This Blue Jays playoff run has caused me to reflect so much on the things I love about this city. Sportsbetting apps, the Ring of Fire, Roger’s telecom services of various kinds, the Toronto Dominion Bank, Skip the Dishes. The things that make a great team, a great city, possible

Having gone through SR&ED many times - for a total of $500k+ in funds for R&D here in 🇨🇦 - I can say that everything @harleyf says here is spot on. Well intentioned program with an insanely bloated process & cottage industry of consultants. Let's fix that. #cdnpoli #startups
Entrepreneurs thrive on speed. But SR&ED slows them down. Canada doesn’t lack ambition or talent. We lack a system that actually helps. The fix isn’t more funding. It’s a smarter process.

"record in stealth" This is... gross. As tech like this proliferates, we're gonna need to update our social norms and 🇨🇦 law. Recording in public should be legal for a host of reasons - but it should also be explicit and knowable (minus some carveouts for criminality, etc).

Republicans slowly waking up to the fact that Climate Change doesn't give a sh*t about borders.
The Upper Midwest has suffered from repeated waves of smoke due to Canadian wildfires. Today I joined my colleagues from WI & MN to demand better forest management in Canada. Our communities shouldn’t suffer because of poor decisions made across the border.

This seems like the first big stumble from Carney. Hope I'm wrong. Not clear what unilateral disarmament gets us, and Trump's history offers no assurance that he won't just invent another excuse tmrw. Why not collect the $$ and then use a refund as a bargaining chip? #cdnpoli

I’ve been watching this announcement, I just have to say that @MarkJCarney is making commitments on housing more substantial than I would have expected. - Build Canada Homes, a new public agency devoted to building housing directly - $25B in financing and loan garuntees for

Who gives a sh*t. Are they good ideas, or bad ideas? Unless they are writing policy prescriptions for women's health, this shouldn't matter. We have some massive, existential, honest-to-god problems facing our country. Let's focus on solving them. #cdnpoli

Canada legit has the potential to become an economic superpower. Vast natural resources + strategic geography + very strong education system - and it could boost GDP by 4.4-7.9% by removing internal trade barriers alone (low hanging fruit). It's time to unlock the full

This post provides an excellent overview: https://t.co/BNGK55OEy4 TL;DR: Canada has a lot of leverage in the world of IP. Why can't 🇨🇦 companies create generic versions of key parts, drugs, etc? Because we agreed not to in exchange for an equitable trading relationship. #cdnpoli

Canada can circumvent US-controlled patents, freeing up Canadian companies to make patented drugs as well as develop AI-based inventions and other key technologies.

There are many things we can do to strengthen our own economy: make it easier to build, for a start. But we should also look at fundamental changes to things like patent protections and digital services, where the USA reaps massive (and outsized) benefits vs. 🇨🇦

At this point, it is clear that this is not a troll or a gambit. We are being targetted for economic destruction and annexation. We must act accordingly. There is no price too great; no sacrifice we should rule out, to protect our freedom & self-determination. #cdnpoli

Three years of resistance. Three years of gratitude. Three years of absolute heroism of Ukrainians. I am proud of Ukraine! I thank everyone who defends and supports it. Everyone who works for Ukraine. And may the memory of all those who gave their lives for our state and people

Is this what it feels like when your team wins a must-win game? As a Leafs fan, it's an odd feeling. #4Nations #TeamCanada

There’s a lot of negativity and darkness in the world right now, but spending today full of thanks for the family and life we have built here in 🇨🇦. And also thankful for this box… which is apparently the only gift our daughter needed! Merry Christmas everyone 🎄❄️

What’s happened in Austin is a great example to learn from for Toronto. In Austin, there was a demand crunch, and so Builders started building supply. And now supply more than caught up - bringing down prices. That’s how elasticity is supposed to work. But we prevent it here.
The Austin, TX rental market is collapsing before our eyes. With the median apartment rent dropping 15% over the last 2+ years. The vacancies have skyrocketed. Rental concessions are everywhere. Rents are now only 9.8% higher than pre-pandemic. Meaning that many Austin
