toronto citizens can save the world because

[chris macrae]

friend john schneider started first tuesday - back around 2001 it was amazing getting hundreds of youth once a month to brainstorm the future of digital and worldwide human development- it was the monthly mother of all open spaces and toronto is a pretty cross cultural place, one so cold in the winter that collaboration is in the community bones so to speak

i am not sure anything western to do with digitally inspired cooperation dreams since has been so open and truly beneficial to all americans living in a city or anywhere that citizens trustworthiness  impact everyine else-

DC-baltimore - supercity huh? i am interested in sports impressario TEd leonsis defintion of supercity where 25+ million people's families can thrive- the smnartest in the region serve the least advantaged - and the whole region win-wins with lother suoercities and shows its nartions leaders how to trade too- where are the oether supoercities- well some like hangzhou or nairobi have one amazing network the whole world wants to hub with - alubaba or ushadidu's ihub  (before getting into the true value of celebrties, ted was ceo of aol- he met a young bejos and if i understand correctly while amazon keepos bejos busy - he has some fun in futires networks some of which ted also helps to hub

fir thiswe h=who have got out the maps of china- there are now at least 30 suoercities in china where the buzz is like that orf torintio- our yoiung citizens can achieve anything as long as help them open space and get rid of every king of fake media and fake school classroom

many hubs have disappointed me- they claim to want to help youth solve a humanitarian crisis but their fees actually exclude the youth who might have the permissions to test bottom up solutions- this hubs with deep pockets because they are the adjunct of a tech billionnaire who is wise enough not to brand the hiub as his onw are interesting - 1776 is extremely interesting- it has linked inj dc virgina brroklyn san francisco and dua=ba- about 3 yeras ago the canadin governor general came down and awarded 1776 a spoecial plaque - abouth the only space in american that has been enouraging canadian students to co-cfreat international exchanges

canada has also tried to widen the extremely nion-sustainable agendas of the g7 c;lub into the g20- it has shepa'd citizen groups so that in good years like hangzhou's g20 their solutions are what the 20 national leaders celebrate- what else are clusers on antional leaders summits for if they are not to back worldiwde youth's lievlihoods geared to being the sustaionability goal generation

canada is also in anoither critical meta-nation group - the arctic circle- as fas as i know tgis is only 8 nation club where american and rissiand as well as 6 other countreuis nmeet - the arctice will meltdown unless these 8 clountruies wiork together- it may also offer a new world gytarde route - the polar belt which would include communities that have poreviously lived at the edge of existence- many people i have cahhted to who care about mlother earth epect the way the arctic circle goes, will be the way our swhole species goes

canada seems reltively relaxed about its histiry and future in teh woprld- if in spite of all the dar stuff of emire, the move towards commonwealth is really what it says then canada can lead that even when the queens english is currently barred from freely trading in europe; i dont know if canada and uk can join the asian world trade zione together- its certainly urgentb that the silkd riad is restired (conflict respolved by the empitr=re UK that knew most about how it ereceted bodres and divided peopelks whose plaxes had prevuusly been whole thriving subcontinments

thye first ted speech i ever marvelled at was a teenager eva veryes- how at age 19 had she become a world eladung cancer researcher- she was kind enough to explain that toirointo's education susyem was such that if a 13 year old school girl walked into a university lab and could seriously keep up with their ides they would mentor her- i do nit know if ione american city where eiether the school or the university would behave taht way- maybe it should be a crireia of a super city - i f=gather that the new head of un hanbita (former mayor of penang) has a deadline of march 2019 to issue a report to start the 2020s with 20 supoercoties that every youth can linkin to openm space solutions to all under 30s enjot=ying sustainability livelihoods

 itrust toronto will be in that league- when jack ma oiffered to mentor the whole of north amerivcan citizens in creating million new jobs with wnhat he knew only truduau and torointo took him seriousl www.gateway17.com

when blockcain wars started - don taspcott who had alteady been ahead of 3 other digital waves arguing for ytrasnparency started teaching anyine he coukld that blockchian is the last start to realsie every dream we furst thojughh berners lee with the www had freed- the stiry of how mainly west caost americans with the net and wall street bankers spent the next 20 year fal=king media and banking is among the most dismal in any nnation's hiostory let alone usa's which any teen of the 1960s loved for its generisity of saving humanity in teh world wars, rebooyting japan and korea, starting the race to the mmon but then byeb ye mis s amnerican pie - 2 kennedies and one king were assianated - whatever top american poliutucians j=have been doing since then doesnt make me feel the understand the urgent hiamn need for sustainability now we are all interconnecting - thank you tiorontio and of course the hole of canada for keeping belt rioad6 and 12 open to the hope that today's war of visions between under 30s and over 30s will be the first and only one youth ever needed to win
