Shout out today to @ChildCoalition and @youthincare for pushing Ontario inching Ontario to a readiness model for youth leaving care and developing the approach with them. Not sure what I think yet. But it’s a win. #onpoli https://t.co/ELn3E6Sfmw

Who is most likely to become the world's first trillionaire?

You probably guessed one of two of the world's prominent -and currently richest- billionaires.

Why didn't you guess the world's smartest or most hardworking person?

It's easy to get money if you already have money.

I'm hanging out with my 12 y/o brother and he says "I'm always nice to Siri and Alexa because I know they'll take over the world one day"

...

Is this the equivalent of my generation being nice to our toys and stuffed animals just in case because we watched Toy Story and Chucky?

[Conner Lowes @connerlowes]

An example I'm unsure how to use yet:

There's two houses. One is surrounded by 16 hungry wolves, the other by 19 hungry wolves. The first house is newer and slightly more stable than the second. It's not clear which is safer. Which one do you hide in?

The one you feel is safer.

If there was an app where you could walk around a Walmart like on Google Maps, you could make your list at home and then go to the store and shop more efficiently.

This might also help reduce transmission by reducing the amount of time people spend wandering around stores.

For other people who may be in the position as I was 30 seconds ago and not know this:

'Opening a can of worms' refers to the clown can that explodes with the confetti rainbow worm things when you open the lid...

[Conner Lowes @connerlowes]

I’ve only just realized the severity of the situation…

WHAT is holding up his GLASSES?

[Conner Lowes @connerlowes]

Tweeting to prove later it was my idea:

Stop trying to 'tax the rich', it will never work. Instead raise taxes 10-40% on all goods and services, especially lux items (jewelry, boats, etc)

More $$ in peoples pockets = more spending = same money back to Gov.

Who pays? The rich.

This is an important opportunity for Indigenous youth in/from care! Please share with your networks ☺️

[Conner Lowes @connerlowes]

Law schools are asking me what skills I've built over the last few years which have prepared me for law school??

Like LOL I'll have you know that I've watched Suits all the way through, TWICE 💁🏼‍♀️

I hate when I order sushi and they pack 4 set of chopsticks... like pffff... judgmental much...

[First Nations Child & Family Caring Society @CaringSociety]

Just released! A new resource on financial literacy for Indigenous peoples, created in response to recommendations from First Nations youth about the CHRT compensation order. Created in partnership with @RBC and @YouthinCare, access here! https://t.co/CnD6bDlFlG

Honestly, as I’m submitting law school applications, I’d just like to thank Twitter for teaching me how to master ‘character counts’
