just waiting for the next big idea.

@brrmanator @Eric_OTooleMP @atRachelGilmore @build_canada @stewartlyons Yes, but it's probably not like what you imagine. Most in that group appear to be tech entrepreneurs, so we're used to writing investor updates, product planning, or overall vision with a memo style. Love him or not Bezos gives a good outline of why here:

@brrmanator @Eric_OTooleMP @atRachelGilmore @build_canada @stewartlyons Ha! :) That's a good point. If I had to guess, they probably used Memos to keep things concise and familiar for entrepreneurs. I know they are trying to bridge gaps and get the ideas out there, so hopefully, in the days ahead, they will iterate and clarify for a wider audience.

@brrmanator @Eric_OTooleMP @atRachelGilmore @build_canada You know, Elizabeth, your considerate feedback made my day. Thank you for responding and for reading the memo by @stewartlyons. Like all public policy, it has to start somewhere. You raised important points that affect the lives of everyday people and shouldn't be dismissed.

100% agree.

@brrmanator @Eric_OTooleMP @atRachelGilmore @build_canada Unfettered capitalism doesn’t sit well with me either, and I hear you on the annoying scooters. Innovation can cause friction, but that’s no reason to give up on potentially good ideas. Public policy isn’t the same as business. It needs diverse input to work for everyone.

@Eric_OTooleMP @atRachelGilmore @build_canada You're oversimplifying things. I don’t think this platform is great for nuanced conversations, so let's end it here. And for the record, I’m definitely not alt-right—you only need to look at my past posts to see that. Thanks for the chat. Have a good night!

@brrmanator @Eric_OTooleMP @atRachelGilmore @build_canada Hi, thanks for your thoughtful comment. I agree that's critical. Remember that @build_canada is specifically about an entrepreneur's perspective, and they only launched it a few days ago. Were there any memos that you found interesting that you'd want to add your voice to?

@Eric_OTooleMP @atRachelGilmore @build_canada Reducing spending can mean avoiding stupid decisions or wasteful expenditures. Why is that just an alt-right thing? So bizarre to me. All parties have done it. Just look at Ford's mess with LCBO, Ontario Place, etc. Can we talk as citizens? We are massively in debt as a country.

@Zedagain @atRachelGilmore @build_canada You need a good dose of self-reflection if you think my comments are remotely perverse or intolerant. I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt today, my bad.

@Zedagain @atRachelGilmore @build_canada It seems you're missing the point I was alluding to, so I'll let ChatGPT break down your tweets. Take care.

@Zedagain @atRachelGilmore @build_canada Time machine, man. Maybe revisit your pinned tweet. Muditā. If you genuinely think criticizing government inefficiencies makes someone alt-right, it might be time for a refresher in critical thinking.

@Eric_OTooleMP @atRachelGilmore @build_canada That’s not fair at all. We need to find more common ground as Canadians. We won’t agree on everything, but I bet no one disagrees that we must reduce spending, increase transparency, and streamline operations. I suggest reading the memos and the FAQ here:

@Eric_OTooleMP @atRachelGilmore @build_canada There were some throwaway comments, but this was a takedown. The condescending tone made me sad. These are established tech entrepreneurs making ideas transparent—it should be challenged but also applauded. Imagine if we implemented even a fraction of the healthcare ideas!

@SuzyQue64568715 @atRachelGilmore @build_canada I don’t think we should call anyone an idiot—she’s an entrepreneur, too, ultimately. The issue here is prioritizing 'views' over real engagement. Instead of just reacting, why not interview the memo writers and explore the ideas with balance?

Say what you want about @JustinTrudeau, but tonight, he brought all of Canada together. That's what a leader sounds like. We’re polite a nation—until we’re not. 🍁 #TeamCanada
