@KeeganMatheson Seriously, the Jays can’t afford to run this guy out there to lose games…find another option.

@MikePMoffatt I would also suggest federal investments to bolster/expand the pre-fab/modular home manufacturing industry makes FAR more sense than investing billions in silly electric vehicle component manufacturing. We need a strategic approach to the things that matter today.

[Kirk Fergusson @kfergusson]

@MikePMoffatt What about creating a financial package model that levels the playing field for people to buy land and then put a modular home on the property? It’s a very challenging model as is, but it could be far more affordable for entry homes or those looking to live outside major centers.

@MarshaIIZach Only when BJ fans start cancelling or changing their Rogers cable package (removing MLB and/or sports channels) will Rogers consider making changes with team mgmt. If fans rally, it could force a change quickly.

@KarenSoutar1 Couldn't agree more - I'm tired of watching kids with podcasts trying to interpret business moves with little/no real life experience. Have any of them actually negotiated anything substantial in their lives!?

Great illustration of how the use of innovative technology like Medly can level the playing field to support people managing heart disease in remote communities in Northern Ontario. https://t.co/OEXVm7NZk0

@JohnNorthey @MikePMoffatt It's called leadership! When Mulroney pushed for the GST & FTA, he knew these HAD to be implemented - despite the Opposition screaming they'd drop both if they came to power. The Libs came in and realized how much $ these 2 initiatives created for them and resistance gone.

[Kirk Fergusson @kfergusson]

@MikePMoffatt Amazing to see the data laid out like that. Raises the question, how did this happen under the noses of so many government bureaucrats/departments? Who is supposed to ensure this doesn't happen again?

[The Rundown @therundowntvo]

Escalating rates of Parkinson’s Disease have led some researchers to warn that it is becoming a pandemic. @spaikin speaks to neurologist Dr. Lorraine Kalia (@kalialabs @UHN @KBI_UHN) about her research, tonight at 8/11pm | Producer: @PreetiBhuyan

[Kirk Fergusson @kfergusson]

UHN’s digital therapeutics firm, Medly Therapeutics, was featured at the Fed's recent AI announcement, with Deputy PM, Chrystia Freeland. UHN’s Head of Cardiology and Medly Therapeutics Founder, Dr. Heather Ross, spoke to the importance of Medly in the care of patients.

@MikePMoffatt @SeanFraserMP Here's Canada's example - these can be produced far more efficiently and are very safe.

@MikePMoffatt Oh, and you might want to check out this event in DC (happening next week): https://t.co/c5YoxnGlnA

I did some consulting work for one of the sponsors (FEA) - they're super-knowledgeable about this space, the players, etc.

A good overview piece for consideration…

[Kirk Fergusson @kfergusson]

@CDIC_CA As a career comms professional, I appreciate the need to inform Canadians about the services the Feds provide. But your TV ads are waste of $. It's like the military telling Canadians, "We exist to protect you." Duh. When did u last get used? 1996. 27 years ago - really?!

@MikePMoffatt @PLACE__Centre @jesse_helmer In a world where students need to identify and apply for an academic program 1+ years in advance, I just don't see Ontario's academic institutions playing a role in helping fill the void. They're stuck in their comfy, cozy paradigm and aren't viable partners in training workers.
