Happy to see @desmog.com reporting that @liberalca.bsky.social is listening to quality policy ideas and adopting them. In this case, from @buildcanada.com Turns out good ideas cross partisan lines and come from within and outside government Terrific endorsement 🏗️🇨🇦 www.desmog.com/2025/12/08/m...

A year ago I struggled to imagine 🇨🇦 expressing the will, urgency, or need to prepare itself for what will happen over the the next few years. @buildcanada.com has created that movement. And this memo by @ddebow.bsky.social perfectly captures how we can get there.

I heard from outside the echo-chamber that we’ve hit peak blueskyism. I’m here for it.

This team just can’t stop shipping incredible products for Canadians. Go @buildcanada.com go! 🏗️🇨🇦

This was a lot of fun to work on. Can’t wait to see where it leads to.

This one is a banger. It’s shocking how many Canadians remain skeptical of AI. Why would you choose to show up at work and ask for a “Last Place” badge? The same can be asked of a country. Thankfully it seems 🇨🇦 is hustling for the podium.

One mark of a mature adult is defending the right of other people to do things you personally consider repugnant. h/t @read.lukeburgis.com

After today if you’re anti Elon that means you’re pro Trump right? 🤔 Sorry, I don’t make the rules.

The United States Government will begin giving every child $1000 at birth and let me tell you, Bluesky is absolutely livid.

Reflecting on even @rutgerbregman.com acknowledging that Bluesky is a honeypot for the unhinged purity police. I’d love to see Bluesky make it. Not sure what it will take though.

To that end, the Build Canada team has worked with entrepreneurs in our network to craft mandate letters for specific ministries that we believe will help transform the party’s policy agenda into action. Read them here: www.buildcanada.com/memos/mandat...

Read the full survey findings here: www.buildcanada.com/memos/ready-...

I’ll admit the signal of these survey results was stronger than I would have expected. Turns out a strong majority of Canadians are united around a shared desire to build.

I’m trying my best to use @bsky.app This is the primary reason it’s difficult

I should probably make more of an effort criticizing the efforts of those I care very little of. I could spend more time posting about why I think it’s unfortunate that in an individual who received a full pension at age 31 may become our Prime Minister.

Let’s take a look at how Norway's wealth tax, initially projected to generate $146 million annually, instead resulted in a $448 million yearly loss. paragraph.com/@hagaetc/nor...

If I had never used canadaspends.com to explore data about 🇨🇦 gov't spending, I would read this article by @jenstden.bsky.social and be left wondering if they are the baddies But I have explored the data, and I know a little about the people behind it So I guess I’m left wondering about @thetyee.ca

that “spokesperson” is me for the record, i think i’ve heard of “the network state” like twice before Jen mentioned it to me. It’s not related to @build_canada in any way. Sheesh. 🤦🏻 I want a thriving democracy, POGG, and growing prosperity for everyone - not a “network state” whatever that is…

And by over the coming months, I meant over the coming hours. What a feeling to wake up to a non-trivial increase in work performance, efficiency, and velocity. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq8G...

There’s a very real possibility that over the coming months we will gain access to ChatGPT o3-pro, after which my career will once again completely change.

I just learned that two weeks ago, the nine year old completed all his in class math work. His classmates are on page 10. While his class continues to go through their work, for the past two weeks he’s been playing Go Fish with another kid. Thanks www.synthesis.com/tutor 🤷‍♂️

Communicating with dolphins is going to be crazy. I wonder how initial dolphin ⇔ human trade relations will go. I’m also curious how people will react to dolphin ⇔ human trade relations. blog.google/technology/a...

Gen AI is going to irrevocably transform the creative industry. AI can already write scripts, compose music, design game levels, and create videos. And the tech is only getting better. www.buildcanada.com/en/memos/cre...

This is an impressive tool allowing us to explore the platforms of the Libs and Cons regardless of whether they’ve launched a platform.

Let’s build a ton of SMRs It’s the only way we’ll meet 🇨🇦 energy demands.

Any Canadian founder who has followed how the best 🇺🇸 & 🇨🇦 startups operate understands that SR&ED has to go. SR&ED creates a number of negative incentives for 🇨🇦 startups. Incentives matter.

It's time to refocus. Canada now has the lowest GDP per capita growth in the G7. Government spending has ballooned 45% over the last decade. Our productivity has stagnated, our debt is climbing, and our economy is under threat from a trade war with the US. www.buildcanada.com/memos/produc...

Some of the world's brightest minds study in Canada. Yet, we're failing to build the housing to adequately house them. www.buildcanada.com/memos/studen...

AI trajectory is beginning to break into public discourse. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/14/t...

Because it’s easy for things to be lost in translation, what I’m looking for in my political content is the not-crazy not-insane left-wing/accidental-moderate variety.

Would it be better leaving a system running on one of the oldest computer languages, described in the article as “archaic”?

Polymarket aka one of the only “polls” that matters shows that over the past day, Carney has increased his likelihood of becoming Prime Minister of Canada.

I don’t have any Studio Ghibli images on my timeline here. What do I need to do to fix my BlueSky timeline? Help!

A federal election has just been called. This is a pivotal moment to determine Canada’s trajectory. Our economy has been stagnant for a decade with all indications it will only get worse. At the same time, we face the most consequential change to global relations since World War II.

We tax cigarettes to reduce smoking – why are we taxing housing to death during a housing crisis? When taxes can make up 36% of a new home, it's no wonder Canadians can't afford them.

Stay supportive as you and your friends navigate memetic traps.

Many are concerned about the energy use required for new AI datacenters. We’re building $500B datacenters today. It won’t be long till the first trillion-dollar datacenter breaks ground. The difference among those concerned is whether too much energy will be used, or not enough.

@kevinroose.com writing in the @nytimes.com “I believe that very soon — probably in 2026 or 2027, but possibly as soon as this year — one or more A.I. companies will claim they’ve created an artificial general intelligence, or A.G.I.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/14/t...

Are you confused or angry that others pay for X or drive a Tesla? Are you confused or upset that you’re morally judged for paying for X or driving a Tesla? It’s not about values misalignment. It’s about how we form our identities.

Just did my yearly order from @hyperpaper.me! Always amazing. Take your tablet/eink/remarkable to the next level with a CUSTOM calendar and planning PDF! 600+ pages, totally custom for ME. This is NOT sponsored. It's a one person small business. Lovely. hyperpaper.me

With OpenAI announcing o3 yesterday, even more people are ready to read this. And for those still not ready to read it, it will be here when you are. daveshap.substack.com/p/the-i-just...

We are so cooked. Luigi Mangione, the alleged UHC CEO assassin, is way too hot to bring those infected with ”But murdering CEOs is good right” back from the edge.

This is what the people building AI tools are telling us. You may like this. You may not like this. Regardless, it’s worth listening to and considering the first and second order effects on your life.

Just finished helping a friend negotiate the purchase of a taxidermied grizzly bear. What did you get done this week?

It wasn’t obvious we were moving towards an age of abundance, but there were signs.
