Dear 🇨🇦,

The images of Mount Etna's eruption today, July 4th, 2024, are incredible. 📍 Sicily, Italy 🇮🇹

Slightly unfair but useful thought experiment. Since 1900 US GDP per capita grew from $4000 to ~$45,000 by year 2000. Even a more modern ~2% GDP growth rate would be $29,000 by year 2000. If we take Canada's last 8 years GDP capita growth rate and apply it to the US in 1900, the number is $5,400. How different would the world be if the US didn't prioritize growth? How different will Canada of 2070 be if we don't figure this out?

@ivanpehar @ryeandwater Yeah, he's pretty compelling. Enjoy the fruit, fellas ;) I'll just keep hanging with @lpearce #greendotforever #Pixel

@rorycapern @ryeandwater it was only a matter of time, @ryeandwater kept grinding me down. It started to impact our friendship

After 15 yrs I have finally made the transition from Android OS to iOS iPhone. Yes I will now be a blue bubble 🔵 @ryeandwater

“The purpose of knowledge is action, not knowledge.” — Aristotle

Terrorism is not politics. There are no 'sides' in terrorism. If, for whatever reason, you find yourself justifying terrorist acts, to yourself or anyone else, you are in the wrong.

The man himself @samsebastian talking #GenAI and the impact that @googlecloud sees ahead. His advice: GenAI has hit in the last 3 months. Understand the business problem -> move to activation and testing quickly. A huge opportunity for 🇨🇦 exists, now, to stake our claim.

@DanEbs true to form, in conversation with @colindeacon , asking tough questions of the 🇨🇦 banking industry. "No matter what side of the table you're on...Canada won't have a competitive banking system in the next 20 years...we have to figure this out" #Elevate2023

Great to see the good guys recognized. Congrats @gcapern!

It was a real pleasure to have the dragon herself @manjitminhas share her insights on success at #redbrickevolve2023 with the @rdbrck team today: - on negotiation as a life style - on surrounding ourselves with truth tellers - on being courageous in competing with the behemoths.

@Alofs You've been providing me with perspective for all these years...happy to return the favour! Thanks for a great time, as always.

@acoyne 🎯's this. "...But of all the lies we told ourselves and others, the most preposterous was the lie that 'the platform stole our content'. They didn't steal it. For the most part, they don't even use it. What they do is link to it..." theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

A headline I hoped I'd never read in a country I am so proud of. Come on 🇨🇦, we are better than this... Canadians will no longer have access to news content on Facebook and Instagram, Meta says cbc.ca/news/politics/…

#GoCanadaGo 💯🔥🚨⛳ #CanadianOpen

@justinpang Ha! Sadly, no. But the flight from Victoria to Vancouver on @HarbourAirLtd has to be one of the best/most beautiful flights in 🇨🇦

@rorycapern Wow! Private chopper a la the Roy Family? Great view! 🚁

Hello #techexit - looking forward to a rich agenda. Who's here?

@davidpfbrown @ShimonaMehta

This morning I prepared a board memo for our upcoming Board Meeting. I added a Biggie Smalls lyric with a link to the video. What a difference it makes working with people you love, who share high aspirations. Cc @ShimonaMehta @rorycapern

My favourite day on Twitter comes around again, and the conversation around #BellLetsTalk and mental health gets more and more important every time it does. Be kind to yourself and the people around you. Thanks @Bell_LetsTalk 👊🇨🇦🔥
