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

I’m here for it.

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.

Canada should become the world's most AI-literate nation.

This means every Canadian worker will use AI tools as naturally as they use email. Every government department will integrate AI to improve effectiveness and efficiency. Every entrepreneur will build companies powered by AI from day one.

One mark of a mature adult is defending the right of other people to do things you personally consider repugnant.

After today if you’re anti Elon that means you’re pro Trump right? 🤔

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

And surely you’re aware that wealth-inequality is not a measure of quality? It must be coupled with poverty rates, median income, and/or absolute income.

Is a society where everyone is wealthy & healthy yet some are more-so bad?

Is a society where everyone is equally impoverished good?

What’s the downside of raising the wealth floor and giving every child access to experiencing compounding wealth?

This seems like a win?

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...

Mission-Focused Mandate Letters

We've taken the Liberal Party's platform and transformed them into practical plans – concise, direct, measurable and entirely mission-focused.

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.

buildcanada.com @buildcanada.com · Apr 22

At Build Canada, we help builders share their ideas for a bolder, richer, freer country. We wanted to know how people felt about these proposals so we commissioned a survey.

The results are clear: Canadians are ready to build.

I’m trying my best to use @bsky.app

This is the primary reason it’s difficult

A lot of people on this site seem deeply angry and unhappy, and the posting and posting and posting just makes them more so -- it doesn't bring any relief.
