A privilege to have my ideas on jumpstarting municipal investment returns profiled by

Millions more can be generated for local needs just by managing municipal assets like a mature order of govt or a public sector pension fund. #onpoli #cdnpoli

A weekly average of $1.2 billion in grains and fertilizer has come to a standstill on just one rail line. With fall being a seasonally high-traffic period for grains, this disruption couldn’t have come at a worse time.

In the U.S., ETA is gaining traction, with influencers and entrepreneurs like @Codie_Sanchez advocating for the acquisition of “boring businesses.” As this movement grows, it serves as an inspiring blueprint for Canadian entrepreneurs.

After holding steady for most of 2024, Canadian job postings dipped in May, and now stand where they did in Feb-2020 (seasonally adjusted).

I don't think this is flashing red for the job market (would need to see more of a trend), just a sign that the cool down continues.

@6ixbuzztv My (#homeless) friend Warren, used to panhandle here. I used to chat with Warren 3 nights a week on my way back from class at @CityBuildingTMU. My friendship with Warren began because I saw him picking up other people's litter. I walked over to thank him & asked if he was hungry.

Glad to see Mayor @_MarkSutcliffe and the @ottawacity commit improving their investment returns with @IMCOinvest. Four years ago I wrote the following piece on how Ontario municipalities could maximize their investment returns with IMCO to support local needs.
