So much of running a small business in Canada is behind the scenes. Because we are making our own products, our supply chain is crucial and I have been working so hard to simplify it and Canadianize it at every point possible. 🧵 1

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

It would cost roughly $700 million to make the nation's slowest buses fast and free.
And it would generate more than double that in economic benefits for our city.

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.
She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.
So I confronted him.

First, he'll need to win the party’s primary against at least two candidates. If successful, Platner will face an even greater challenge: Susan Collins.

Facebook doesn't just block Canadian news sites, those that would have been subjected to the proposed legislation they object to.
Facebook blocks ALL news sites. You cannot share news, or even links to Snopes, in Canada.

A reminder that Facebook blocks all news in Canada which interferes with emergency messaging and vital news about weather, local fires, outbreaks etc because most of our governments are afraid to use wireless emergency alerts.
We absolutely have to stop using Facebook and Twitter to warn the public about things that could kill them - and we need to do whatever it takes to help local and state government break this habit.
