@NatalyArar @RobButler @fwd50conf ha haa nvm then!

[Saief Mahmood 🇨🇦 @saief14]

@NatalyArar @fwd50conf Would like to join. Do I need invite? :)

@RobButler Could be a work-life balance issue because of the pandemic. The lack of in-person convos makes most virtual convos related to work feel like "work". Used to use my coffee/lunch breaks for GoC related convos but now I dont take as many breaks! Also there's a screen-time fatigue.

@Laf819 @DAZN_CA I will :)

[Saief Mahmood 🇨🇦 @saief14]

Oh well!

Scared of snakes? You should be more afraid of spreading #disinformation online – the impacts could be poisonous to our democracy.

Always check the source, read past the headlines, and verify information before you share it online. #MediaLitWk

@JimenaGuild Having the Golden State might not be that bad! Winter vacations might be more affordable :)

[Saief Mahmood 🇨🇦 @saief14]

@RobButler Agreed! Public policies are often developed based on past or current issues/needs, not the future ones. IMHO we also need to invest for the future. Some of skills people spend years to master can becomes less important because of changes (e.g. AI, automation)!

Yo @PSPC_SPAC, great job with #mygcpay!!! You did do a amazing job with user-centered design! One of the best GC tools out there.

On a sad day, it was nice to join the first foresight scanning club at GAC supported by @PolicyHorizon materials.

Although the flight has been not so ideal but #Istanbul has been a blast so far! Got two new Italian friends!

@ararnataly @CU_NPSIA @CanHCBangladesh I'm! The dream of representing Canada to my motherland is still alive and kicking!

[Saief Mahmood 🇨🇦 @saief14]

One of the perks of being @CU_NPSIA grad is to meet this amazing NPSIANs at @CanHCBangladesh! A precious Canada moment in Dhaka.

Always makes me proud when I travel as a Canadian! It feels extra special when I go back home (Dhaka) from home (Ottawa)! 11,000KM, 2 days of travel here I go!
