Your odds of being great at anything are directly proportional to your willingness to suck at it for a long time.

I spent part of the day building an AI government relations agent with claude it scans various federal data sources: parliamentary calendars, committees, hansard, stats can, gov announcements, media and delivers a daily briefing filtered for what matters to Build Canada within a few minutes it had identified 4 committee witness opportunities, drafted a brief for me to submit to a parliamentary committee, and surfaced a story most Canadians are missing: > the Standing Committee on Science and Research is finalizing a report on whether EDI criteria should determine who gets $5B in federal research funding > 32 witnesses testified > scientists testified that grants were rejected not on research quality -- but on insufficient enthusiasm for EDI. Canada Research Chairs were restricted by identity. > granting councils couldn't show that the criteria produces better science > this is about to become a major national conversation. pay attention.. this is the kind of work that used to require a full-time GR team. now it can be done in sub-10 minutes using a GR agent. full analysis from claude, un-edited, shared below

The politics of algorithmic pricing are already clear. Canadians show strong support for government rules or even bans on certain types of automated pricing systems. That creates real regulatory risk for companies using these tools. Full research here: abacusdata.ca/canadians-are-…

"Canada’s story gets even more depressing when only young people under 25 are counted. The country then falls to 71st, another new low. Young people were once, on average, the happiest Canadian cohort; now they’re the most miserable. And when compared to 136 countries, that 10-year drop in life satisfaction is one of the largest in the world, placing Canada just four slots from the bottom." On nearly every metric -- economic growth, prosperity, and happiness -- Canada is failing. We need to start doing things dramatically differently to change our trajectory. Incrementalism won't cut it.
The Globe and Mail@globeandmail

In the country’s worst-ever showing in the 14 years that the report has been published, Canada ranked 25th out of 147 countries in the life-satisfaction standings. theglobeandmail.com/life/article-c…

More than 70 cents of every military dollar ends up south of the border. It doesn't need to be that way. Let's Build Canada's Defence Industry and create more jobs and infrastructure at home. Read from @EliotPence: buildcanada.com/memos/build-de…

@ddebow Problem was they couldn't deliver on what they promised it could do, hence the pivot.

@ddebow Thalmic proved the concept years ago. Sometimes being right too early looks the same as being wrong.

@ddebow I believe CTRL-Labs bought some of the IP from thalamic, and then shortly after was acquired by Meta

@harleyf @ddebow @dmrider @nytimes Chalet BBQ is the unsung hero of Montreal. As an expat I confirm you can't find chicken like that anywhere else in the world. Fun MTL fact: Swiss Chalet and Harvey's were founded by the son of the owner of Chalet BBQ.

Montreal has the best food scene in the world right now. And it's not even close. Here's @nytimes on Rôtisserie La Lune. Rotisserie chicken. Obsessive craft. Packed every night. One of my favorite restaurants on the planet. And absolutely in Montreal. So proud of @vanyafilipovic, Marco and the whole team. @Montreal is on fire 🔥 nytimes.com/2026/03/17/din…
