At BetaKit #MostAmbitious: Town Hall, Kath Intson said Sentinel was once on the fast track to becoming an American company. But that was before Canada woke up.

X is still violating Canadian privacy by allowing Grok's deepfakes, OPC found. But what's a privacy commissioner's office to do if it can't impose fines or orders?

.@GetKoho says it is already at 2.5 million clients and around $250 million CAD in annual revenue. It's framing the banking licence as the “last big piece of the puzzle.”

I guess this is why we elect governments, not oil company CEOs, to govern us.
The leader of one of Canada’s biggest oil companies blasted a government push for a massive carbon-capture project and carbon tax in exchange for an oil-sands pipeline as anticompetitive and uneconomic bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Chrétien: When you look at the polls, Canadians have never been more united. Thank you to Donald Trump for that. I should propose him for the Order of Canada, but I cannot succeed. Do you know why?
Rosie: He's not Canadian?
Chrétien: Because we don't give it to a person who has a criminal record.

If Trump attending Game 3 causes the Knicks to lose the Finals, this might actually end up being the push America needs.

One of the best days in the history of @BetaKit. We're just getting started.
No sovereignty without technology.
No ambition without action.
A look back at BetaKit #MostAmbitious: Town Hall at @TOtechweek. Presented by @Uber_Canada, @DMZhq, and @nationalbank.

The root of the Billy Bishop Airport expansion plan is that Nieuport Aviation Infrastructure Partners (aka JP Morgan) wildly overpaid Porter ($750M) in 2015.
Without an expansion, Nieuport likely has no way to recoup its investment.
It's about the $$$$

Canada UPSETS USA and makes history winning their first gold medal at the FIBA U18 AmeriCup.
USA had won the last seven tournaments until now.

We are going to see a lot of this: people using the referendum campaign to promote their own agendas; campaigning for a "united Canada" on the basis that their preferred remedies for "addressing separatist concerns" are adopted. And if they are not?
The premise of all of this "pro-Canada" campaigning (see also: Danielle Smith) is that Canada has to prove itself to be worthy of saving -- that one of the most successful countries in the history of the world has to beg for the right to exist. That may be many things but it's not pro-Canada.

Gotta love when a @Newsweek hack rushes to get a “Caitlin Clark trade to Sparks rumor” piece out for engagement farming, and forgets to delete their AI chat prompts from the piece.
