TD Economics reports that grads from highly ranked universities have the lowest retention rates in 🇨🇦, particularly in the first five years after graduation.

Earlier this year, we hit the UofT campus to ask students:

"Do you plan on staying in Canada after you graduate?"

An exceptional discussion between Tom Jenkins and John Stackhouse on Agentic AI, enterprise transformation, data sovereignty, and the urgent need for Canada to step up. Big shout out as well to Shannon Bell, who co-author the book entitled the Agentic AI Genome for Canada who will continue this important conversation at the @Empire_Club launch of COU’s AI Task Force Report on May 29. #AI #AgenticAI @MartinBasiri @StackhouseJohn @OpenText @OntUniv https://t.co/OU27ZbZAJV

I got my wife some flowers, I gave one of the roses to our building security. He smiled and said he hasn’t gotten a flower for a very long time. He said I thought men only get flowers on their funeral!
Damn it! The sentence he said is heavy!

@KanwarSierah Great analysis, 600k of the works permits are humanitarian work permits that issued to Ukrainians (400k), Iranians(110k), and other nationalities (90k). IRCC gives a new work permit or extension for another two or three years when these work permits expires.

A man rammed a truck into a synagogue that houses a children’s daycare.

Kids were inside.

Don’t spin this into politics.
Don’t make it about foreign policy.

It’s a daycare in a Jewish community center.

That should horrify everyone.

In my opinion, if you're unsure about what to study, consider pursuing Electrical Engineering. You will learn complex subjects that enhance your ability to learn quickly. EE is enjoyable, and you'll also gain knowledge in system design. Additionally, I believe the next exciting wave of companies will be hardware and AI.

Dear @elonmusk,
You are working on Direct‑to‑Cell service that connects normal smartphones directly to low‑Earth‑orbit satellites with no extra dish.

Please consider activating this service, even as a test, over Iran’s airspace. It would help millions of Iranians under severe internet shutdowns and also help your project discover real‑world problems faster in one of the toughest environments.

Iranians will remember who stood by them when their internet was taken away.

[Martin Basiri @MartinBasiri]

This is, I believe, the single greatest threat to Canada’s long-term prosperity and survival. Canadians over 65 now outnumber those under 20 — and the trend is only accelerating.

Media should refer to the Islamic Republic and not Iran.

Iran and the Iranian people are different than the terrorist Islamic Republic.

The Islamic Republic are occupiers of the Iranian people.

@PhilSmith26 Directly correlated with Goverment Deficits. US started 7% of GDP average deficit vs 1% Canada around 2009 and they kept going. Which one is better, productivity or Deficit? I ask this question every time I see the US VS Canada graphs

@harleyf @khamenei_ir Thanks!

Congratulations everyone, @khamenei_ir, the Hitler of our time is dead!

@harleyf Free Iran will be awesome
