- Does anyone else find the @nytimes.com connection bot rude when it doesn't bother to create a description for your guess? What, am i just TOO unique? Can't figure out what my twisted brain was thinking? Sheesh. Try harder #connectionsbot. I believe in you. #puzzles #nytconnections
- It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

View full threadYou can, but there are also lots of private and prep schools. (That’s not even getting into how gross it is the government subsidizes religious school, especially with Canadian Catholic school history, but that’s a whole other topic)
- sure rich people do rich people things - but most people i know (even some rich ones) send their kids to the public school system bc it’s excellent.
- BREAKING NEWS: “Situationship”has crossed over to middle-aged white ladies. #asyouwere #breakingnews #culture
- You say that like ppl aren’t sending their kids to private Catholic school in Canada
- Oh wait, you know our Catholic schools are paid through tax dollars right? You can freely choose public catholic or public secular in Ontario at least.

- I'm busy writing very important replies to people's sky messages. Don't bother me with things like productivity.
- oh stawp! 🥱☕️
- If y’all invest in that and not actual research, you’ll just keep following the US’s footsteps and that would be a shame. AI and Tech are causing massive issues and human rights violations here
- ai is a reality - you can ignore it or utilize it - lots of countries ignored social media and now we have twitter as the result.
- We were in Sask for 6 years and it was more expensive than most cities we have lived in and now a more expensive New England state.Comparing just NYC to the whole rest of the country isn’t really comparable.Rural CAD midsized cities are as expensive as most other US cities though from our experience
- and it’s dark six months of the year. But i don’t worry when i send my kids to school, and we don’t have slums. The kind of poverty you have we just don’t have here. People have no idea that “cheap” places to live means half your country can’t read or eat.

- Maybe - i could have worked in NYC - my husband as well. Huge money at the time. I brought out my spreadsheet - rent, private school for kids, healthcare, etc it worked out to be the same living in Canada (well not exactly but closer than you’d think)

- Yes let’s have a royal commission. While I dislike tobi what’s his name from shopify, the tech group he’s a part of with Daniel Debow (Build Canada) has some interesting proposals to accelerate tech growth.
- My husband is an entomologist and that field already is struggling for research money in Canada. We just moved back from him getting his PhD there. They’ll likely pull for doctors and medical research or as you said patent holders that will bring money with them
- Carney has a plan. It was not JTs plan. I suspect the investment in tech and ai might get seriously increased in the next three years.
- Canada has and will continue to do so. Sorry not sorry Amerika. 🇨🇦🫶🌷
- Someone just told me they were “stoked” to be connected with me on #linkedin. I feel like my life is complete. This is what #socialnetworking was meant for.

- Writing a script is so much like parenthood. Some days, you are happy you did it, proud, and have never known a love so profoundly. And other days, def. "WTF was I thinking?" energy. #scriptsky #screenwriting #ismother
- Why did I decide to (attempt) an elevated monster script? Writing is hard. Writing emotionally driven monster films is stupid hard! P.S. Who else was terrified by the Abominable Snowman as a child??? #Scriptsky #horror #monstermovies

- Well, if they were good attack ads. The liberal attack ad that compared PP to Trump using side by side was excellent. This SNEAKY Carney cartoon ad, is not serious. #ppfffft #cndpoli

- That's blowing up here and as you can imagine, Canadians are reluctant as hell to go to the States right now. They are also considering finger printing snow birds. Like our 80+ moms are gonna go do that? Really?
- Finally got my install of #HighlandPro working. It’s my third day of being sick after a 24-hour plane flight from Oz, and I’m feeling anxious to get off Reddit and onto something less stress-inducing. Luckily, it’s only my tenth rewrite. #scriptsky #startingfromscratch #writerslife #deadlines

- can someone explain to me how one uses the @canadapostcorp.bsky.social app (i already had one so not setting up a new one) to verify one's identity to vote in your leadership race? There is no option. Please help!
- I figured this out - so gonna leave this - there are two Canada Post apps (was not clear from the email nor the video) and you have to download Identity+ not the regular Canada post app.

- Sing Sing. OMG. Unexpected. Beautiful script about friendship and hope. I hope #Colemandomingo wins as Oscar. such a subtle and powerful performance that lived in the inbetween spaces of what he wasn’t able to say. Incredible. #scriptsky #Oscars
