@PierrePoilievre Get rid of interprovincial trade restrictions and barriers. Make Canada one big market accessible to Canadians.

Conservatives oppose the job-killing Trudeau tax hike on homes, health care, farmers, and small businesses.
Here's why.

I wish influential entrepreneurs also gave a fraction as much energy as they do arguing about capital gains as abolishing our brutal inter-provincial trade barriers making growing a business in Canada (and GDP) so unnecessarily difficult and also limiting to domestic consumers
Justin Trudeau@JustinTrudeau
We’re asking the very wealthiest to profit a little less off their capital gains — to pay their fair share — so we can reinvest it in the middle class.

@domcoballe @_buildspace 👀 might be the push I need to turn some ideas into action
English
@fahdananta Depends what you consider key measures? Income disparity, cost of living, polarization, C02/climate change, loneliness/mental health, fertility rates etc are all very real key measures of a viable and functioning society trending in the wrong directions.
English
There's a whole (growing) group of people that are being gaslit into believing the world is a miserable place and just getting worse
Reality is far from that. We're doing better than ever before by every key measure
Erin 𓅉@getpseudoed
I don’t understand people who are having children right now. The planet is cooked, there’s a virus disabling and killing everyone, we’re fast-tracking fascism, and I don’t think anyone is going to stop any of it. Why would you put an another human into this world?

@aliasaria Appreciate you having the courage to stick your neck out there and offer different perspective 👏

As you've probably seen, the tech entrepreneur community in Canada has had a lot to say about the government's Capital Gains Inclusion Rate change.
I share below my earlier posts about why I think this change is good for Canada

Made me look like a real cool dude last night showing off my fake scarjo assistant who suddenly didn’t sound anything like scarjo as soon as I started showing other ppl

Statement from Scarlett Johansson on the OpenAI situation. Wow:

@notionport Apparently Vancouver’s made its move just IRL not on X
toki@tokifyi
Some toronto man think they're the only ones doing things. In the last six months, I brought together 2,000+ techies in Vancouver through: - demos - coffee chats - talks - parties Just because we're not on Twitter doesn't mean we're not doing anything. LMAO.

Spent a couple hours at Design Aesthetics 101 working through a design exercise only to end up with what was described as "the first page of a typeform" (thanks @galaxiawu 😂). Looks like I've got a ways to go to level up
DA101 was 5/5, thank you @lychkel + volunteers!

@Luccidor @MichaelLeoM Introducing any friction is going to dramatically reduce people’s willingness to take the train compared to an Uber or cab and two transfers to get to basically the only tourist destination in town is likely to be too much friction for many to make it worthwhile Bangkok or not.
English
@MichaelLeoM @grigonometry You're comparing Ottawa to a city of what, 10 million? We have an airport parkway - 1 road - that goes from the airport all the way to Queen Street. So making our LRT connection needlessly complicated makes no sense, even if Bangkok and other huge cities had to develop that way.
English
Do you want more direct flights from Ottawa to London and other cities? The more people who support this campaign, the more we will show the airlines that Ottawa wants and deserves more direct flights : marksutcliffe.ca/active/direct-…
English
@MichaelLeoM @Luccidor @_MarkSutcliffe Is this cherry picked anecdote common for significant international cities as a means of getting from downtown to an airport via train?
English
@grigonometry @Luccidor @_MarkSutcliffe Btw, Bangkok is a major tourist hot-spot... and the BTS Skytrain is very popular with tourists - even with changing lines, and even to get to and from hotels WITH luggage.
English
@Luccidor @_MarkSutcliffe The south keys transfer is the especially rough one
English
@_MarkSutcliffe Not springing for a direct LRT link from the YOW to downtown sent a signal Ottawa isn’t serious about being a global destination. Imagine flying ‘direct’ from London, having to switch trains at South Keys and then Bayview to get to your hotel? Brutal city planni.

@grigonometry They're waiting to see if the US bans them first.
We get our unit in a month though if you wanna see one live.

Now deploy armies of these in autonomous towers with fire suppressant loaded up throughout Canada’s boreal forest linked up with some monitoring platform for heat detection using infrared imaging satellites and automate rapid response to fresh fires while they’re still small 🙏
