@ayce_ttb I see you!

@st3v3turn3r @RT_OHagan91 @MeganatLFPress It's easy to blame the Feds for the delay, but on a critical infrastructure project like this the public deserves to know where DFO finds the city's environmental protection plan deficient.

@naomisea If church doesn't help, you might try moving to Canada. I've heard it has worked for others.

@naomisea Thanks for your love and concern, @naomisea. I agree with you that Canada has made a mess of the vaccine rollout, but keeping you and little Wildflower safe is a high priority to me. My time will come soon enough.

Those who would dare to lead in this uncertain world must be sure of their purpose, as is @_allisonalley, CEO of @CompassionCA. Allison's advice to young leaders: Learn by doing. Recognize the source of your strength. Surround yourself with a diverse team.

At what point can we stop devoting millions towards researching homelessness and instead just end homelessness.

Give people housing. The solution to homelessness is housing.

@benwildflower Thankyou! I didn't appreciate the semantic (but important) distinction.

@benwildflower Please explain.

During the current coronavirus pandemic, courageous young leaders are stepping forward to lead nonprofit organizations. I recently spoke with @PhilA_Reilly, the newly-appointed ED of @dalitfreedom, about his vision of leadership. https://t.co/AWGuCgWTpp

@TorontoStar Why is @TorontoStar putting revenue ahead of the public interest by blocking articles like these behind a paywall?

Does asymmetric information risk appear on your organization's risk register? Boards and management are both responsible to ensure that the right information-- in the sense of both quality and quantity-- is presented to the board.

“So is it OK if a kid only wants to read graphic novels? Experts say yes. Research found that GN averaged 53.5 rare, or more complex, words per 1,000. That's more than children's books which average 30.9 and even adult books at 52.7.” https://t.co/wTU2uW27On

Humility is not self-effacement but honest acknowledgement of my strengths and weaknesses. Great post by @chriswignall.
