New global priority: Figure how to protect commitments to independent news media. How to pierce digital curtains. And, how to restore the meaning and validation of truth. Astonishing to see good people of Russia being controlled as these things don’t exist.

[David Alexander @davidaalexander]

So proud!

Some calls as CEO are tough; this was not one of them. Follow the science. COVID vaccinations will be required to come to our offices this Fall. I’m choosing to protect Maple Leaf Team Members. Hope others in the community do the same.

Great restaurants offer so much more than food, and a long dark winter after months of struggle is likely to devastate many. Jen Agg @TheBlackHoof outlines her struggle, and what we can do to help #SmallBusiness https://t.co/A7km2JjFUB

Have you ever seen a 2 year old stand in a corner by themselves, in a temper tantrum because they want something they can’t have? And, all the adults in the room stand around looking at them, trying to find a way to calm and reason with the child?

On point @deAdder today. #AtlanticBubble #COVID19

[Scott Stirrett @scottstirrett]

Atlantic Canada should be receiving more press about its success containing the coronavirus. There are few places in the world that have eradicated the coronavirus to the extent of Atlantic Canada. The region's success likely contains lessons for other jurisdictions.

THREAD of obscure, yet popular tweets by @naval.

Naval's top tweets from 2016-2018, filtered by timelessness.

This surfaces high signal info outside of the wealth thread.

I wish there was more explicit acknowledgment that one of the most persuasive rationales for continued distancing/lockdowns is indeed to buy time for technological improvements. Not just vaccines but also therapeutics, rapid tests, greater scientific understanding.

“Follow your passion,” might be the most common career guidance, but it is actually bad advice.

Fiscal update: Morneau projects $343.2-billion deficit; federal debt to climb above $1-trillion https://t.co/JRbZNYGGUa

If the world can’t align behind COVID as people are directly dying today... it takes away hope for an aligned approach to fight #ClimateChange

[David Alexander @davidaalexander]

After electricity was invented it took over thirty years for society to see big gains from it. "Likewise, with remote work, I don't think people really were forced to think through all the things that we could do and how well it could work,"

On April 4th, armed with a sleeping bag and cardboard, I will take on the challenge of sleeping outside on the streets of Toronto so that homeless youth don’t have to.
