@Noahpinion Typical case of “continental projection” https://t.co/ws9a47uTBG

[David Oaklands @DavidOaklands]

Proposing a name for a very Canadian bug: “Continental Projection”.

Mapping American situations to Canada because we share a border.

Like any map projection, it becomes distorted the further north you stretch it.

@imkylelambert Is that the steel case series 2 chair? I got that but found it super uncomfortable and overpriced so I got one from Costco for 1/6 the price that’s way more comfortable.

@lucyhargreaves4 @build_canada You mentioned founders compensation but what about employee compensation? How can Canadian companies get top talent when they often pay ~15 to 30% less before currency conversion? Interested in your thoughts @lucyhargreaves4.

[David Oaklands @DavidOaklands]

@build_canada @ch402 Yes. And how can it not? The most competitive, largest market in the world is a short drive away.

@JefferyPetts Even better, we should just combine all provincial ID cards and SIN numbers. One primary key to rule them all!

@DSProudfoot @DrMichaelBonner @build_canada

[David Oaklands @DavidOaklands]

@JefferyPetts Yes

[David Oaklands @DavidOaklands]

@ABDanielleSmith Can we not just combine provincial ID and drivers license into the same card?

@terrynewman Great example of continental projection. https://t.co/ws9a47vrre

@terrynewman @grok how much money does McGill “contribute” to Israel? This is a flawed question so refine it further.

@amazingmap This is vastly over simplified. China has deserts. You can’t just do a 1:1 map.

[David Oaklands @DavidOaklands]

@Gaismair How do you define that?

[David Oaklands @DavidOaklands]

Interesting

[ib @Indian_Bronson]

250 years of continuously extinguishing the bottom ~2% of men who could not behave produced the modern Englishman and Anglo-American , who from the early 1700s to early 2000s almost entirely created the modern world.

@anthonyTkim @tobi Not for party elections though right? https://t.co/0iAifxc0Mt

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING NEWS

Nate was the favourite to be the leader of the Liberal Party of Ontario.

HE LOST THE NOMINATION.

He’s saying there was voter FRAUD!

People with no ID. Nothing.

His team said

“THEY’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT”

When Conservatives said this during the election, it was misinformation & conspiracy theories.

So which is it?

Were Conservatives right in calling out the same irregularities during the election?

Or is Nate, the Liberal MP & former cabinet Minister, a conspiracy theorist & engaging in misinformation?

@JJ_McCullough The maple leaf thing has always bothered me

[David Oaklands @DavidOaklands]

Saw this first hand at uni.

[Tom Quiggin @TomTSEC]

Just a guess, but flooding universities with low IQ students and hiring unqualified teachers who fit DEI profiles might have been a bad plan.

Will be interesting to see if any tech billionaires hand off to their kids.
