There are tents in parks and vacant lots all over Montreal, winter is coming, and tens of millions of dollars are just sitting there.

This piece by @KRonellenfitsch is so goddamned good. So goddamned smart. So goddamned cut-through-the-bullshit. I wish @liberal_party would hook her brain up to a WhatDoWeDoNext machine. I want every Liberal in Canada to read it immediately.

@JaneLytv Excellent! Congrats, Jane!

Having polled for Team Holt, let me say that campaign manager @katieadavey and the entire team deserve praise for running a campaign that was doggedly focused on being "focused on you".

The way we’re about to watch Milton unfold through the eyes of its victims on TikTok feels unprecedented.

I have two degrees in climate science. Not once in my education did we talk about the role that social media would play in the collective experience of climate change.

Studies from other jurisdictions have found a correlation between high speed rail and productivity gains.

In the context of a productivity crisis in Canada, these are the stakes.

A huge missed opportunity if the contract goes to Air Canada and/or is “medium speed” rail.

[Toronto Star @TorontoStar]

Toronto to Montreal in 3 hours? Canada is finally ready to build a high speed rail line — but how fast it will be remains an open question https://t.co/g20mjGy7LU

A real shock & monumental loss. MAIEI was my entry point to the topic & I had the pleasure of knowing Abhishek through @shapersMTL. He was man whose brilliance was matched by his kindness and his contributions won’t soon be forgotten. Condolences to his family and loved ones.

[Montreal AI Ethics Institute @mtlaiethics]

In accordance with his family's wishes, it is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of @atg_abhishek, Founder and Principal Researcher of @mtlaiethics, and Director for Responsible AI at @BCG and a pioneering voice in the field of #AIethics

oh good, Rogers Stadium, not to be confused with Rogers Centre, Rogers Arena or Rogers Place.

Canada is not beating the "three corporations in a trenchcoat" allegations I fear

[C. de Saint-Rome @cdesaintrome]

Congratulations @miranda_dsr on successfully defending your PhD thesis in Neuroscience on #ALS at the University of Toronto. Proud of you as always, Dr. Miranda!!

A propos nothing, here’s an observation I made during grad school @MaxBellSchool a few years ago, published in an article for a @ColumbiaSIPA outlet.

It was about risks to national security when critical infrastructure is privately owned by one dude.
