I spoke at the Vancouver AI & Blockchain Summit last Friday and got the chance to share @allscaleio with our mayor @KenSimCity.

Vancouver is so proud to have a mayor that understands the principles and potentials of a non-custodial neobanks. Vancouver is the best livable city in NA, and will also be one of the most crypto-friendly cities in NA in the future!

🚨 Former Bank of Canada Governor EXPOSES the TRUTH about tariffs

Retaliation = TAX on 🇨🇦
Interprovincial trade barriers add 22% to costs - removal adds 4-7% to GDP offsetting 🇺🇸 tariffs

Gov’t pushing retaliation BAD🇨🇦

Doing nothing BETTER

In the spirit of the holidays, just thought someone from @VSB39 could respond: seriously? This is what our principle at school sent out after learning that students and parents were to send a Xmas card to thank the teachers
Wish everyone a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!🎄🎉🎁

@vikkhanna @VanDPAC Congrats Vik! Look forward to the great leadership.

[D. S. Silver @DSSilver2]

@SaveMACC2022 Excluding vulnerable families from access also shrinks the program. Hard not to see this as part of an overall @VSB39 "end of life" strategy for MACC. #savemacc

[D. S. Silver @DSSilver2]

Ensuring equitable access for a vulnerable student population is absolutely a governance issue.

[Save MACC @savemacc]

@Jessivator @VSB39 @janetrfraser VSB: Every student deserves access to unique learning opportunities.
Parents: My child cannot access your program without bus transportation because I have to work.
VSB: Oh I meant students whose parents can drive their kids deserve access to unique learning opportunities.

[Jessica Wang @Jessivator]

@SaveMACC2022 @VSB39 @janetrfraser Wasn't the whole reason behind "revisioning MACC" to make it more equitable and inclusive? If that goal was worth vsb's budget spent in all the PR campaign and outside consultant for 6 months, why turn around and deny Special Needs kids basic accessibility?

[Save MACC @savemacc]

... and what they've gotten for all of this good citizenry is basically a "Go to hell" from the VSB board chair. Is this what democracy looks like?

[Jessica Wang @Jessivator]

@SaveMACC2022 @VSB39 This is crazy. So now after trying (not succefully) to cancel MACC, they're just gonna chip away at the program integrity so much that new parents with special needs children would be discouraged to come?😡

[Save MACC @savemacc]

@VSB39 opened MACC intake for grade 4 but has designed it to be SO unattractive:

❌ no bussing
⁉️1 class of gr 4-7
⁉️Only until gr. 6
⁉️Forfeit spot in current school
❓no solution for gr 7 when MACC ends

It’s an impossible choice for families.

@vikkhanna This is a typical self-fulfilling prophecy leading to downward spiral of our public ed: @VSB39 "we're losing kids"👉🏼cut resource 👉🏼quality&choice of public education decline👉🏼more parents go private 👉🏼@vsb39: "well we're losing kids"

“Youth in our society don’t have many rights, they’re infantilized” ~BCCLA policy director Meghan McDermott has been demanding Eric Hamber & VSB recognize students rights.
