Government procurement in Canada is broken. We are building to fix it.

There is such a strange irony to having super-intelligence at your fingertips and still having to tell it to use Gemini 3.0 Flash instead of 2.0 EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

@nummanali I think the criticism of the learning of the LLMs to be better sycophants is valid. However, all existing recommendation algorithms do this already - TikTok, Instagram, Google, even X. I think it's inaccurate to say this has never happened before.

Looks like we may be about to get the most epic season of The Apprentice ever. @realDonaldTrump

@elonmusk And now its removed. It's called learning. That actually reflects positively, not negatively, on them.

@EricDLombardi i had so many typos in that, goddamn

I lived beside Badiali's at 158 dovercourt for 2 years. It was such good vibes to see, what I believe, was the utopia Canada can be. The diversity in that line was exceptional. Every Canadian, from every where, coming to enjoy something we all love, Pizza. This woman should move to oakville :).

@PhillipsPOBrien It doesn't do well with the algo

This is so funny and wrong.

I am against the crazy amount of non-permit immigration we have had over the past few years, but I am also against someone stupidly misinterpreting a graph, and the world's smartest man retweeting it on a whim.

The graph on the website is permit holders at the end of the year. It is already 'cumulative'. The guy who tweeted added all the years together, which is just wrong.

It is crazy, true, and too much, that we had 2.1M people holding temporary work permits at the end of 2024, but it is a far cry from 15M.

@Harry__Faulkner This is going to come back and bite him.

@paulg All the people shitting on you right now clearly didn't have that much fun in college ;). I could not agree with you more!

@CanadianPolling no

@CanadianPolling The popular vote is 52 v 40 right now according to the actual results this is so early and irrelevant at this point and strategically

I think the dub there is pushing back on the question. PP loves to take issue with the questions he's asked, Carney should have taken the same approach - "This is a waste of our time and not a critical issue during an election where we have existential challenges. Next Question."

@zach_yadegari Humility❌

@CPC_HQ Lol this genuinely plays like an NDP ad

This is despicable.

DL Canada is an epic place to build a startup right now.

We have world-class talent coming out of our universities. Sure, some graduates head south, but most stay here, and they're brilliant.

At the same time, the financial advantages are real:
- Sell to the US but build your team in Canada = automatic 40% discount on salaries
- SR&ED tax credits give you 30-65% off engineering costs
- Lower customer acquisition costs in our less competitive market
- Similar market to the US but easier to gain initial traction

American competitors won't bother with us until they've dominated at home.

That gives Canadian startups room to breathe, build, and win locally before taking on the US.

I'm not saying we're better than San Francisco.
We're not. Nowhere in the world is.

But you can absolutely build a meaningful, successful business right here, and there are real structural advantages for doing so.

According to Garry Tan, YC companies that move to the US are 2.5x more likely to become unicorns.

Following the data is important, but this is a lagging indicator. The best entrepreneurs don't follow well-worn paths, they create new ones.

Stop complaining about building in Canada and start seeing the opportunity.

Win here first, then take on the world.
