I wonder what company's software will be the first victim of AI Cancer. With the rush to replace developers with 'AI Prompters' we are losing the skill and deep knowledge of the systems we depend on every day. Like a cancer, the diseased AI code will grow, undetected until lethal

How many others are wondering about what exactly is in the new, 8. 3% smaller boxes of Alpen 'New Recipe' version of it's ORIGINAL RECIPE?

Hey @VW

PLEASE send some of your Golf-sized electric vehicles to Canada!

My 2018 e-Golf got totalled and you had NOTHING I could buy that wasn't a giant SUV or van.

I had to get a Chevy Bolt (ugh).

How about the new Polo or an ID.2 for CANADA!

I'd rather buy a VW than a BYD

@MarkJCarney Calgary is Canada's 4th largest city but we've had zero VIA Rail service for over 35 years!

Not everyone can drive or fly. Greyhound left in 2018.

We pay the same federal taxes as Montréalers but get zero investment back.

Will you bring VIA Rail back to Calgary? @coreyhoganyyc

@ABDanielleSmith Its clear that you want education on the cheap.

Albertans want quality education for all children-a serious and sincere investment in Alberta's next generation.

Teachers are the front line and will not be complicit in its further erosion.

Is your next action mass firings?

[SinglePOINT @SinglePOINTca]

@OmarAlghabra Omar,

When you were Transportation Minister why didn't you restore @VIA_Rail service to Calgary?

Greyhound left in 2018 and VIA left in 1989.

Don't the citizens of Canada's 4th largest city deserve national ground transportation links?

No matter who we vote for we get NOTHING

[SinglePOINT @SinglePOINTca]

@Amtrak CONGRATULATIONS!

Here in Calgary, we've been waiting 36 years for the return of our @VIA_Rail service.

I wonder what government will do it first? @liberal_party @NDP @CanadianGreens or the @CPC_HQ

FYI, Calgary has 500,000 more citizens than Mobile and New Orleans combined!

Hey @slimfast you've changed the formulation of your 'original' Chocolatey Royale shake.

When I called your 1-800 line I sat through a static-filled hold for 30+ minutes only to then encounter an aggressive agent who hung up on me.

After 32 years, consider this divorce notice.

[SinglePOINT @SinglePOINTca]

@CompletedStreet BAD IDEA!

This forces cyclists into the same lane as vehicles - needlessly and recklessly endangering us.

Its like you expect drivers to see and avoid cyclists who pop out in front of them to pass the narrowed roadway.

How many avoidable deaths will this 'safety design' cause?

[SinglePOINT @SinglePOINTca]

@KTeds @MarkJCarney @VIA_Rail What do you mean?

[SinglePOINT @SinglePOINTca]

@iceTyyc I totally agree Tom! It's also worth the extra few dollars to invest in a MIPS helmet-they have a yellow dot.

Even Calgary's urban parks hold nasty surprises sometimes...here's my drop down Edworthy Park Escarpment. Brain just fine, cracked / bent vertebrae and a broken finger.

@liberal_party You can earn my trust by restoring @VIA_Rail service to Calgary.

Canada's 4th largest city hasn't had any VIA Rail service in over 36 years!

Greyhound left in 2018.

Our closest train service is @Amtrak

Please restore what the @CPC_HQ took away from us two generations ago.

[SinglePOINT @SinglePOINTca]

Hey @liberal_party what is your plan for restoring @VIA_Rail service to Calgary?

Canada's 4th largest city hasn't had any VIA Rail service in over 36 years!

Your promise of free rides for children rings hollow when we have no trains.

Please restore what the @CPC_HQ cut in 1989

[SinglePOINT @SinglePOINTca]

On May 1 @realDonaldTrump will be announcing a tariff on all Internet traffic that passes through American controlled infrastructure.

"We gave the world the Internet-the free ride is over!"

The tariff will be 0.01¢ per megabyte plus a small $1 fee to every billed IP address.

[SinglePOINT @SinglePOINTca]

@acoyne Per-capita Federal transfers to the Territories DWARF what is transferred to any province.

Canadian Average: $2,440
NU $55,305
NT $41,965
YT $32,004
PE $5,324
NB $5,256
NS $4,855
MB $4,750
QC $3,159
NL $1,901
ON $1,728
AB, BC, SK $1,695

I suspect that the next TrumpTariff® will be on all Internet traffic that crosses America's borders.

Justified as a recouping of America's investment in INVENTING the Internet, the initial rate will be ONLY .0001¢ per megabyte.

Will it be introduced by @elonmusk tomorrow?

[SinglePOINT @SinglePOINTca]

I expect historians will call the 2020s the 'Disrupted' era.

A decade where social norms and behaviours, economic expectations, legal rules, political standards and historic truths were 'Disrupted'.

Nothing you thought you knew to be true and trustworthy will survive the decade

[SinglePOINT @SinglePOINTca]

@acoyne It's time for Canadians to acknowledge that WAR has been declared against us by the USA and no amount of jibber jabber will stop the economic bullets shooting at us.

Forget tariffs - STOP all oil, natural gas, wood, potash, and electricity exports to the USA & sell to the world!

[SinglePOINT @SinglePOINTca]

I wonder if the full @AECOM Green Line report considered the 1968 Rapid Transit Study for it's @calgarytransit report.

There was an operating monorail system in Calgary from 1911-17 and proposals in 1951, 63, 67 and 1982.

Seems like a great way to get around at a lower cost.
