@georgehayworth@scottmcnealy I had the fantastic opportunity to work at Sun when Scott and Sun were at their best. He impacts me to this day nearly 30 years later.
Over the course of the long weekend we’re expecting 4,150 arrivals and departures at Toronto Pearson, with approximately 667,000 people travelling from over 170 destinations.
Here are some things you can do to make your transition through the airport smooth and stress free:
💻 Reserve your spot in line with YYZ express to speed through security screening queues.
✅ Download the ArriveCan app to submit your declaration and use the express lane to pass through customs faster.
🚗 Arrange a pick up at Viscount Station's Kiss & Fly. That helps you avoid congestion and it’s free!
@jen_keesmaat@jen_keesmaat fire yourself. You ripped down the Gardner without public consult literally in the middle of the night. You and your cronies created this mess. Step away, time for new thinking. Adding more empty streetcars to the long chains already ain't keeping business afloat.
@jen_keesmaat You literally *were* the city planner for this city for a likely the period time that got us here! And you take zero responsibility. We need politicians who take true ownership. Go back to profiting from your relationships to build housing at subway stops.
I think it's the perfect example of the insanity of public service, bureaucracy and taxes. I paid taxes to no end and these people cannot even do their job.
Time for a change.
1/X Quit my job, started a company in '04 off a loan I took out against the equity in my home (READ: if it failed I took all the risk and would lose my home).
Saw both municipal and federal governments had out their business to buddies and US companies for 15 years.
Some humour. Needed a DEAD city tree declared dead and removed by the city so they wouldn't fine me. Followed the process, a year later after contacting them many times, going to my councillor to get action, finally contracted (paid for) an outside firm to rip it out.

Life lessons from my father that I want to teach to my son:
1. You can tell everything you need to know about a person by observing how they treat service workers.
2. Hard work will never be overrated. You have to work hard if you want to get ahead.
3. You don't need to have an opinion on everything. It's perfectly reasonable to have no opinion on something that you haven't researched or don't understand.
4. You can get pretty damn far in life by just saying what you're going to do and then doing it.
5. Showing up early costs very little and pays off handsomely in the long run.
6. Waking up early is the easiest way to improve your odds of success. You don't have to wake up early to be successful, but you rarely find an early riser that isn't winning.
7. Having good posture is a physical and mental unlock for life.
8. Being kind to people is the only real life hack. Kindness remains severely underrated.
9. Consistency is everything. You should never bet against a person who just keeps showing up.
10. Most of us need fewer friends and more intellectual sparring partners. Friends are pleasant and easy to come by, but intellectual sparring partners question our assumptions and force us to level up.
Those are 10 life lessons I learned from my father that I want to teach to my son.
