My business uses Canada Post all the time. Great rates and they ship everywhere, literally everywhere, in Canada. UK Royal Mail privatized in 2013 - service tanked, prices went up and it was sold to a foreign billionaire in 2024. We can do better in Canada.

The pre-2020 headline is finally off the endangered list.

A man waits nearly a year for regulated psilocybin therapy to ease end-of-life distress and is denied. He applies for MAiD and is approved in 3 weeks. Bureaucracy moves fast when it wants to.

This is the first Prime Minister in my life time where the Red Tories and Blue Liberals in my family agree that they like the same guy.

It might seem like overkill but if we get another round of snow in Toronto - this is a genius level buy.

I think planning for a US civil war is much more of an urgent priority than planning for a potential US invasion of Canada. Borders, trade, humanitarian crises... how will Canada cope?

Canada's Conservative Party is denying press credentials to media outlets while handing out 'content creator' passes to partisan personalities. This is a tactic straight from the USA's White House. @nationalobserver.com | www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/24/a...

Remember that 2025 polling shows only 9% of Canadians actually want to separate. Starting now, there are going to be a lot of new accounts on X and Facebook claiming otherwise.

My next LinkedIn post: Why Mark Carney's WEF speech about middle powers glowing up is actually just Canada's Eurovision pitch.

This is an artifact. Doug Ford before he became Ontario premier, opposite Avi Lewis before he became leader of the NDP (probably), with Evan Solomon anchoring, before he became a federal cabinet minister.

We didn't need a study for this - but here it is anyway.

Government leaders in Nunavut say that it is a good idea to show support for Greenland as annexation threats continue to come from the United States. APTN’s Justin Hardy has more.

Wow. Since 2020 we've lived in unprecedented times and this feels even less precedented than normal.

Vancouver-based Hootsuite is providing its social media management and monitoring technology to the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at a time when DHS is facing criticism over its violent immigration enforcement tactics. @joshscott.bsky.social in @betakit.com | betakit.com/hootsuite-dh...

That any elected official is happy to refuse money for affordable housing just to score culture war points should be an indicator for the federal housing minister that they need harsher ultimatums. Honour the deals you signed or lose it.

One of the craziest videos coming out of Iran today appears to show one obscenely brave man trying to hold the door, protecting his fellow dissidents, as a band of regime thugs try to break in. (Reportedly filmed January 7)

In November 2025, 56% of Yukon voters said YES to electoral reform. Currie Dixon's Yukon Party told them to pound sand. Most political parties use ranked ballots to choose their own leaders. They know it works. But they won't give voters the same system. Read | yukon-news.com/2026/01/03/2...

Most business owners want to create good jobs - but our biggest costs keep spiking. Avg. retail rent in Toronto jumped from $19/sq ft to $49/sq ft between 2019 - 2024. That's a job, business and economy killer. We need to get this under control so Canada's small businesses can invest in workers.

At the @ndp.ca debate tonight. Youth unemployment is serious & small biz can't afford to hire. My biz insurance 3x'ed in 2024 = no summer hires. NDP needs to bring in small biz to build job solutions. @avilewis.ca @votetanille.bsky.social @heathermcpherson.bsky.social @tonymcquailndp.bsky.social

AI-generated “synthetic respondents” can now pass the vast majority of fraud, attention, logic, and CAPTCHA checks used in opt-in online survey-based polling. They can do this cheaply and at scale. Often without being detected. (1/3)

A truly heartwarming investigation ❤️❤️

A sincerely thank you to @anotherglassbox.bsky.social for being a real champion on neighbourhood retail in Toronto. It's weird we needed one for *corner stores* but there was and is nobody better for this fight.

Yeah, it's the rent. Between 2019-2024, retail rents in Toronto spiked by 142%. Data - betterwayalliance.ca/the-fixed-co...

I'm hardly a hardcore free-market libertarian, but it does seem like the reality of market forces should be a bigger part of this debate. The basic reason you don't need to worry about a 24/7 bar/potshop/noise-making emporium setting up on a small street is basically "there's no demand for it."

These are absurd timelines for installing speed bumps and doing road redesigns. Twelve motions to investigate speed bumps? Sixteen months to install? A decade for a road redesign? www.thestar.com/news/gta/dou...

I don’t have a whole lot of advice for people younger than me but the earlier in life you stop worrying about what other people will think and just wholeheartedly enjoy the stuff you like the happier you’ll be

"David Fleming says 267 square foot units like this tend to be built with investors, not tenants, in mind. 'No one is able to pull that off nowadays, which really makes me curious who are these condos for?'" They're for investors. Story coming in post 2 👇👇 ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/...

"Back in early 2020, about 11% of Amazon’s job postings were in offshore locations. The percentage started climbing during the pandemic hiring boom and just… kept going. By 2023, it had hit 20%. Today? Nearly 28%." Offshoring, not AI, is displacing US jobs at Amazon bloomberry.com/blog/amazons...

The budget. It puts $5 billion into “health infrastructure,” which sounds like healthcare funding. But is it? My breakdown for Canada Healthwatch looks at what’s new, what’s missing, and why health is now being framed as infrastructure.

I wonder how this changes over the next 3 months. "Which of the following politicians do you think is to blame for Canada not having reached an agreement with the United States to reduce tariffs since the last election?" Empirical Intelligence poll data - empiricalintelligence.ca/budgetsurvey...
