At the @SummitAmericas yesterday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sat down with @Google and Alphabet’s CEO, Sundar Pichai. They spoke about Google’s presence in Canada, and the increasing importance of protecting democracy through vibrant and diverse online media.
Today, we raised the Pride flag on Parliament Hill. The flag is a symbol of hope, solidarity, and diversity – and raising it is a symbol of our ongoing commitment to building a country where everyone can be who they are and love whom they love. Happy Pride season, everyone! 🏳️🌈
Doug Ford caused a healthcare staffing crisis, with staff turnover and burnout at an all-time high. An @OntLiberal government will repeal the Conservatives' wage-capping Bill 124 and increase wages for healthcare workers.

@elonmusk Why don't you produce a Friends - Billionaire version? It would be a tone-deaf, anti-woke poop-show, but people would watch it... for the product placement alone.
Since storms swept through Ontario and Quebec, people across both provinces have been there for one another. We saw that today, when we visited folks who were affected in Ottawa and Aylmer. I let them know we’re here for them, too – and we’re ready to provide support as needed.
We’re offering Ontarians a choice: An Ontario Liberal government that believes in public healthcare, or quiet healthcare privatization by the Ford Conservatives.

@Breedlove22 A government could not initiate infrastructure projects like hydro-electricity and the internet without taxing the eventual private activity that arises one or more generations layer. Short term profitability as a goal is inefficient and limiting.
SCOOP: The Biden administration will press Congress to include a requirement for crypto exchanges to firewall customer funds from their own corporate funds in case of bankruptcy in any legislation on crypto.

@BreakdownNLW We do it with organized crime, and Islamic terrorism and halting funding to them is justified. They used the legitimate protesters as cover to plan and carry out acts of terrorism.
Framing this as a simple protest in normal times is disingenuous.
@BreakdownNLW These people brought weapons ammo and body armor, and are part of Canada's white supremist movement. They openly threatened the PMs life and family, so no he should not have met with them and hugged it all out.
@novogratz It really depends on how badly your local health care and food supply chain workers need support. If people are too sick to work, and if COVID patients are clogging up the hospital system, ppl can't get food and care, and life becomes much harder and more expensive for everyone.
@APompliano The Foundation sci-fi series on Apple TV. A classic novel, an excellent adaptation. A story about a math genius taking on an authoritarian society. What's not to love?
@Desperado_Dave@BoredDerek@TRF_Stories@DappRadar ...and back in the day, investors sued at the idea of computers being used to maintain ledgers, and people demanded that lawyers be banned from using email...
@TRF_Stories Blockchain technology and NFTs require an expansion in human consciousness away from ego and possessiveness, toward shared ownership and a concept of self that includes the temporal self and the ongoing human collective consciousness.
@cafulnecky @PeterMcCormack The people within an oppressive system are in a good position to criticize it with authority. The difference between western imperialists and Chinese authoritarianism is merely geographical. They are of the same problems of the human condition.
@chamath ..time and money is wasted on suppression, violence and control. Why innovate when you can beat the problem into submission? Why pursue human liberation through commerce and technology when you can just kill and plunder? Authoritarianism is just capitalism devoid of purpose.
@chamath When capitalists and free-market advocates disregard human rights abuses, they damage capitalism and sap the power of the free market. Rather than rise to the challenge of meeting human needs and solve human problems... --->
