Excellent advice here that friends and family should be following.

@KurtSupeCPA That's a great list Kurt, thank you for sharing (will definitely relay to my family). Not sure how 2FA will come into play though. Even a master password to my Password Manager wont get them in without my authenticators, etc.

A 71 year old man dies in March. Will. Trust. Beneficiaries on every account. He did everything right. BUT he kept his entire life on his IPHONE. Banking apps. Brokerage accounts. Crypto wallets. PayPal. Venmo. Credit cards. Passwords. Financial records going back many years. And every photo he ever took. His grandkids. His anniversaries. Years of family memories that exist nowhere else. His wife found a passcode scribbled on a piece of paper in his desk drawer. It didn't work. She tried everything. Nothing worked. What followed was months of frustration and thousands in legal fees recovering accounts and memories that were never hidden from her. A perfect estate plan on paper. Zero estate plan for his phone. Nobody ever told him his smartphone needed one too. Here's the free two minute fix that could have saved her all of that. 🧵

@RichardDias_CFA It doesn't change the profitability (or lack thereof) of the projects to the developers or their investors. Its a lubricant to keep the system moving to the benefit of buyers. Look at what % of the Canadian economy is dependent on construction. Not at all a transfer of wealth

Bailing out the Canadian housing market is yet another transfer of wealth from the Labour/Working Class to the Owner class. It is very on brand for this government.

@MarkJCarney @fordnation Good idea. Please do BC next.

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.

@mobinfiltrator No chance someone ‘wants’ to pivot from a market project to a rental when near completion. You build to a different spec between the two and your cost would be too high. Returns would be awful.

The #Ontario HST removal on properties under $1,000,000 is a massive scam. What normally happens: - Builder finishes a condo - Sells it to a buyer - GST/HST gets paid on that sale If it doesn’t sell: - Builder is stuck holding it - They still have financing costs, taxes, etc Now with @fordnation’s help they can do this instead: - Put the unit into the rental pool - In tax terms, that’s treated like a “deemed sale” to themselves - Now they don’t have to pay the taxes thanks to Ford Normally, they would still owe GST/HST on that “self-supply” but with the tax break, that cost is removed. Why this matters: - It removes a big penalty for not selling - So builders think: “Why discount and sell at a loss? Just rent it out and wait for prices to recover!” There are 30,000 condos alone due to finish construction in 2026. That’s $2.8 billion in taxes avoided. Everything Ford does is for himself and his friends. @ronmortgageguy

For the record. A Master Class in Incompetence: the Bank of Canada. High energy prices are deflationary: they squeeze real incomes, crush discretionary spending, and deter investment, so the ultimate macro effect is weaker growth and downward pressure on underlying inflation, not a permanent inflation spiral. Yet you should fully expect central bankers to ignore basic economic theory and, as they did with wages and tariffs, misread a negative supply shock in oil as the start of a permanent inflation regime rather than a growth shock with only temporary price effects. It is hard to describe that repeated error—treating every cost shock as a 1970s rerun, as anything other than total incompetence. The Bank of Canada just delivered a masterclass in that incompetence: leaving rates unchanged as Canada heads for a hard landing is not caution, it is negligence—tight policy into a weakening, energy‑squeezed economy is how you turn a slowdown into a policy‑induced recession, then blame “inflation expectations” after the fact.

How did this happen? Imagine a government in power for a decade and all it can show for it is: - Worst deficit ever - Worst debt ever - Private property crisis - Healthcare collapse - Defunding autistic kids - Taxing seniors - Drug/crime riddled streets People want change.

Amazing shot 🤯

@RealAlbanianPat How are the NDP possibly gaining seats? This can’t be accurate.

Latest BC Pallas Data Poll modelled out 🟠NDP: 50 seats (+3) 🔵CON: 42 seats (-2) 🟢GRN: 1 seats (-1) 🟠NDP Majority Government (+/- change from 2024 BC election) Feel free to ask for any ridings

Deputy Minister of the Declaration Act Secretariat Jessica Wood is out. Good riddance. But nothing actually changes. She will be replaced. The $4 million DRIPA Secretariat keeps operating. And now David Eby is paying Doug Caul $250,000 to clean up a problem this government created. The spending continues. The uncertainty remains. The courts ruled the way they did because this government failed to fully consider the consequences of its own legislation. The legal ambiguity was not accidental. It was built into the framework. At every stage, we have seen poor judgment and careless drafting. People need certainty. Your home should not sit under legal ambiguity because of rushed, activist legislation. When I am Premier, I will abolish DRIPA. I will end the confusion and restore clear, protected private property rights in British Columbia. This province belongs to every British Columbian. Join me. Buy a membership. Vote in this leadership race. HarmanForLeader.ca Let’s Rebuild B.C. Together.

David Eby needs to resign or be fired. If you truly think Eby knew nothing about the feds recognizing Musqueam Aboriginal title in Metro Vancouver.... You really are dense. This whole land claim title is the BC Premier's baby.

@GlobalBC Excellent. When can we adopt a new Premier?

This budget is a complete failure, and that’s because it is rooted in socialism. It's a mockery to even call it a budget - it really should be called "The Diary of a Shopping Addict."

@ashtom @EntireHQ I have no idea what you just said, but it sounds exciting. Congrats on the launch.

tl;dr Today, we’re announcing our new company @EntireHQ to build the next developer platform for agent–human collaboration. Open, scalable, independent, and backed by a $60M seed round. Plus, we are shipping Checkpoints to automatically capture agent context. In the last three months, the fundamental role of the software developer has been refactored. The incredible improvements from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI on their latest models made coding agents so good, in many situations it’s easier now to prompt than to write code yourself. The terminal has become the new center of gravity on our computers again. The best engineers can run a dozen agents at once. Yet, we still depend on a software development lifecycle that makes code in files and folders the central artifact, in repositories and in pull requests. The concept of understanding and reviewing code is a dying paradigm. It’s going to be replaced by a workflow that starts with intent and ends with outcomes expressed in natural language, product and business metrics, as well as assertions to validate correctness. This is the purpose of our new company @EntireHQ, to build the world's next developer platform where agents and humans can collaborate, learn, and ship together. A platform that will be open, scalable, and independent for every developer, no matter which agent or model you use. Our vision is centered on three core components: 1) A Git-compatible database that unifies code, intent, constraints, and reasoning in a single version-controlled system. 2) A universal semantic reasoning layer that enables multi-agent coordination through the context graph. 3) An AI-native user interface that reinvents the software development lifecycle for agent–human collaboration. In pursuit of this vision, we’re proud to be backed by a $60M seed round led by @felicis, with support from @MadronaVentures, @m12VC, @BasisSet, @20vcFund, @CherryVentures, @picuscap, and @Global_Founders alongside a global group of builders and operators, including @GergelyOrosz, @theo, Jerry Yang, @oliveur, @garrytan, and many others, who all recognize that the time is now to take such a big swing. And we begin shipping today with Checkpoints, a new primitive that automatically captures agent context as first-class, versioned data in Git. When you commit code generated by an agent, Checkpoints captures the full session alongside the commit: the transcript, prompts, files touched, token usage, tool calls, and more. It’s our first crack at the semantic layer, as open source CLI on GitHub. From here on out, no more stealth. We are building in the open and as open source! More to come soon, in the meantime check out all the details in our blog.

@omooretweets Has a long way to go still (and I'm sure it will get there). Loses context very quickly and can't touch complicated models.

Investment banking analysts not marked safe from AI I asked Claude in Excel to do a DCF. In ~3 minutes, it pulled web data and built the model (w/ notes, formatting, citations) It then recognized the result was lower than the market price, so added a sensitivity analysis 🤯

@swatsonparcels I can see it now, car vision reports back to China: "road workers still on week 5 of 10m stretch of road report, potholes persist"

During PM Carney's recent visit to China, he announced Canada would drop EV tariffs from 100% to 6.1% on 49,000 Chinese vehicles annually. Beyond economic impact, there are significant security implications without guardrails for dual-use technology. EVs are computers on wheels with GPS, sensors, microphones, and cameras. They map sensitive locations, record conversations, and track movement patterns. Chinese law requires companies to cooperate with state intelligence when requested, creating security vulnerabilities where these EVs operate. Israel has restricted Chinese EVs after intelligence found vehicles transmitting data to Chinese servers without user knowledge. The UK and Poland implemented similar restrictions. The US Commerce Dept finalised rules in 2025 that go further, prohibiting vehicle connectivity system hardware and software from China and Russia entirely. Canada imported Chinese-made EVs before the 2024 100% tariffs but implemented no security guardrails. The new deal revives and expands access with the same absence of safeguards. In its National Cyber Threat Assessment 2025-2026, Canada's Communications Security Establishment stated: "The People's Republic of China's (PRC) expansive and aggressive cyber program presents the most sophisticated and active state cyber threat to Canada today. The PRC conducts cyber operations against Canadian interests to serve high-level political and commercial objectives, including espionage, intellectual property (IP) theft, malign influence, and transnational repression. Among our adversaries, the PRC cyber program's scale, tradecraft, and ambitions in cyberspace are second to none." Canada's deal includes no cybersecurity requirements, no data localisation mandates, no restrictions on gov't or military use, and no connectivity limitations. CSE is doing its job issuing clear threat assessments, but political decision-makers are signing a "strategic partnership" and opening the Canadian market to dual-use technology without recommended guardrails. This disconnect between security assessment and policy implementation represents strategic misalignment. Selective economic engagement with China makes sense when properly safeguarded. This isn't it. #Canada #China #EVSecurity

@AlexFinn Great video! Thank you for bringing this to light for me. Curious, for app development, when you need a backend service, how are you handling it? (i.e. Supabase or Firebase etc.) ? Do you give it the keys to the city and let it interact with cloud based backends?

This is it. The most important video you'll watch this year. ClawdBot has taken X by storm. And for good reason. It's the greatest application of AI ever Your own 24/7 AI employee In this video I cover how it works, how to set it up, and why I think we should all be nervous:
