With CBC now having called all ridings it's time for the land-vs-people-vote animation.

Letter to a longtime friend upon being floored to learn of their intent to vote Conservative. I could not live with myself if I didn't write it. It's long, but may be useful to others. For context his main reasons were "woke ideology", housing, affordability, tough on crime. I expanded.

Shocker ... smh 🙄. Pierre Poilievre named #1 spreader of disinformation in Canada. Vote wisely 🇨🇦 cultmtl.com/2025/04/pier...

When it comes to voting for a politician, look for courage, kindness, and intelligence — in that order. Ask yourself: does the one I’m voting for have these qualities in abundance? For me, the answer is clear. #cdnpoli

Imagine if our tax system didn't take from work, but rewarded it. We could do that by eliminating income, property, and transfer taxes with land value tax, while improving the housing market. BC's land assessment was designed to do just this. Here's how it could work. 1/🧵

As I see it, all of these culture wars boil down to an inability to recognize whether information is kind and truthful. Kind and truthful teachers never ask you to trust them, but instead help you trust yourself.

In influencing others, example is not the main thing; it’s the only thing. -Albert Schweitzer

When I first came across OpenAI’s ChatGPT in 2022, I had witnessed something that was, in the words of Arthur C. Clarke, “indistinguishable from magic.” Like many revolutionary technologies, it can enhance human capabilities across a broad spectrum of industries.

Despite Canada's population growing 10M+, we now have 100K fewer entrepreneurs. SMB entrepreneurs are the backbone of our economy. We've seen again and again, people who benefit from a basic income have a greater ability to take risks and build new ventures. I'm one of them.

Some time ago, I remarked to a friend who looked up to Elon Musk that Elon — while being probably the greatest entrepreneur of our generation — was actually a bad person; a villain, in fact. But he wasn't always this way: sadly, he must have had a “fall from Grace” of some kind of another.

Building @onetask.me was hard last year (invested over six and a half hours per day *on average* throughout the entire year coding OneTask). I’m proud of the result, check it out (and we’re just getting started). onetask.me

I wish more people would realize that struggling with poverty and homelessness is not a moral failure. So many people look down on them for their struggles without realizing they're just one bad unforseen circumstance away from the same thing happening to them www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Food insecurity isn't just a food supply issue, it's an affordability and income issue. Housing insecurity isn't just a housing supply issue, it's a poverty and accessibility issue. #HousingForAll

Blaming homelessness on addiction and mental health issues has made it more about that instead of focusing on the real issue which is we've sadly made housing a privilege rather than a basic human right! Homelessness is not a people's choice, it's a POLICY choice‼️ #HousingForAll

So true. These so-called culture wars are but distractions from the things that matter: love, kindness, helpfulness.

Economic 'rent' is income from scarcity, not real production. We often build on others' work yet claim it as our own 'earnings.' The universal basic income community needs to start referring to this 'rent earnings' instead of income.

UBI isn't a handout, however an investment in human potential, nurturing creativity and well-being. Let's shift the narrative, recognizing its power to uplift society. #UniversalBasicIncome #InvestInPeople
