Who can educate me on Veo3 AI video capabilities and costs? I’m hoping to find someone who can help me create aspirational videos of specific neighbourhoods in Toronto as they get up zoned for “missing middle” and mid rise developments. Ultimately, I’d love to have drone…

Youth unemployment in Ontario is hitting record highs. All while low wage jobs get absorbed by international students and temporary foreign workers. I wrote about this in @TheHubCanada with @alexbrown17 for Project Ontario. Check it out in the replies below.

Youth unemployment is soaring. And there are those, like @fordnation, who seek to make matters worse. This is foundational. It’s a country-breaker if we fail to launch these kids. Proud to collab with @MattSpoke and Project Ontario on this. thehub.ca/2025/07/28/mat…
78% of ppl are voting for a “liberal” party… There’s room for a conservative in Ontario.

It's time to restructure federal-provincial relations for good This week’s first ministers’ meetings are unlikely to produce much more than photo ops and platitudes. But imagine if they did. One of the most consequential reform our political leaders could pursue is a…

As we increase defence spending in Canada, we should double down on our cadet programs - Air, Army and Sea. These programs pay incredible dividends in public service, national pride, and a deeper appreciation for the role of the military. @DavidMcGuinty - what do you think?
Simplicity is underrated. This is directionally great, but I don't understand the City's insistence on making everything more complicated than it needs to be. Revision: First 4 units are exempt from DCs on any multiunit development.
Big Housing News🚨🚨 Councillors @CllrJamaalMyers and @JoshMatlow have introduced a motion to the Planning and Housing Committee (PHC) that seeks to: 1. Remove DCs for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th units in multplexes up to 6 units. Previously, there was a policy cliff where if you…
Time to upload land use planning completely to the Province. Cities have proven themselves incapable of managing this responsibility.
lol Provincial regulation says no angular planes allowed for garden suites or laneway suites. So Toronto deleted the requirement (as they are required to do) and replaced it with new zoning that would do the same thing as angular planes.
