The spectacular decline of the journalism profession is met with alarming indifference. The worst part is that we are getting used to it, writes @AFP Chairman and CEO Fabrice Fries, for #WND2024. https://t.co/BlBCVHY5XJ

This is the usual nonsense from Steve Simmons. Simmons: Canada's Olympic Basketball Team was missing one key thing - the word Team https://t.co/kiU54vcw6m via @nationalpost

Saddened to learn of the passing of @CityKitchener music icon, Kevin Doyle, someone who loved both music & people. He was one of the pillars of our local music scene, esp. believing in & encouraging our young musicians to dream big. My condolences to his many family & friends!

I don't think many folks understand how #journalism serves us (the public) every day...so they don't value it...won't pay for it. As this is awards season, I encourage all 🇨🇦 to check out some top examples at: https://t.co/tutMTenF6B & https://t.co/B85M9W2wKG.

The press is dying in #Canada (pop. 40 million+) and the US (pop 330M +). Here are the daily papers on the newsstands in #Ireland (pop. 5 million). Irish, English, etc. Dead jealous!

Totally agree. Refs should not be impacting outcome of game.
What did Steve Kerr say? Something like ‘imagine trying to get these calls in a pick-up game? They’d laugh you out of the gym.’ Some ‘technically’ correct calls that were laughable, at end of that game, imo.

Quite disappointing to see @Communitech staying silent on the capital gains issue when the technology community is beside themselves about how bad this policy is for capital formation in the idea economy.
Interesting. Communitech’s response to the budget made no reference to capital gains tax issue.

Great road map. Thanks Kurtis!
It's time to set a vision for the Region of Waterloo in 2030. Here is a starting point. Additions and modifications welcome. 1) Amalgamate the Region to enable creation of a scaled vision and corresponding outcomes. 2) Build an airport with 50 gates and international flights.
