Toronto’s congestion problem isn’t just about more cars — it’s about infrastructure that hasn’t kept up with the city. Most of our 2,500 traffic signals still run on fixed timing plans written years ago. The pilot intersections are not enough to make a systemwide impact. That creates two predictable...

When you pay sales tax, your money goes up to Ottawa and Queen’s Park. I’m moving a motion for Toronto to finally receive a share of the HST, to invest in the services you rely on here in your city, every day. Please sign the petition: It’s budget season again in Toronto and the cracks are showing between the City’s revenue and the services that the City is expected to provide. For decades, provincial and federal governments have downloaded responsibilities to the City including roads, shelters, courts, daycare, public health and more. Today, approximately 27% of Toronto’s property tax revenue is spent funding extensions of federal and provincial responsibilities. But even as Toronto is told to take on more, the province prescribes what revenue tools are available to the City, and has restricted them almost exclusively to taxes on property. Toronto is one of Canada’s primary economic engines. The Toronto region generates 20% of the national GDP, 20% of Ontario’s jobs, and attracts more than 28 million annual visitors. This level of economic activity is enabled by the investments our city has made in social and civic infrastructure, including affordable housing, public health, roads and transit. We host people from across the country and around the world at events like Taylor Swift concerts, the World Series, and the FIFA games, which generates tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue for the provincial and federal governments. Meanwhile, the City shoulders the costs of additional policing, emergency services, transit, and crowd management that make these events possible. The math doesn’t work. Without any other source of revenue, municipalities have been forced to hike property taxes, cut vital services and delay critical infrastructure investments just to stay afloat. If Toronto is expected to continue driving national prosperity, it must be granted access to revenue tools that are predictable, reflect our investments, and grow with the economy. No more “new deals”. No more begging for one-time ad hoc program funding. It’s time for Toronto to have a fair share of the HST.

WATCH: Chicago Ald. Anthony Beale perfectly captures what’s wrong with city budgeting. There is no real independent analysis of the mayor’s spending plans. Because there is no infrastructure outside the mayor’s office that can provide it. And that’s by design. “If we cannot get the right information or get false information, made up information, how can we make a solid decision on what’s right? … When we have a budget director that can justify $400,000 for a committee that doesn’t exist for the mayor pro tem. When we have a budget director that can justify giving extra security to people who people don’t even know when they’re walking down the street…I guarantee you all. If you hear me, hear me good today. There’s a whole lot more hidden stuff in this budget. There’s a lot more that you all don’t know about.”

This Wednesday, we’re taking volunteerism beyond normal. The drains at Darkuman Junction are completely blocked, causing flooding, heavy traffic, and gradual destruction of the road. Instead of waiting for someone else to act, we’re stepping up to make a difference. To get this clean-up started, we urgently need: 🚜 A backhoe to clear the blocked drains. 🚛 A tipper truck to haul away the waste and debris. We are calling on individuals, businesses, organizations, and anyone who cares about our community to support this cause. Whether you can provide the equipment, sponsor the work, or connect us with someone who can help, your support will have a lasting impact. Together, we can restore the flow of the drains, improve road safety, and make Darkuman a cleaner, safer place for everyone. 📞 Please reach out if you can support or partner with us. Volunteerism is not just about showing up—it’s about creating lasting change.

Edmonton. Today is the day you cast your vote in the most important election we’ve had in recent memory. I love this city. But we can all agree: Edmonton is at a turning point. We’re growing — and with that growth come serious challenges: affordability, safety, and homelessness. How we meet those challenges will be decided by the choices you make today. I’m asking you to choose a stronger Edmonton — one where we build forward instead of cutting backward. To protect and improve the services that make life more affordable. To build a city that’s safer for everyone. Vote for me, Andrew Knack, and vote for a stronger Edmonton. #yeg #yegvote

.Secretary Marco Rubio: "There's no world in which the United States is subsidizing investment in Venezuelan oil. It’s very simple. An oil company will go in and say, this is the oil you have, this is how much it's going to cost us investing on the front end to one end make money, pay back our investment plus a profit at the back end, and then, depending on the terms of that investment, they’ll make a decision about whether it makes sense for that or not."

Elon Musk on SpaceX’s Ultimate Mission: “Making Star Trek Real” “Started off with a clear mission, which is to make life multi-planetary, to extend consciousness beyond Earth, to understand the universe. And you can only understand the universe if you go out there and you explore, and you see other planets and ultimately other star systems. And I think one of the most inspiring things that one could possibly imagine, one of the most inspiring futures one could imagine, is one where we’re out there among the stars, and perhaps meeting alien civilizations, or exploring the ruins of civilizations that lasted a million years, but died out 10 million years ago. I think that’s when I wake up in the morning and think about what is inspiring, because we need things in this world that are inspiring. Like life cannot just be about solving one problem or after another. There have to be things that make you look forward to the future. And being a space-faring civilization, I think is the most interesting thing we could possibly do for the future. It is making Star Trek real.”

How much of your life is being shaped by decisions you don’t realise you’re making? Seth Godin has spent decades trying to understand that question. Seth is one of the most influential thinkers in modern marketing, leadership and creativity. He’s a bestselling author who has written more than 20 books, and when I started my career in marketing, his ideas were everywhere. So sitting down with him felt like a full-circle moment. I wanted to find out why we stay in careers, businesses and relationships we know aren’t working, how to know when quitting is the right decision, and what happens as AI changes the world of work. We discussed things like: - How to know when it’s time to quit. - Why fear, status and belonging shape your choices. - Why AI could change the world more than we expect. - The human skills that could matter more in an AI world. - How to take back control when you feel stuck. One of Seth’s main talking points is that there are forces shaping our decisions that most of us rarely stop to notice. Fear, status, the years or money we’ve already invested, and the systems around us can all make us feel like we have fewer choices than we actually do. What I like about Seth is that he doesn’t tell you what decision to make. He helps you see what is influencing that decision so you can make it for yourself. With AI changing so quickly, I think the ability to adapt, question the path you’re on and know when to change direction is going to matter more than ever. Seth said something that I think sits at the heart of this entire conversation: “We still get to decide.” When so much around us is changing, remembering that we still have a say in what happens next really matters. Out now on all platforms. Let me know what you think of this one in the comments ❤️

WEN MARKETING? "The tech is great, but wen marketing?" That's one of the most common pieces of critical feedback we get but if you know anything about us, you know that we love critical feedback because it helps us understand how we can make more rapid progress on our mission to accelerate decentralization through accessibility. We’ve heard your feedback which is why we’ve been working hard on a marketing campaign that we’re really very, very excited about because it will dramatically expand awareness of Koinos while staying true to our roots and our values. The objective guiding the campaign is clear, ambitious, and achievable: we’re going to onboard 20 new dApps and 100,000 users in 6 months. It’s a holistic plan that involves targeted developer outreach, community engagement, promotional activities, challenges, and more. Koinos has a totally unique backstory which requires an equally unique marketing campaign that calls upon our most valuable resource: You, the Koinos Community. This campaign isn't just about reaching our goals; it's about exposing the world to this amazing community and movement to make decentralized applications accessible to all. With Koinos a developer can build a successful blockchain-based application in just ONE WEEK, at practically NO COST. That means developers have virtually no RISK when they build on Koinos. And Koinos is equally low risk for users who don’t even need to acquire tokens before using applications which simultaneously delivers the kind of frictionless user experience that allows applications to GO VIRAL. By DERISKING both development and usage, Koinos unblocks adoption and creates the opportunity for exponential growth. In short, Koinos has the potential to transform the world by mainstreaming decentralization and we want to expose as many developers to this opportunity as possible. In the coming days and weeks, we will reveal more details about the campaign and how you can get involved, whether you’re a dApp developer or an advocate for decentralization. So stay tuned and be sure to follow us on twitter KoinosGroup 🔮 and to learn more about #Koinos, go to

🚨NYC Shutting Down Another Traffic Lane – Causing More Gridlock and Making You Pay for It !! 🚨 I’ve been investigating the streets of New York City for a long time. As a NYC driver, I see firsthand how congestion and traffic aren’t just happening by accident—they’re being created by the city’s own bad street designs. And now, they expect us to pay for it with congestion pricing, draining the wallets of middle- and lower-class New Yorkers. Last month alone, the city made over $50 million from congestion pricing—money taken straight from the pockets of hardworking New Yorkers who have no choice but to drive. And instead of fixing the streets, they’re making things even worse. Now, the city is rolling out a new street design that will shut down another traffic lane on Sixth Avenue to make way for a double-wide bike lane. This means fewer lanes for cars, leading to even more gridlock in one of the busiest parts of Manhattan. Sixth Avenue is already packed with delivery trucks, taxis, rideshares, buses, and regular commuters—now the city is making it worse by cutting down road space even further. What do they think is going to happen when they remove a lane of traffic from one of the most congested streets in Midtown? Traffic will back up even more, drivers will be forced to sit in gridlock for longer periods, and emergency vehicles will struggle to get through. This isn't about making the streets better—this is about making it impossible to drive in NYC, forcing people to give up their cars and rely on an already broken public transit system. Meanwhile, bike lanes keep getting expanded while the city ignores the real traffic problems. The reality is, bike lanes aren’t being used nearly as much as the city wants you to believe. Most of the time, they sit empty, while cars and buses are crammed into fewer and fewer lanes. This isn’t about safety—it’s about forcing an anti-car agenda on the people who actually need to drive. And what’s their solution? They want to force you onto the subway—a transit system that’s more dangerous than ever. Over the past few months, we’ve all seen the rise in subway violence—stabbings, robberies, and assaults happening daily. The same politicians who created this mess, like Governor Hochul and the MTA, expect us to just accept it. Instead of making the trains safer, they’re making driving impossible. And let’s talk about the MTA—New York’s never-ending money pit. Billions of dollars pour into the system every year, and yet we never see any real improvements. Trains still break down, stations are filthy, service is unreliable, and crime is out of control. The MTA always claims they need more funding, yet no one ever asks where all the money is actually going. Meanwhile, the people who rely on the subway are stuck dealing with fare hikes, delays, and dangerous conditions. But the damage doesn’t stop there. I’ve been speaking with business owners throughout New York City, and they all tell me the same thing—sales are down since congestion pricing rolled out. With fewer people driving into the city, foot traffic has dropped, and small businesses are suffering. Shops, restaurants, and other local businesses that rely on a steady flow of customers are now seeing empty stores and struggling to stay afloat. Business owners have told me the city just isn’t the same anymore. This isn’t about reducing congestion—it’s about punishing drivers, killing small businesses, and squeezing more money out of the people who can least afford it. New York City is no longer a place for the working class. The politicians and bureaucrats behind this mess don’t care—because they’re not the ones stuck in traffic, struggling to run a business, or riding the subways in fear. We are.

Shuler: If you think about every industrial revolution we’ve been through, working people have helped us make that transition. It’s really because we’ve helped tame the technology and figured out how to use it in the most effective way. So I think your question about augmentation versus replacement is the big question we have. If we can all agree that this is about making our jobs better, safer, easier, and more productive, then we’re all in. But if you’re looking to de-skill, dehumanize, and replace workers, to put people out on the street with no path forward, then absolutely you’re going to have a revolution. So I think that’s something we all need to be very real about and think seriously about. If we’re going to have productivity gains, working people—the ones who make these industries happen—need to share in that. There hasn’t been a lot of discussion about that here. Of course, in terms of how we create policies, how we create tax infrastructure, whether or not we are redistributing—yes, that word is a dirty word around here—we need to talk about it and confront how we’re going to make sure working people share in the gains of these technologies. And if you look at the numbers of jobs, let’s talk about job quality. Yes, maybe there are a lot of jobs created, but what kind of jobs are we talking about? Are they jobs that can sustain a family? Is it a job where people can actually work one job? One job should be enough.

The public reaction to a video of a Melbourne woman being stabbed while walking to work has been one of horror and dismay, as Victorians come to terms with the failures of both government and police to address the out of control crime wave. So it comes as no surprise for many of us to learn that this attack happened weeks ago, and at some level whether government or police it was decided to keep information about the dangers faced by the public in Melbourne hidden. This is especially insulting considering that Jacinta Allan was on television just days ago telling the public how safe they are in Victoria, when it's obvious that is the furthest thing from the truth at the moment. This woman was lucky to have survived, with the knife missing her heart by inches, while still rendering her in hospital for three days with a punctured lung. How many more Victorians have to suffer and die before the Allan government and Victoria Police come clean about their failures, or start taking real action to keep the community safe from these criminals running wild on bail?

The public reaction to a video of a Melbourne woman being stabbed while walking to work has been one of horror and dismay, as Victorians come to terms with the failures of both government and police to address the out of control crime wave. So it comes as no surprise for many of us to learn that this attack happened weeks ago, and at some level whether government or police it was decided to keep information about the dangers faced by the public in Melbourne hidden. This is especially insulting considering that Jacinta Allan was on television just days ago telling the public how safe they are in Victoria, when it's obvious that is the furthest thing from the truth at the moment. This woman was lucky to have survived, with the knife missing her heart by inches, while still rendering her in hospital for three days with a punctured lung. How many more Victorians have to suffer and die before the Allan government and Victoria Police come clean about their failures, or start taking real action to keep the community safe from these criminals running wild on bail?

☝️“In one of the US laws that explicitly mentions Russia, the stated goal is to "democratize" the Russian Federation. Can you imagine us setting a goal in our own domestic legislation to "democratize" the United States? You know, that is at least impolite. But in principle, we could do it, and there are reasons for that. Everyone is well aware that twice in US history, a president has come to power who was elected by a majority of electors but had a minority of voters behind him. Is that democratic? No. Democracy is the power of the people, the power of the majority. How is it possible that a person is elected to the highest office in the state by a minority of voters? There is such a problem in the US Constitution. But we are not demanding that you change your Constitution, are we?” - President Putin.

My goal in this budget process has always been to make sure we’re funding core, basic services in a balanced and disciplined manner. We know there is an inherent tension between asking people to pay rates, fees and taxes— and the issue of affordability. We want to make sure our city can provide the quality-of-life services that our residents deserve, but we also want to make sure we’re putting affordability first in our community. While I worry a lot about affordability, I also worry about the ability of our city to deliver quality services without more revenue. I strongly believe that if we're not making the kinds of investments we need to make in our people and our services, we will be managing decay in Austin in a very short period of time. This budget will not meet everyone’s concept of perfection. Truthfully, there are parts of the budget that I don’t like. That goes with living in a big, diverse city—different people will have different priorities, and we need to make room for all of us. Now, it is time for us to trust our voters. Voters have an opportunity in November to make a very important decision. From my perspective, the best part of this budget is that we fully fund our homeless strategy office. That was my greatest emphasis, and we've achieved it. It will make a world of difference in getting homeless people off the street in a very short period of time. I'm also very pleased with what we’ve added to funding for public safety, EMS, and wildfire prevention. A positive vote in the November tax rate election will allow us to pay for these needed services. And we make a significant investment in our parks. I look forward to a result that will be the best benefit of our community.

When I spoke with CNN about the border wall project, I made my position clear: if the facts on the ground showed a need for a barrier here, I would support it. They don’t. That isn’t opposition to border security, it’s a recognition that effective border security isn’t one-size-fits-all. Different stretches of the border present different terrain, threats, traffic patterns, and enforcement challenges. What makes sense in one location may not make sense in another. In the Big Bend, decisions about security and infrastructure should be driven by demonstrated need and the realities on the ground, not simply by applying the same solution to every mile of the border. This is our home. We know the terrain, we know the challenges, and we know what our communities and law enforcement face every day. Secure the border with the tools that actually fit the mission.

Mockler: First of all, we have to do a cost benefit analysis on this and talk about what the timelines from here look like. So there's one timeline in which we go boots on the ground or try to actually go for the nuclear capacities or try to do regime change via boots on the ground. That is catastrophic due to the geography of Iran. It is surrounded by mountains. They have a bunch of people in the irgc who are very radicalized. There's also another path, another timeline, where we go for an off ramp and we start to back up. In that timeline, we are left with a regime that is more radicalized. So those are the two timelines. I don't care if we have some short term wins. The cost benefit analysis of this war does not make sense. We are losing troops, losing lives, losing money for two timelines are going to make the world more dangerous.

Marc Andreessen’s 2 reasons for why founder-run companies are harder to disrupt “If you just look historically at many of the important technology companies of the last 50-100 years, many of them are run by their founders for decades… And a lot of it has to do with disruption.” Marc continues: “There’s this cliché of founders that a lot of people believe which is that founders are too stubborn and founders get too locked into their original idea and they can’t adapt as times change. We’ve actually found the opposite to be true. We’ve found that when a company is going to get disrupted, the person in many cases with the best odds of countering the disruption is the founder, and I think there’s a couple of different reasons for that.” The two reasons Marc shares are: 1. The founder remembers when the business was nothing, and are constantly haunted by the fact that the business could be a zero again: “The founder remembers what it was like when there was nobody else in the office with you and when you carried out your own trash can. The founder remembers this thing used to be zero.” 2. The founder carries enormous moral weight inside the company and can more easily make drastic changes: “When Steve Jobs goes into Apple and says times are changing we need to do X - and X is heresy… A Steve jobs - a founder - is going to be able to convince the company that they have to do that. Whereas if a professional CEO shows up and says that, everybody’s going to be like, ‘Ooh, I don’t know.’” Source: Startup Grind (Feb 2016)
