Toronto master plan was created 3 months ago, going as planned, but didn’t predict that east end west end conflict could expand into city to city duels.

My dream is to be able to purchase a warehouse space in mt pleasant to jumpstart the second iteration.
Foldable chairs and tables. Extensions cords everywhere. Fast internet speeds. Space for tinkering projects of any size.
It doesn't have to be a new $500m dollar building.
We grew the first iteration of Vancouver startups in Gastown.
The area is rougher than it ever was, but creative office spaces are cheap.
And downtown Vancouver is small in any case. 10-15min bike to East Van or Mount Pleasant.

I'm a little timid about one of our new events at
@NovusOrg
.
After months of only 30-minute demos,
@manveerxyz
and I are introducing Pure Demos. A night full of only demos ;).
If you're at TED2024 this year, make sure you drop by.

You would think in this day and age with technology advancements, you could at least predict what the next day is going to look like, but I guess not

demos today:
- Soul connection cards digitized
- Wellness app
- Open source Loom
- Russian Accelerationism in the late 19th-20th century
- Screenshot essay maker
- How to propose to your gf
Today I learned what kind of person
@IanVanagas
is. A man who has the grit and endurance to sit down and read 10,000 usernames in one sitting is a person not to be messed with.

don't go for miku and overpay. don't go for fast food and underpay.
google maps nearest sushi near me, choose anything above a 3.8 and it'll be better than any 9/10 in Toronto.
while ur at it, try our tap water. you'll never experience water the same.
then you're gonna be talking about 🇨🇦/acc and how you have reached a Vancouver renaissance. That’s gonna last until next month, when you’re gonna realize you need to actually show what the city can do through an event to show of demos-
there's only one thing you have to do before you leave Vancouver.
walk all of stanley park. start at waterfront. take off your headphones, and mute your gadgets.

It's kinda crazy to just have an idea and work towards it. Day by day you make small progress to one day you look back to see how far you've come.
Happy Easter! 🐰🥚

Speaker series and panel events need to die, the only thing that matters is building product and gaining customers.
Afterall, advice is only reminiscing of the past.
The secret to building great communities?
Do it for a long time. This is me in grade 11 in highschool. I ran a student club of 200 students, 5 clubs, with 12 projects catered towards the betterment of local communities.
We've created Little Free Libraries, Community Gardens,
Really thankful for organizations like
@StdntsCmmssn
and
@ExperiencesCAN
for helping build friendships all across Canada. I've been meeting my friends in Ottawa throughout the week that I met through their programs

The first Youth Grant discussions have begun! We're spending the afternoon writing
#RisingYouth
applications through our partnership with
@takingitglobal
@canadiangvt
#canadaservicecorps
Grants are literally being written by youth, and then approved and signed on the spot!
If you're a founder with capital, this is the time to hire. There's a lot of good talent that's been laid off and struggling to find jobs.
Happy to refer people over if you're hiring!
