@Optikz78 @jen_keesmaat Yes. We keep on going back to the same solutions like bike lanes, tolls, etc - none of which work. Truly invest in technology. Think about where society is going 10 years from now. Be innovative.

@jen_keesmaat Actually, self driving cars that talk to each other could solve a lot of gridlock as you won’t have stupid human decisions causing the gridlock. Space between cars would be consistent, merging would flow much faster, so many areas ai and tech can help

News flash: fewer cars is the only way to ease gridlock. Technology won’t save us. It’s a physics problem. Too many cars, not enough space. Until the City becomes serious about being an urban place that promotes walking, cycling, and transit as first choices for getting around, this mess will not be resolved. It’s a shame to see the city so lost when it comes to a vision of a livable, urban future. London figured it out, Paris figured it out, Montreal is figuring it out. But Toronto is regressing, prioritizing moving cars as the key to mobility. It’s both sad and futile. Congestion Pricing could solve this problem overnight.

@ronmortgageguy The other side of this is as technology changes, the transportation options available by the time this thing is finished will make this obsolete. How far away are we from flying taxis? Even autonomous vehicles will make a difference.

High Speed Rail Is An Unbelievable Waste Of Money: It Makes No Sense In Canada $90 To $175 BILLION for nothing I know some people love High Speed Trains In Europe & Asia everyone who uses them thinks: Fantastic! Canada needs these But No: Not Sensible here It's Math 2/

@gfienberg17 Copy and paste this to the card. Hallmark can’t express it any better.

Finding out you have to attend a formal wedding this weekend for your wife's friend second marriage is one of the worst feelings imaginable. Ive been retired from this sort of thing longer than Philip Rivers was retired. I cant believe I have to unretire for this. Im crushed.

Is it just me or does the #GRAMMYs background look like an #ozempic ad?

@rjptoronto @AirCanada This is how they treat a million mile + customer. Hope they get it sorted out.

@BenjaminABarnes @gfienberg17 Yes!! Thought I was crazy. I went here to see who else might be crazy and found it 😀

@gfienberg17 Me too

I just felt an earthquake .

Does anybody know where the plug for the lights is? Raptors game delayed by flickering lights. Argh.

@fordnation Congrats on the views!!! What changed as a result of those views? Doesn’t seem like we are better off.

Ontario‘s ad was intended to initiate a conversation about the impact of tariffs on American workers. In seven days, it achieved 11.4 billion views, raising awareness of President Reagan’s warnings against protectionism.

@cityoftoronto Trying to find meaning here.... - Bear With Us: Transit Delays Ahead - Bear-ocratic Red Tape - Russian interference

We have something exciting to share! You may have noticed a HUGE bronze bear statue near Eglinton & Don Mills. Well, that beary cute statue will be live next door to the brand-new Crosstown Park South opening in November. 🐻 Stay tuned for details and you can also learn more here: toronto.ca/city-governmen… @TorontoPFR

@tylermeredith What was he hoping to achieve with the ad? I haven't seen a good answer to this.

Let’s get something straight. You don’t have to like, vote or even support Doug Ford to think that he’s right to fight Trump. If you’re criticizing him for taking a hard line with a factually correct ad — you’re missing the plot. The ads were right. This isn’t about ads.

@fordnation As a Conservative, none of this is helping. Do we honestly think the public will suddenly see the light because of ads or posts like this? It just inflames. Sit down at the table and negotiate a deal.

Canada and the United States are friends, neighbours and allies. President Ronald Reagan knew that we are stronger together. God bless Canada and God bless the United States. youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

@danielfoch Thank you for finding a solution for a problem that didn't exist. If this is the type of free trade solution we come up with we are in big trouble.

Ontario has tabled new legislation that would allow out-of-province Realtors to more easily work in the province: realestatemagazine.ca/new-ontario-bi…

@altruafinancial It’s worse than that. From October 8, 2020 to April 25, 2024, a total of $46.1 billion in investments across the EV supply chain has been announced across thirteen project groupings. pbo-dpb.ca/en/additional-…

I try not to get into politics much. I am a financial planner who is understanding, respectful, and supportive of many views. But there are things like these that I question: The Federal government invested over $1 billion into 3 electric/ battery factories in ON. NONE operational. NOTHING produced. That's $1B+of Canadians' money gone. Full stop. Why isn't this in the media? Why are Canadians so tolerant of this kind of waste? What is the one thing that frustrated Canadians can do to stop this? And WHY aren't they doing it?

"Investments" like this from the Liberals - EV batteries that have proven to be a colossal disaster. From October 8, 2020 to April 25, 2024, a total of $46.1 billion in investments across the EV supply chain has been announced across thirteen project groupings. pbo-dpb.ca/en/additional-…

Can you afford a Liberal government promising to spend $130 billion more than Justin Trudeau planned?

These are Liberal "Investments" - EV batteries that have proven to be a colossal disaster. From October 8, 2020 to April 25, 2024, a total of $46.1 billion in investments across the EV supply chain has been announced across thirteen project groupings. pbo-dpb.ca/en/additional-…

REPORTER: You announced $130 BILLION in new spending but a shrinking deficit over 4 years. Why should Canadians believe those numbers add up? CARNEY: They add up. Trust me, bro.

@CanadianOilExec Do you have to raise debt to pay for these “investments”? Yes. Who pays the interest on those bonds? Canadians.

@ronmortgageguy He shouldn't be speaking for Canada in the first place. Our challenge is we have a major leadership gap not having a viable Prime Minister. We need an election to allow Trump to negotiate with a party he knows will be around.

But Ford's talk of shutting down Power Grids to US States is just Dumb as fck Once Canada goes from an economic fight to leaving people in the dark we make a mistake I know when people feel abused they want to lash out but escalating a fight with a 10X, 15X bigger country? 5/

I never in all my years thought I would see our closest ally put an economic knife in our backs The 51st State talk is disturbing & shocking It's all unexpected & terrible But when you are in a deep hole the first rule is: DON'T DIG ANYMORE The Counter Tariffs make sense 3/

@mdbob_music @PierrePoilievre Exactly! That was my reaction. Amazing how effective a tell this is.

@PierrePoilievre When someone talks and touches their nose or face, you know they’re not aligned with what they’re saying.

Mark Carney blatantly lied to Canadians last night. He claimed he had nothing to do with moving his company headquarters to Trump's America, even though he chaired the meeting where the decision was made and wrote company shareholders endorsing the move. If he won't protect jobs in his own company, why would he protect yours? If Carney wins, Canada loses: conservative.ca/cpc/if-carney-…

@MPelletierCIO And goods coming into Canada will be even more expensive.

Lower CAD, higher USD will offset some of the tariffs placed on our goods and oil. Remember this when looking at the stocks tomorrow.

Keep in mind the impact of the weakened Canadian dollar. US goods will be even more expensive here. While Canadian goods will not feel the full tariff impact in the US due to the opposite dollar impact.
