across all industries. 2. open up protected markets to competition (telecoms, finance, dairy, transportation etc) 3. rapidly reduce bureaucratic red tape and slow process across the board, not just for favoured projects or sectors and finally, let’s all remind ourselves that we can just do things. every Canadian can be part of fixing this. we can collectively hustle - aim high Canada can be the richest country in the world, if we choose to be

Nice, pulled my back lifting dumbbells at the gym…wonder if I can get a seniors discount now

Shocking.

It was always going to 7, but SGA needs to be SGA. OKC in 7

Gave the personal site a much needed facelift

COO of Uber @andrewgordonmac shouts out our Outcomes Tracker yesterday at #TorontoTechWeek Homecoming when discussing Federal Government efficiency. 🇨🇦 "I think the accountability tracker that Build Canada has built is amazing, and if you haven't checked this out you you should look at it... I and I check it regularly". Excellence in government is necessary now more than ever, and it's possible if we demand it.

Finally started playing with Claude design and comparing to codex to give my personal site a much needed facelift. So far, for my taste, I think Claude design is going to win for this project

Well that’s cool, haven’t really posted here in forever, very small account, but 2 days talking about @TOtechweek and got 9 new followers. I guess you really can just do stuff

Well said

Incredible 😂 “So if you could shut the fuck up and we can have a conversation here” - @fnthawar Also love @opencode, so was cool to see @jayair talk about the journey a bit Somehow never actually heard of @turbopuffer until today so need to get educated @TOtechweek

.@Cohere co-founder @nickfrosst says Canada needs to build more nuclear power plants to encourage sovereign tech development. At @TOtechweek's Homecoming, he said he believes growing that capacity could get Canada to “100 percent” renewable energy.

Best part about The Before Days was GitHub being reliable. I don't even blame GitHub, I blame all the slop slingers driving the insane traffic to them.

After this initial bump, @TOtechweek Homecoming was excellent. Speakers/panels were fantastic, lots of great takeaways and insights. Any negative, like below, was the due the venue. I’m not a fan of hosting these events at nightclubs, but maybe that’s just me

Not sure how I never realized the cofounder of Skip The Dishes also cofounder @neofinancial - if ever there was an industry in need of innovation it’s Canadian banks

“No one could employ me in Canada so I started my own business and that worked out” — @tobi

Every time I hear @nickfrosst talk at these things I get more bullish on @cohere and the possibility of having a world class, leading AI company, doing it the right way, built in Canada @TOtechweek

Phenomenal discussion from @andrewgordonmac from @uber. Interesting that Uber Eats started out in Toronto and now accounts for half the revenue of the entire company. @TOtechweek

Always a highlight being able to see @tobi speak on entrepreneurship @TOtechweek

Great opening message from @skanwar @TOtechweek 👏
