I’m excited to announce I am returning to @financialpost as a columnist with a focus on personal finance and real estate. It’s a privilege to return to one of the country’s best publications. I owe so much to the FP and @nationalpost for my career. See you all in August.

You have to give @VeritasComm CEO Anthony Scilipoti credit for some tough questions for @CreateTO CEO Vic Gupta during the investment firm’s annual real estate conference — a lively event not sugar coating the market. Lots of hot topics today.

Hey @WonderlandNews can I load my laptop on the coasters this summer?
A new meme — a man was sitting in a work video call while riding a roller coaster When his boss asked about the shaking, the employee calmly replied that he forgot to close the window.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video shows a staged promotional skit for a roller coaster attraction in Ulsan, South Korea, not a genuine work video call. youtube.com/watch?v=pvumkI… futurism.com/advanced-trans…

“@realDonaldTrump is the #Ozempic of the US economy, he is shrinking the US economy.” @cibc’s deputy chief economist Benjamin Tal at @re_forums 2025 event.

And people thought @BlueJays tickets were pricey. Just $1 K to have your kid skate around with a flag before a @MapleLeafs game.

The @BlueJays watch party tickets at a hockey arena are more than I paid for tickets in the 1992 and 1993 World Series. That’s even factoring in inflation.

Happy 27th anniversary @nationalpost. Great to be back at the @financialpost. It seems like only yesterday that FP became part of one of the great newspaper launches.

So it’s okay @BlueJays to resell the wheelchair accessible seat? Nobody tell @fordnation.

I don’t know. I was thinking about this but why should people with a disability face discrimination from reselling their seat to another person in a wheelchair?

Considering it will hit 40 Celsius with humidex in Toronto, couldn’t the city put the ice shavings from rinks in an enclosed play area for kids instead of leaving it outside and have dogs urinate in it?
