Toronto's intersections could be so much better.

If you've driven, walked, cycled or taken transit in Toronto, you've probably been frustrated by them. Whether that's a green light that's too short for all the demand to clear, or advancing on a green only to be hit by a red at the next block.

Build Canada is entering a new phase:

We started out this year as a small group of volunteers who wanted to make Canada the most prosperous country in the world – the best place to build a company, a career, a life.

congrats to PM @MarkJCarney and to all who ran, volunteered, engaged, participated, and voted. Democracy is a wonderful gift.

Prime Minister & team - please quickly enact policies to Build Canada - as you promised.

Canadians - heads down and let’s give’er. We have a country to build.

don’t forget electronic music marginalia

no sweat. we can all get heated online and certainly in election time. tbh i appreciate u believing me! 🙏

welcome home

hey chud here - only heard of this Yarvin guy a month ago. i certainly don’t follow him.

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…

some awesome volunteers have cranked so you can learn how the gov’t spends your money

thanks to all of them 🫡🙏❤️🇨🇦

it’s been freaking fantastic tbh! anyhow Joe - i can tell u r upset but really - we won’t make this country better by name calling. i wish you well.

okaaay then. it’s great we can exchange thoughtful ideas on policy and debate the merits. Thanks for this enlightening exchange.

Left out of the story:

- BC aims to have scale builders sponsor papers.

- We have actively reached out to women who have built and lead scale business to contribute their ideas.

- There are papers in the pipeline where women are the sponsors.

we’re assholes for volunteering time to try and share policy ideas to help grow the country?! Sheesh 🤦🏻

always leave the party when it’s great.

u called it, sadly

Brighter Futures: Giving Every Child a Head-Start Fund With modest changes to Old Age Security, we can create a wealth fund that gives every child $10,000 at birth, available for use towards things like education starting at 18.

what are we trying to do?
get people to consider and discuss bold ideas like this:

Given what’s happening in the world - Canada’s government has to reset its priorities, operations and mindset.

This is a way to do it and regain the trust of the people.

yes: a strong endorsement of public led review, hard choices, transparency, talent density, smart use of technology, and prioritization so we can have the most productive and effective government in the world.

well worth the read.

before you freak out…

no: not an endorsement of chaos, non-democratic actors, unconstitutional actions etc.

reminds me i need to haunt you

no, you should not. not happening.

@jessebrown.bsky.social @trondizzle.bsky.social

To me, these calls are shocking.

These are not ideological partisans. They care deeply about public service. They don't want to "run gov't like a business". They just want good government, run well & effectively in the service of Canadians. It's not that right now.

"It took 2 years and 30% of another managers time to terminate one seriously underperforming person".

"My performance has never been assessed on program outcomes. Instead, its politics."

“Everything starts and is focused with a EDI lens. You can't do anything without Gender-Based Analysis+. The mission comes second."

"Risk tolerance is so low its led to paralysis"

"Follow the rules, forget about the outcomes"
