@build_canada @amanda @Eric_OTooleMP @atRachelGilmore You’ll find a lot more innovation and risk-taking at the municipal level than the federal one. Plus if you get a no, you can always move on to the next one. You might want to ask your counterparts in aviation and rail what it’s like to be federally regulated before jumping in

@amanda @Eric_OTooleMP @atRachelGilmore @build_canada @stewartlyons Are entrepreneurs seriously sending memos? I work for a very traditional organization and I laugh every time we send a memo because it feels so antiquated!

@amanda @Eric_OTooleMP @atRachelGilmore @build_canada @stewartlyons I’m glad; it was nice to have a discussion. If you want other everyday white ladies with polisci degrees to engage, I’d suggest renaming the “memos” as white or green or discussion papers or anything that acknowledges they’re a starting point rather than an endgame

@amanda @Eric_OTooleMP @atRachelGilmore @build_canada It then goes on to suggest as a solution that we have a single, national transportation authority. I get that it would be easier to have just one layer of govt to lobby, but in what world would it be sensible to have the feds decide where scooters should be parked on my street?

@amanda @Eric_OTooleMP @atRachelGilmore @build_canada I went through the site. Notably absent are workers. Business would do well to remember the people who actually create value on their behalf and deserve a greater share of that value

@annmariesbitch @heyaimsarah @NJGenerals85 A pound is 454g. For easy estimating, round that to 500. About 50g to 100g of deli meat in your typical sandwich

@Adam_Karpiak I was one of a handful of hourly employees at a company of 200+ salaried workers. Management announced they were giving us the afternoon of Dec. 23 off (Dec. 24 was a Saturday). They didn’t pay the hourly people for the afternoon

@DrEmmaBeckett My dad did the same thing and my sister and I only found out when his Garmin thought he had been in a bike crash (he had not, he just stopped suddenly after realizing he’d gone the wrong way)

@OccTranspo “Draft Budget 2025: look, we’re not happy about it either but what ya gonna do” was the original proposed tagline
