You have vastly over estimated my need to appear agreeable and “calm.” I don’t care if you call me an unhinged man-eating, ball-busting, bitch feminist it it means a single Canadian woman is now aware of Mark Carney’s strategy to roll back the status of Women in Canada 🇨🇦 50 years. So carry on.

It isn’t the criminality and corruption that will spell the end of the United States. It will be the complacency and acquiescence.

I’ve seen the new Superman movie twice now.

It’s fantastic, but of course you have to be able to suspend your disbelieve.

I don’t mean about a man from another planet being able to fly and all that super power stuff.

I mean that the evil, powerful billionaire faces real consequences at the end.

The friction line is always specific. Always visceral. Always a removal.

Stop Naming the Dream Name the Demand You’ve been sold the lie that vision sells. It doesn’t. Not to the people who matter. Not to the market that feeds you. Not to the ones with the budget and the authority to change yo...

Stop naming what you want.
Start naming what they can’t stand.

Nobody pays for your ambition.
They pay for the problem you delete.

Name the demand, and the market will find you.

The report paints a fairly concerning picture of future congestion in Halifax. Something that won’t be fixed by getting rid of bike lanes.

Province refuses to release early results of its Alberta Next surveys Postmedia sought early replies to surveys around an Alberta pension plan and immigration but the province has refused to release the results

Remember how the UCP claimed they were re-writing the Freedom of Information Act to make it more transparent?

About that.

In a shock to no one, it was about doing exactly the opposite.

Most acquisition entrepreneurs operate like hunters. They chase, they aim, they take the shot.

The ones who will own this decade are architects.

The Silent Collapse And the Ones Who Will Own What’s Left Walk down any main street in North America and you’ll see it. The faded signage over a 40-year-old business. The owner’s name painted on the door. The lights st...

They think the opportunity is buying the business.

It’s not.

It’s owning the seat that sees every deal before it has a price tag.

Hopelessness is when you stop fighting for better, when you stop believing in better. You may be exhausted and sad but if you still want better, you’re not hopeless.

Good questions. A necessary conversation.

I had a great discussion on @thepaikinpodcast.bsky.social about Gloves Off. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFIk...

I unlocked the paywall.

Copy the content of the CivicOS article into ChatGPT, or Claude, or Perplexity, or whatever you use, and see if it applies to your business, your town, or your community.

I'm building the tool for a project where I really need to understand the needs, wants, and challenges in a small community, so that I can ask the right questions as we build the project.

And that communication needs to be accurate, timely, and real.

Thank you! Appreciate the read, as always.

I see the application layer more as a method of connecting the stakeholder to governance in a meaningful way, than being the governance itself.

It is an AI leveraged tool. Everything I so is designed so that you can drop it into whatever bot you use.

Action begins when belief is followed by motion.

Speak up if you have thoughts on this one. :)

CivicOS The System That Ends Drift I want to know what the members of my community, think, feel, and how they experience life. I need to know so that I can plan, and build. I'm working on an application lay...

CivicOS ends drift.

Every issue becomes a motion. Act, or it dies.

Every voice is scheduled. Every vote is staked. Every action is logged.

No committees. No stall.

Just consequence.

Governance, compressed.

Why doesn't Canada already have a stronger relationship with Mexico? | CBC News "There's a historic reluctance by Canada to engage seriously with Mexico," said Carleton University professor Laura Macdonald. "And there's a tendency for them to fail when they try to work together."

I'd be embarrassed to write a piece like this and fail to mention racism. Does no one remember Harper's approach to Mexico?

Europe's humiliation is a comms strategy – and that's the problem - Euractiv Ostentatious humiliation may bring Europe some breathing space in the short term. But that will be worthles unless we effectively and jointly reduce dependency on the US.

The US is not safe to visit. What a remarkable and utterly depressing fact. Six months…

1/ Article I of the US Constitution involves powers of Congress.

As of a few minutes ago, several sections have been deleted from the Constitution on the gov't's website, suggesting some things don't need congressional approval.

Key things, like:
