Yet another handle change for this work Twix account. Making it industry-specific was bad design, I guess.

This is why I am so concerned that @FinanceCanada prioritize the implementation of #OpenBanking. The folks that are harmed most by delays are those who are not well served by our banking system as it stands today... and innovators like #Borrowell that are trying to help them.

I've been using this service for a year now so I understand this. My sense though is that the problem is not with #borrowell, but rather with my bank. It became difficult to remain connected once I had to report my rent monthly, which was certainly not the case in the beginning.

Every 🇬🇧 pub has the same sign behind the bar… “Free Beer Tomorrow”. Where do we hang the sign “Functional RTR Tomorrow”? Want change? Governance in the financial sector needs to become entirely independent from the organizations that dominate the sector.

I love to get admonished by the Financial Post. 🗞️

Forgot to post this the day of, but this is a few of the BComm class of 1997 reunion attendees admiring the new(ish) Dalhousie @rowebusiness building. We couldn't get over how dry the entrance to the computer lab was.

I'm waiting to speak with a delivery company whose hold music seems to be a 32KBit Enya stream. At some point you have to ask yourself, "Do we even *want* customers?"


Everyone at my company refers to vacation time as PTO, but having grown up on a farm all I can think of when someone says that is a tractor's power take-off.


In this shift from banking to wine, tech-stack wise I have gone from core banking to ERP. So far it seems like swapping out a Rube Goldberg machine for an omniscient haystack.


While I've left the financial industry, I'm excited to see this report finally be released. #OpenBanking is a change I wholeheartedly believed in and fought for while at @EQBank, and as an advocate for consumer data rights I'll continue watching with great interest. #onward

So pleased to see @FinanceCanada Minister @cafreeland release the final report from her Advisory Committee on #OpenBanking. It is excellent, as expected. Thank you Minister! This playbook provides a clear path forward and 🇨🇦 consumers & SMEs will be huge beneficiaries. #cdnpoli



Handle change to match industry change complete, now that Twitter's 30-day cooling off period is done. Hi there wine industry!


After nearly 8 years at Equitable, and 22 years in banking overall, I’m leaving the industry. Next week I begin a new role in an industry about which I’m incredibly passionate: wine. linkedin.com/pulse/im-leavi…

Moved into a new house Friday. One of the first tasks was making sure I'm ready for work tomorrow morning. As far as office views go, this one isn't bad.

On behalf of the whole team who worked on it, thanks. It's an honour.

Hey vendors trying to get meetings with me or pitch random products like I have nothing else going on right now: read the room.


Sometimes I feel like the Office365 MyAnalytics email is trolling me.
