There are tents in parks and vacant lots all over Montreal, winter is coming, and tens of millions of dollars are just sitting there.
La mairesse de Montréal demande à Québec d'acquiescer aux demandes d'Ottawa et d'ajouter 50 millions $ aux 50 M$ offerts par le fédéral. «Ce 100 millions ne peut pas dormir sur la table. [...] Réglez cette chicane constitutionnelle», dit Valérie Plante. https://t.co/IQtZ9lVpR5

This piece by @KRonellenfitsch is so goddamned good. So goddamned smart. So goddamned cut-through-the-bullshit. I wish @liberal_party would hook her brain up to a WhatDoWeDoNext machine. I want every Liberal in Canada to read it immediately. https://t.co/gZDntNimXt

Having polled for Team Holt, let me say that campaign manager @katieadavey and the entire team deserve praise for running a campaign that was doggedly focused on being "focused on you".

The way we’re about to watch Milton unfold through the eyes of its victims on TikTok feels unprecedented. I have two degrees in climate science. Not once in my education did we talk about the role that social media would play in the collective experience of climate change.

Studies from other jurisdictions have found a correlation between high speed rail and productivity gains. In the context of a productivity crisis in Canada, these are the stakes. A huge missed opportunity if the contract goes to Air Canada and/or is “medium speed” rail.
Toronto to Montreal in 3 hours? Canada is finally ready to build a high speed rail line — but how fast it will be remains an open question

A real shock & monumental loss. MAIEI was my entry point to the topic & I had the pleasure of knowing Abhishek through @shapersMTL. He was man whose brilliance was matched by his kindness and his contributions won’t soon be forgotten. Condolences to his family and loved ones.
In accordance with his family's wishes, it is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of @atg_abhishek, Founder and Principal Researcher of @mtlaiethics, and Director for Responsible AI at @BCG and a pioneering voice in the field of #AIethics [1/4] 🧵👇

oh good, Rogers Stadium, not to be confused with Rogers Centre, Rogers Arena or Rogers Place. Canada is not beating the "three corporations in a trenchcoat" allegations I fear
INCOMING: Live Nation plans to build a 50,000-capacity stadium at Downsview that would be the biggest purpose-built concert venue in the country, with a massively ambitious opening date: next June

A propos nothing, here’s an observation I made during grad school @MaxBellSchool a few years ago, published in an article for a @ColumbiaSIPA outlet. It was about risks to national security when critical infrastructure is privately owned by one dude. https://t.co/VdUMDMPDzR

"If you think naively that the Russians don't care as much about influencing Canadian thought, penetrating the Cdn government at all levels-I'm here to tell you they care deeply about shaping how you think, how you vote and sowing chaos and discord" Fadden, former CSIS director
The social media accounts of two Canada's most vocal far-right pundits have fallen unusually silent after U.S. officials accused them of being collaborators of a covert Russian propaganda campaign. https://t.co/tAlYXJ22Lw .

Kamala Harris smiles too much. Hillary Clinton didn’t smile enough. I’m beginning to think it’s not about smiling…

Errrr, I would suggest that using ChatGPT to get data and analysis about the election that you’re then explaining on a live TV show is… not smart
We are all still awake here on @Channel4News - I fear however that @campbellclaret may be about to morph into a French intellectual on a late night culture show - as we wait for the Liz Truss news…😎
