I'm in the news for not winning $10,000 www.ctvnews.ca/business/art...

Last night I had the worst emotional journey I've ever experienced due to a company emailing me. The fuck up came courtesy of @wealthsimple.bsky.social who emailed me saying I'd won $10,000 in their "Monthly Millionaire" contest. #wealthsimple #badPR #bankerror

I was reading up on this SpaceX IPO. S&P 500 is doing the right thing to not accelerate to the index. I think it's basically a con game for Musk. The world's richest man is manipulating markets to steal money from literally everyone.

Is unfettered capitalism egregious yet? www.bbc.com/news/article...

#NationalAccessAbilityWeek is a reminder but, for those with disabilities, accessibility is daily life—not a one-week issue. If your business wants to be more accessible, there are practical ways to get there. Reach out if you have questions. #A11y #DisabilityInclusion #DigitalAccessibility

Websites are public spaces, and need to be accessible—by law. Not just image descriptions and video captions. There are over 80 success criteria in the W3C's WCAG guidelines. It means better user experience for everyone, on top of being in compliance with regulations. #NationalAccessAbilityWeek

Making media accessible benefits everyone. Subtitles are used by: ➡️ 80% of Gen Zs, ➡️ 64% of Millennials, ➡️ 50% of all TV viewers. It's not just good, it's good business! This #NationalAccessAbilityWeek remember accessibility is not an add-on. It is how Canada works for everyone. Stats: BBC,Preply

#NationalAccessAbilityWeek is important—but those with a disability don't need a themed week to remind ourselves that barriers exist. It's an opportunity for Canadians to step back and ask if you're creating or ignoring a barrier. Accessibility is not an add-on—it's how Canada works for everyone.

Being hard-of-hearing, accessibility is not an side issue for me. It affects whether I can follow a meeting, understand a video, or participate in a conversation. 27% of Canada is not a niche—it's a major part of the country. I'm proud to work for @scribewire.ca—making media accessible all day long.

This is like an inefficient company. Let’s schedule a meeting to ask the question: should we schedule another meeting to ask a question? Except where a handful of the dumbest people at the company got together and convinced the CEO to add the question to the agenda, and she did just to shut them up.

Watching the 🇨🇦🇺🇸 #GoldMedal game from the ER was not on my bingo card. But knowing I would leave owing only $20 for parking, while millions of Americans go bankrupt from medical debt, was a good reminder that we still win where it actually matters. #CANvsUSA

The #Greenland talk, like the 51st state nonsense, is just Trump “Art of the Deal” negotiation theatre. Outrageous ask, relentless pressure, and drive the other side to concede something smaller just to end the spectacle. #uspoli

Time-saving 🎃 idea: Dress up as a Jays pitcher, stand on the porch, and just pitch candy at approaching children. #GoJays ⚾️ @bluejays.com

Punctuation changes everything.

Whatever your opinion on Israel-Palestine: if you can't differentiate between the Palestinian people and Hamas, or between Jewish people and the state of Israel, you have no business feigning understanding of the conflict, nor of anyone's foreign policy on recognizing Palestine.

Listen—I've been using em dashes and en dashes – correctly – for a long time. Just because ChatGPT just figured it out, doesn't mean everything you receive that uses one is AI generated. Don't punish me for knowing my option keys—lest I have to become a double-dash person. #grammar

No surprises here—he wrote a book about how he negotiates. His "art of the deal" can be summarized as: start with unreasonable demands, throw a tantrum to wear them down, then feign making a concession to what you actually wanted. Like children do. #uspoli #cdnpoli www.wsj.com/world/americ...

If you’re having a bad day, just remember that Poilievre has to watch the speech from the throne from the gallery. #SpeechFromTheThrone

The problem is the Leafs aren’t a hockey team. They’re a group of individually talented hockey players all wearing the same jersey. #LeafsForever #StanleyCup

Ok… I’m an Oilers bandwagon fan now. Need a Canadian team to win.

NGL I’ll probably be a bandwagon Oilers fan by 11pm tonight. #LeafsForever (except past round 2). @edmontonoilers.bsky.social

The irony is that the #StanleyCup lives a block north of where the team with the longest cup drought plays. The Leafs will probably have to heist it before they hoist it. #LeafsForever (for some reason).

As someone with a disability, days like this mean an increase to the already daily reminders of how inaccessible some things still are. Particularly disheartening as a programmer, though, seeing this statistic barely change, knowing just how easy it is to make things accessible. #gaad #a11y

Our electoral system is broken, and yes I know it’s not the fault of NDP voters. But, if you know your car is broken, and you know it’s going to break down on you, do you drive it into a bad storm with your family inside? Or do you get a loaner until it’s fixed? #cdnpoli @fairvote.ca

Thank you, NDP, for electing so many Conservatives. Great job! 😑 #cdnpoli

I think so much better of Poilievre for conceding. I wasn't sure he would. Our democracy is strengthened by that.

The one thing the NDP did excel at this election was electing Conservatives. #cdnpoli

My 2022 prediction: ✅ Trudeau Resigns ❌ PM Freeland ✅ Embarassing PP defeat ⏰ PP resigns (he can’t not) 🤷‍♂️ Cons split ✅ Singh still leader (going into the election anyway) ❌NDP gaining seats 😬 #cdnpoli #elxn45

Kudos to Poilievre for congratulating Carney, and for insisting that he must, despite the boos. #elxn45 #cdnpoli

I can’t wait to never hear PP’s voice again. #cdnpoli #elxn45

Poilievre will have to get a real job now. #cdnpoli

Elon Musk is Trump’s Goebbels, and Stephen Miller is his Himmler.

Institute of Fiscal Studies and Democracy (IFSD) assessment of costed party platforms: 🔴Liberal: ✅Good (80%) 🔵Conservative: 🫤Pass (76%) 🟠NDP: 😑Pass (70%) www.policymagazine.ca/ifsds-fiscal... #elxn45 #cdnpoli

PP’s ads are so tone-deaf it’s hilarious. Two boomers at a driving range complaining that the housing market they inflated has impacted their kids. Or ex-PM Geppetto Harper, the reason for 10 Liberal years, touting his Pinocchio as change—and teaching him how to smile, apparently. #cdnpoli #elxn45

Hey Mainstreet, your bias is showing. #elxn45 #cdnpoli @mainstresearch.bsky.social

This is Poilievre’s 9th election, let that sink in, 9th, this is Mark Carney’s 1st. Who is the change candidate, hmmm, let me think🇨🇦

Poilievre kept repeating talking points, saying “vote for change”. HE’S BEEN IN PARLIAMENT FOR 20 YEARS! He was part of the Harper gov’t in power for a decade with the worst economic record, worst jobs growth since WWII. The highest trade deficits in Canadian history! That’s not change! #Debate2025

His closing statement was almost word for word one of his commercials.

Banker or wanker. Your choice, Canada. #cdnpoli #elxn45

Poilievre is banking on a desire for change, but over-relying on Carney not being that change. 29 times in the debate he referred to: last decade x10, Trudeau/Liberal promises x7, or just straight change x12. Much to PP's chagrin, Carney isn't Trudeau, and people do see him as change. #cdnpoli

Can't wait for tonight's recap. Here's one perspective on the French debate. #Debate2025 #elxn45 #cdnpoli

Ironically I counted 10 times Poilievre referenced the last decade in some way. #Debate2025 #elxn45 #cdnpoli

I don't think this debate will move the needle on the polls at all. Same guys saying the same things they've been saying for 3 weeks. Nothing new, no one stood out. #Debate2025 #elxn45 #cdnpoli

Poilievre's "gag order" excuse re security clearance is an admission of ignorance, and that he states opinion as fact. Clearance would both expose him to the truth, and prevent him from lying about it—so it's nothing more than plausible deniability allowing him to lie. #cdnpoli #Debate2025

Politics aside – as a disabled Canadian who relies on captions – I am personally offended by the constant, interrupting during the debate, primarily by Jagmeet Singh, inconsiderately making political participation inaccessible to me. #Debate2025 #elxn45 #cdnpoli

You can hear the wheels in PP's head screeching as he tries to steer every answer towards a talking point or a slogan. #Debate2025 #elxn45 #cdnpoli
