"But there exists also in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to attempt to lower the powerful to their own level, and reduces men to prefer equality in slavery to inequality with freedom"

Canadians are not “misunderstanding” Bill C-22.
They are understanding it very clearly.
People are concerned because once governments force companies to create digital backdoors for “lawful access,” the door does not magically remain accessible only to the “good guys.”
Encryption protects:
* journalists
* businesses
* lawyers
* political dissidents
* victims of abuse
* and ordinary citizens
A vulnerability built for the state is still a vulnerability.
Canadians want safe communities.
But safety cannot come at the cost of building permanent surveillance infrastructure that future governments could abuse.
Freedom once surrendered is rarely fully returned.

Elon wants a line capable of producing 1M Optimus robots per year by 2027. Figure wants another 100,000 humanoids in the market by 2029. Unitree and the other Chinese firms might outproduce them both.
That’s exciting. But I’ll be disappointed if all these robots can do is fold laundry and move boxes around warehouses.
I want humanoids on construction sites.
I really want humanoid masons.
To get there, robotics labs need the right training data. And to capture that data, construction workers need the right equipment.
We’re building smart safety glasses to help.

Erika Kirk: “While we may have big problems with illegal immigration in this country. I have to tell you, we have an even bigger problem when it comes to the systemic indoctrination and radicalization of our own citizens.”
It’s great to see @MayorOliviaChow championing practical AI use cases in cities.
We’ve been building in this space with Muni — helping municipalities triage resident requests, automate responses and guide users through series without adding workload to staff.
Would love to connect and share what we’ve seen in the field and what’s working across other cities.

Chow takes the lectern to talk about the AI projects: a rec planning project, a 311 virtual assistant, an IT assistant, and a building permit precheck project.
"The work reflects what's possible when technology supports — not replaces — the people who serve our city," she says

Yes. Let’s put the government in charge of standardizing design for urban development. What could go wrong? Governments are know for their attention to design, just think of all the awesome government websites you use.
Canada’s new government just released the Housing Design Catalogue.
It has 50 standardised housing designs that builders will use to streamline approvals, cut through red tape, and get millions more homes built, faster.

I’m excited to be speaking today at the Buildstack missing middle summit. Missing middle housing is the key to solving Torontos housing crisis. @ChrisSpoke has done a great job organizing the conference.
Housing affordability is by far the single most important economic issue facing Ontario and Canada as a whole. Don’t miss the opportunity to unpack the core issues and explore the solutions at the Missing Middle Summit. xitter.cf/chrisspoke/status/1792…

Charter schools at first did not do much, were decried as a failure. But then they learned and got better.
That’s what capitalism does in every area! Unlike public education, which will stagnate forever. Believe in markets and end childhood communism. nymag.com/intelligencer/2023…
THIS ladies and gentlemen is how you recruit top talent.

If you're a consultant at one of these companies and you look down the hall at your boss's life and you don't like what you see...
And you're ready to quit to run or grow a company with somebody like me...
Send me a 1 minute video via DM introducing yourself.
I deleted the last tweet because the inbound wasn't organized. Thanks!
A KPMG alumni was co-founder of our cost seg firm @recostseg and she built it into a $10 million company in less than a year.
Another friend quit McKinsey and grew an agency from $5m value to $50m value in 5 years...
I need operators for my companies and I like this work ethic and skillset.

Big step! It may be the case that local governments will be first adopters before the Fed gets the memo. This is actually how it should be. City and states should lead and the fed should simply get out of the way.
Fort Worth, Texas will become the first city government in the United States to mine bitcoin.
Texas is where the future begins.
