Reposted by @ddebow.bsky.socialBuild Toronto @buildtoronto.com · 18/11/2025Toronto's intersections could be so much better. If you've driven, walked, cycled or taken transit in Toronto, you've probably been frustrated by them. Whether that's a green light that's too short for all the demand to clear, or advancing on a green only to be hit by a red at the next block. 101

ddebow.bsky.social @ddebow.bsky.social · 29/04/2025congrats to PM @MarkJCarney and to all who ran, volunteered, engaged, participated, and voted. Democracy is a wonderful gift. Prime Minister & team - please quickly enact policies to Build Canada - as you promised. Canadians - heads down and let’s give’er. We have a country to build. 000

ddebow.bsky.social @ddebow.bsky.social · 16/04/2025hey chud here - only heard of this Yarvin guy a month ago. i certainly don’t follow him. 200
ddebow.bsky.social @ddebow.bsky.social · 16/04/2025that “spokesperson” is me for the record, i think i’ve heard of “the network state” like twice before Jen mentioned it to me. It’s not related to @build_canada in any way. Sheesh. 🤦🏻 I want a thriving democracy, POGG, and growing prosperity for everyone - not a “network state” whatever that is… 031

ddebow.bsky.social @ddebow.bsky.social · 20/03/2025okaaay then. it’s great we can exchange thoughtful ideas on policy and debate the merits. Thanks for this enlightening exchange. 100
ddebow.bsky.social @ddebow.bsky.social · 20/03/2025Left out of the story: - BC aims to have scale builders sponsor papers. - We have actively reached out to women who have built and lead scale business to contribute their ideas. - There are papers in the pipeline where women are the sponsors. 000
ddebow.bsky.social @ddebow.bsky.social · 20/03/2025we’re assholes for volunteering time to try and share policy ideas to help grow the country?! Sheesh 🤦🏻 110

ddebow.bsky.social @ddebow.bsky.social · 09/03/2025Given what’s happening in the world - Canada’s government has to reset its priorities, operations and mindset. This is a way to do it and regain the trust of the people. 000
ddebow.bsky.social @ddebow.bsky.social · 09/03/2025yes: a strong endorsement of public led review, hard choices, transparency, talent density, smart use of technology, and prioritization so we can have the most productive and effective government in the world. 100

ddebow.bsky.social @ddebow.bsky.social · 28/02/2025To me, these calls are shocking. These are not ideological partisans. They care deeply about public service. They don't want to "run gov't like a business". They just want good government, run well & effectively in the service of Canadians. It's not that right now. 000
