Red bus only lane has begun to appear on Queens Quay (north side for now) opposite the Redpath Sugar Factory. Still no funding for Waterfront LRT. Will be interesting to observe staging of east west connections vs north-south #ttc #bus #Toronto #bustransit #transit

This is the key thing to understand—there's no such thing as an all-American car. Even US-brand-US-assembled models don't use anything close to 100% American content. Trying to do autarky for car parts is totally unrealistic and just going to drive up costs and hurt domestic manufacturing.

Globe Op Ed: "The Trudeau government left behind a trail of failed innovation policies, including the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA) that died with the proroguement of Parliament. But Mr. Carney has carved out an entire ministry for AI." #AI #Canada

Thanks for the meeting today, Mayor Chow.

We’re ready to get to work — to build up the housing supply, to bring costs down, and to keep our communities safe.

From Alex Hutchinson. How we unleash or use technology matters, even if it feels like a relentless losing proposition. Long live cognitive mapping! #sweatscience #GPS #techimpact #neuroscience #brainscience
We should turn off GPS – it’s a no-brainer
Having an omniscient navigational tool in your pocket at all times has changed not just how we find our way around, but how we construct a mental representation of the world around us
