wow I haven’t been on twitter in a while. @mcuban - come on now, you never bought this for real did you????
As a marketer this is the dumbest comment I’ve seen in a while. As a brand person, you’re saying you would put 28 M in your budget - to use @kawhileonard as your spokesperson - to build your TREE PLANTING brand? Is it his commitment to sustainability? #WTF #sponsorship

Trump ravaged conservative South with his trade war. In unexpected battleground state Mississippi, international trade supports 20% of all employment. Top destination for Mississippi exports? Trump arch-enemy, Canada.

.30 minutes and counting on hold for @Rogers to tell them I've sold a house and need to cancel. The @crtc rules allowing easy cancellation cannot come fast enough. Any why doesn't Rogers offer a call back service exactly?

Hi @RogersHelps I’ve now been on hold for over an hour trying to cancel my Internet service. I’m giving Rogers formal notice here that I am cancelling my Internet service effective today, September 15, 2026. Please confirm receipt and let me know how to complete the cancellation.

This is what antisemitic hate looks like. Grotesque, dehumanizing imagery, rooted in well-known antisemitic caricatures, displayed openly in a Toronto Jewish neighbourhood. After @CanadianFSWC filed a complaint, @TorontoPolice's Hate Crime Unit investigated. Muhammad Anas Sial has now been arrested and charged with public incitement of hatred, and the sign and other evidence have been seized. Hate must be confronted. And it must be met with real consequences.

There are too many charities, and not enough charity. All the overlap and competition for funding and resources by competing charities, is crazy.

What happens when media dies? In 2007 I argued it meant governments could control the narrative. And as we are now seeing, that’s terrible for everyone. leighhimel.blogspot.com/2007… #media #JimmyKimmel #FreeSpeech

I’m on Team Ballmer. As much as I wish they circumvented the salary cap, First Steve isn’t that dumb. If he did try to feed KL money, knowing what was at stake for him personally, and his team, do you think he would let the company go bankrupt ? Knowing all creditors would be visible to the world ? They got scammed by Aspiration, along with many others. Crimes for which they pleaded guilty last week. Scammers do scammy things. They did a $300m sponsorship deal with the clippers in 2021. That’s a HUGE deal. The better the team does , the more value the sponsorship has. It actually makes perfect sense that if they stole money from investors and want the clippers to succeed, why not give stolen money to help keep their best player ? It’s sad that @PabloTorre didn’t take the time to find out how these scammers pulled off their scam. The idea that the default is Ballmer is the bad guy is going to back fire on him.

I was scanning for some #goodnews to retweet. Thought we could all use some. I found nothing! So i've uploaded my #dogsoftwitter eating sticks. Because who doesn't love dogs eating sticks?

Just want to say @DisneyPlus is worth it just for unlimited downloads. @CraveCanada @Netflix_CA etc all have limitations which doesn’t work for off the grid camping in #Canada. (crave i mean 20 downloads? not even 1 season of love island) #streaming

Someone needs to explain to me, how a bank can callow 10 million to leave an account with not even a phone call when they freeze my card if I shop too much. This story about @scotiabank is a cautionary tale about their CX. Happy to be with @RBC theglobeandmail.com/arts/mus… #fraud

This made me laugh (from somewhere on linkedin) —> 😝 “So now Accenture Song is out, and Jaguar is “seeking a new agency.” Maybe one that remembers they’re not selling art installations — they’re selling cars.” #branding #Maketing @Jaguar

Here is an idea to save tax money and improve our health care: get rid of #Health811 A 7 hr wait to get a nurse to call - with same convo 'if you're worried, go to the emergency'. What is the point? And how could that money be better spent? #Ontpoli

.@LinkedIn just said thanks for 19 years on the platform. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long since social media came into the world. It was so much fun at the beginning. Felt like the birth of Democracy vs its demise. Any hoodle… #media #business #socialnetworks
