Happy to join Minister @Charmomof5 at the 10th Anniversary of Amazon Fulfillment Centre-YYZ3 in #Brampton. @amazon has over 25,000 employees in Peel Region and plans to continue to grow in our City. The celebrating cake was made in the shape of an @amazon package. 🍰

1/3 The gov't has moved one step closer to implementing the discriminatory and damaging digital services tax (#DST) via Bill C-59, which will increase costs for consumers on everyday products and services that rely on digital platforms. #cdnpoli

As part of the budget bill passed yesterday, the Trudeau government is poised to impose a retroactive digital services tax (DST). The DST is terribly ill-advised and, as @awudrick argued for MLI last year, it risks stoking a trade war with the US. https://t.co/rhN59riG7J

Thank you to everyone who joined us today for our special #StartupGov roundtable in Vancouver - hosted in partnership with @amazonca!

Unlike most goods and services in Canada, telecom prices have declined year over year … 1/8

We’ve been saying it for a long time, and more people are noticing. Network investments and competition-driven price reductions have given Canadians more choice and lower prices. 1/6

Anyone who has been to a phone store in the past year already knows this - prices for mobile phone services are DOWN more than 25% in the past year. This morning, @StatCan_eng confirmed it. #INDU #CRTC @ISED_CA #cdntech #cdnpoli

@StatCan_eng Remarkably, @Statcan_Eng now says the cellular service index has fallen a full 50.4% between December 2018 and December 2023. 2/3

According to @StatCan_eng: telephone services are the downward largest contributor to consumer prices: down 20.6% y/y https://t.co/VqfqEvASt0

Consumer prices continue to go up. Mobile prices continue to go down. There is a aggressive price competition today between Canada's mobile operators. Don't believe me? Go to any mall kiosk and see for yourself!

A new report from @PwC_Canada: Understanding the affordability of wireless and wireline services in Canada [26 page pdf, 7.7MB]: https://t.co/7Tp2yYPN5v 8-part thread to examine the key findings: #CRTC #CDNtech @ISED_CA 1/8

Our @TELUS CEO Darren Entwistle has maintained his strong commitment to the company's strategy and growth by making a notable investment, purchasing 395,843 shares from the start of this year through October 2023. Read the full release here:

BREAKING! A new @PwC report shows the Canadian telecom sector directly contributed nearly $77B to the economy in 2022, supporting 724k jobs. Canada’s six largest telecoms invested $13.3B last year in capex alone, driving the sector’s economic impact. 1/2

Sunday morning coffee at Aroma. Because boycotts of Jewish businesses in Canada must backfire. Because antisemitism has no place in our country. The beautiful mosaic that is Canada is made beautiful by the vibrancy of each of its tiles. Now is no time to give up on that.

Some reflections, from my heart. It hasn't been an easy first 2 weeks in this role but I'm grateful for the support I've received from so many.

For BC’s Jewish community, recent days have been frightening. A significant rise in antisemitic incidents here in BC evokes painful memories. Combatting this kind of hate begins with learning from the darkest parts of our history, so the same horrors are never repeated. (1/3)

Today, the Premier @dave_eby announced that BC would introduce mandatory Holocaust education for students in Grade 10 in the 2025-26 school year. This is a timely announcement as we see an increase in antisemitism. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

I’ve been grateful to friends and colleagues who have reached out in recent weeks in response to the Hamas terror attacks and open displays of antisemitism. This piece captures the feeling of many I know so well. It really is a must-read right to the end. https://t.co/KghDULsM8g

As we stand united in this commitment, @inovia is dedicated to continuing to foster a safe and inclusive environment for our employees and those of our portfolio companies.
