Lol. Come for the endorsement from a convicted felon, stay for the referring to himself in the third person.

The leader of the Conservative Party: "the CBC doesn't provide anything that people can't get from the marketplace" Canada's largest private TV broadcaster (net worth $41-billion): "hey is it cool if we stop doing The News"

Just because you qualify for government assistance doesn't mean it's easy to get or keep it. I spent months profiling Code for America's work to make benefits easier to get, a seemingly small problem with huge ramifications: bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Well that's nice.

I'm hearing reports of riots in Rosedale and Forest Hill.

Hi! I hope you'll join us next week to imagine what #civictech and civic engagement in Toronto could (should?) look like in the future.

I'm at Civic Tech Toronto's 400th hacknight, brainstorming what we want the city to look like 400 hacknights (8 years) from now. It's been ages since I've been in a room with so many excited conversations happening at once.

SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher slams Hollywood execs: 'They plead poverty, that they’re losing money left and right, when giving hundreds of millions of dollars to their CEOs. It is disgusting — shame on them.'

Our summer of awesome hacknights continues! 🏄🏾 On July 25, co-organizer Alex Olson will share his data analysis of the recent mayoral by-election! Join us to learn what data can tell us about shifting voter attitudes in the city. meetup.com/civic-tech-tor…

lol (What talking about administrative burdens looks like when you pull zero punches.)

Bianca is a national treasure. "If people are so hungry to think about tech moonshots (cringe), imagine the power of organizing government data and information and people around problems rather than ministries and divisions." 💯

Does anyone have an example of a government adopting a civic tech project that was started outside of the public sector?

This is impossible. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

You could write a whole book starting with this screenshot.

🏠 Starting tomorrow (Oct. 10), we're kicking off a month of themed hacknights on #housing. 🏠 It's one of the most pressing issues in Toronto, and we're inviting technologists, advocates, journalists and public servants to share their perspectives. meetup.com/civic-tech-tor…
