Alberta separatists: if your ideology is so repugnant to your country, maybe it's time to reconsider your ideology instead of burning your country to the ground? www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

*Any* politician who calls a supervised drug injection site a "government drug den" is not a serious person. Sometimes policies that appear to contradict "common sense" are the best way forward, backed up by facts not feelings. #canpoli

13 years ago today I co-created the world's first weekly tv show dedicated to these things called "apps". Imagine trying to pitch that show today?

Huh. Me, too. I’ve been transposing letters and misreading words since I got COVID 2 years ago. I chalked it up to age. Anyone else suffering this?

Toronto, let’s #LoveLocal! It's time to stand united with small businesses and local suppliers & manufacturers that need our support during these economic times. Let’s keep our dollars in our communities. Learn more: toronto.ca/Tariffs 🍁 #TeamCanada #MadeInCanada

Canada has its own problem with #Nazi politicians. We must beat them back under the rocks from whence they came. #canpoli

7 years ago today I walked away from a cushy network anchor job to reinvent myself after 30 years in lecacy media. Today I have clients from around the world for whom I tell interesting stories in an engaging and dynamic way. Lessons learned thread:

Reality has a well-known liberal bias. - Colbert

Trump's trade threats seen in Canada's 33K drop in employment will be just the beginning of the flood of pink slips. Consumer spending has softened less than consumer confidence, but the figures pre-date his "tariff penguins" nonsense. RBC is calling for another rate cut this month. #elbowsup

Hey, Toronto Star: Nobody cares how these two billionaires who made their fortune off essential meds died. Read the room. Put that energy into fighting Canada’s growing fascist threat, please.
