Called it this afternoon. Alberta stays. 🇨🇦 About 78% chose Canada. After a weekend where we lost four soldiers in Wainwright, this one hits different. We're still one country.

Alberta votes today. My prediction: Alberta stays. And not because anyone forced it, but because when it really counts, most of us know we're stronger together. Doesn't matter if you're in Calgary, Ottawa, Montreal or Halifax. We've all been pushed apart lately by politics, by algorithms, by people who profit when we fight. Whatever the result tonight, the job after is the same: listen to each other more, divide less, and start acting like one country again. What would make you feel more connected to Canadians in other provinces? 🇨🇦

Think about the tech you used today. Your phone, your email, your cloud storage, your maps, your work chat. Almost all of it is owned by a handful of American companies. That isn't an anti-American take. It's a dependency problem. Look at Ukraine this month. Starlink speeds were capped on moving terminals, and their drone defences struggled during attacks. Whoever made the call, one decision made thousands of kilometres away changed what happened on the ground. Now imagine that's our internet, our cloud, our emergency systems. That's not just a tech problem. It's a security problem. And we have the talent. Waterloo, Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver turn out some of the best engineers in the world. Then most of them go build for someone else. Canada needs its own cloud, its own satellites, its own tools, built here and owned here. If you could switch one app in your life to a Canadian-built one, which would it be?

Religion. Nationality. Politics. Skin colour. Which side you're on. We've never had more ways to divide ourselves, and we're using every one of them. Meanwhile, people are dying. Families are grieving. And we're still busy arguing in the comments about who deserves sympathy. Pain doesn't check your passport or your religion before it shows up. You don't have to agree with someone to be kind to them. You just have to remember they're human. Be kind today. Somebody out there needs it more than you know.

Four Canadian soldiers didn't come home from training this weekend. 39 more are hurt, and 19 of them are still fighting in hospitals in Edmonton, Red Deer and Calgary. Peacetime. Home soil. Just doing their job. To the families, and to the 3 PPCLI family who lost their own: Canada is with you. 🇨🇦

Walter Isaacson, the guy who wrote Steve Jobs' biography, says Jobs would have hated agentic AI. His reasoning: Jobs wanted computers to be "a bicycle for the mind." Tools that make you faster and more creative, with you still steering. Agents flip that. You don't ride the bike anymore. You tell it where to go and look at your phone. And honestly, I get both sides. I love when a tool just handles the boring stuff. But the stuff I'm proudest of building came from the hours where I was stuck, figuring it out myself. So I keep asking myself whether we're building bicycles or taxis. Which one do you want, a tool that makes you better or one that just does it for you?

Flags are at half-mast across Canada tonight. We lost service members at CFB Wainwright, on home soil, during peacetime training. Dozens more are hurt. They were someone's son, daughter, mom, dad, best friend. If you pass a flag tomorrow, take a second. Say their names when we learn them. Rest easy. 🇨🇦

The older I get, the more I realize how easy hate is. It takes one post to divide people. One angry reply. One "us vs them." It spreads fast, and it pays well in likes. Being kind is so much harder. Reading something cruel and not firing back. Assuming the person on the other side is probably tired, scared, or having a bad day, just like you. In a world this divided, not answering hate with hate might be the hardest thing any of us do. I don't always get it right. But I'm trying.
