Bluesky CEO Jay Graber on Vancouver, customization and the future of social media
On opening night of the much-anticipated Web Summit conference's first year in Vancouver, the convention centre's main event space was jam-packed with attendees eager to hear from a tech superstar. Jay Graber may not be a household name, but the CEO of the Bluesky social media platform is one of the most high-profile women in the tech world and has a bold new vision for the future of social networking that could revolutionize how we connect with other humans – and maybe even make it fun again. CTV News had a few moments to speak with Graber backstage after her centre stage discussion on 'The Next Era of Social Media' and quickly discovered the Seattle resident is not stranger to Vancouver. 'I actually love it,' she said. 'I find it so interesting how it's this other city on the other side of the Salish Sea and there's a lot of similarities to Seattle, but it's also very different.' The entrepreneur has become a heroic figure for some social media users weary of the deterioration of online discourse and enthusiastic about her platform, which has been hailed as a potential 'Twitter Killer.' What is Bluesky, exactly? Any time Graber speaks about her company, she inevitably has to describe how Bluesky is different from other microblogging platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Threads. The structure of the technology puts it in a position for other developers to design new interfaces or themes or areas of focus with the same user profile and followers. It's this flexibility and 'sky's the limit' ideology that Graber believes could usher in a whole new era of social media where users have more control over what they see and how by choosing algorithms built by different developers, for example. 'The long-term vision is that the atmosphere, the broader ecosystem of all these apps being built around Bluesky – some of them interacting with Bluesky, some of them being built more on top of it, and some of them being completely their own thing – can all start to flourish and kick off an era of innovation in social that we haven't seen in a long time,' she said. New users flock to the 'sky' It's a huge goal for an app that had been invite-only until last year, but new users signed up in droves after the U.S. election, and the platform continues to gain momentum. One of those new sign-ups was an account for Mark Carney, which popped up when he was still the Liberal leader. While his staff continue to use X, he is now the first Canadian prime minister to use Bluesky just as often, and Graber acknowledges that has helped add to the platform's legitimacy. In fact, her staff flagged the account for her early on as they sought to make sure it was, in fact, associated to the real Mark Carney. 'Now we have verifications and the delegated verification system, which means that we're able to start verifying more folks,' Graber said. 'I think it's becoming a better and better place for breaking news and a lot of this is why there's notable people joining.' So does Graber think Bluesky has the principles, flexibility, and foundation to fix or maybe rehabilitate jaded users' relationships with social media? 'We hope so, that's what we're trying to build,' she explained. 'Anyone who decides that, you know, Bluesky out of the box isn't completely what they want can go in and customize it under the hood.' Considering that's not easy for the layperson to do, Graber has an open invitation to fellow entrepreneurs and coders to come up with their own take on the social media experience. '(If) you want to zoom in on something that you like more, you can customize your corner of Bluesky,' she said. 'It can really be a 'choose your own adventure.''

Uranium-Vanadium Project Fully Funded Through Feasibility Study and Potential Development
With the uranium market in a growing global supply deficit and the price per pound having more than tripled since 2016 to US$67, the demand for new resources is hitting a generational high. Not since the commodity supercycle of 1996 to 2011, driven by rapidly industrializing markets such as Brazil, India, Russia and China, has uranium experienced such pronounced momentum. This time around, demand for clean energy from governments and end users around the world has continued to rise, highlighting nuclear energy's lack of emissions, high density and competitive costs as key pillars to global decarbonization goals. According to the International Energy Agency, this has resulted in 63 nuclear reactors currently under construction housing over 70 gigawatts of capacity, a level not seen since 1990. Despite dozens of projects underway propelled by the push away from fossil fuels, Visual Capitalist estimates a 164-million-pound gap between production and demand for uranium oxide (U 3 O 8 ) by 2040, providing investors with an incentive to build positions in high-conviction resource developers intent on shoring up supply. Blue Sky Uranium's blue-sky potential Blue Sky Uranium (TSXV:BSK), with a market capitalization of C$16.75 million, is well positioned to capitalize on long-term uranium demand growth with its over 480,000-hectare, six-project portfolio highlighted by its flagship Amarillo Grande project in Argentina, which is advancing its flagship uranium-vanadium deposit towards advanced engineering studies and potential production with its Argentine option/joint venture partner. From a bird's eye view, Argentina is an ideal market for Blue Sky. The country has three nuclear power plants in operation, and one under construction, consuming approximately 500,000 pounds of U 3 O 8 per year, plus two in the planning phase and two more under proposal, with no national production. The Amarillo Grande project Blue Sky's Amarillo Grande project in southern Argentina, located in the Rio Negro province within the Neuquén basin and totaling approximately 300,000 hectares of mineral rights, features three main properties – Ivana, Anit and Santa Barbara – which house numerous uranium and vanadium discoveries made by the company along a 145 kilometre (km) trend delineated over the span of two decades. The mineralization found to date is located at or near surface – generally less than 25 metres – making it relatively low-cost to explore. It is also hosted in loosely consolidated sediments meaning that no drilling, blasting or coarse crushing would be required for future mine development. Uranium mineralization is of the surficial and sandstone varieties. Comparable styles of sandstone deposits produce a significant amount of the world's uranium, including over 40% in 2022. These deposits act as important geologic models that help guide Blue Sky's ongoing exploration and potential future development. (Source: Blue Sky Uranium) The Ivana property Amarillo Grande's Ivana property, only 25 km north of Valcheta City, where Blue Sky maintains an exploration camp and office, contains an indicated resource of 17 million pounds of U 3 O 8 and 8.1 million pounds of vanadium pentoxide (V 2 O 5 ), plus an inferred resource of 3.8 million pounds U 3 O 8 and 2.4 million pounds V 2 O 5 , making it the largest uranium deposit in all of Argentina. (Source: Blue Sky Uranium) Ivana's 2024 preliminary economic assessment details an after-tax net present value (discounted at 8 per cent) of US$227.7 million at a base-case of US$75 per pound U 3 O 8 , yielding production of 16.5 million pounds U 3 O 8 over an 11-year mine life. At average all-in sustaining costs net of credits of only US$24.95 per pound U 3 O 8 , entailing a payback period of only 1.9 years, Ivana is positioned for potential meaningful unencumbered cash flow. Ivana's 2025 exploration program To date, Blue Sky has identified Ivana's mineralization within a 5 km high-grade corridor that reaches up to 500 metres wide and 23 metres in thickness, with clear signs of exploration upside to be tested in 2025. (Source: Blue Sky Uranium) The 2025 exploration plan includes over 7,000 metres of drilling, including infill and exploration holes. Drilling is slated to begin in Q2 and last for approximately 6 months. Ivana's joint venture with COAM Ivana's development path through feasibility and into potential production is fully funded by joint venture partner Abatare Spain, S.L.U. (COAM), which must spend US$35 million within the next 36 months to earn a 49.9 per cent interest in the property. COAM can earn an up to 80 per cent interest in Ivana by completing a feasibility study and spending up to US$160 million to advance the project into commercial production, with Blue Sky incurring zero costs along the way. Luis Leandro Rivera will serve as General Manager of the joint venture operating company, applying his more than 30 years of mining experience from exploration to operations, including as Senior Vice President of Latin America at AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE:AU), where he oversaw operations, sustainability and finance at four mines in two countries. Before that, he was General Manager of AGA's Cerro Vanguardia mine in Argentina. Under Rivera's guidance, the joint venture is vetting engineering groups for prefeasibility/feasibility work, with contracts expected to be established over the coming months as the team prepares for upcoming drilling. Blue Sky management believes it has a strong chance of becoming Argentina's first uranium producer, while continuing to deliver shareholder value from exploring its vast land holdings not included in the joint venture. Blue Sky's untapped portfolio is overseen by a leadership team with strong geology and exploration backgrounds, major miner relationships and Argentinian mining experience that dates back to the opening of foreign investment in 1993. The company is also a member of the Grosso Group, whose discovery-rich history (slide 5) has earned it a leadership position in South American mineral exploration, making it an invaluable resource propelling Blue Sky's development journey. In more than capable hands, Blue Sky's advanced uranium project, fortified by a rich set of exploration targets, makes a strong case for long-term value creation. An energy transition story with upside potential Uranium's emissions-free profile is in line with increasingly critical net-zero goals, making it one of the solutions emerging for a green energy transition. According to the Nuclear Energy Agency, uranium demand could rise by as much as 140 per cent by 2050, surpassing 142,000 tons per year, as the threat of climate change grows in urgency and more governments realize that the element's high density makes national energy security more efficient to achieve. (Source: Blue Sky Uranium) It's against this backdrop that Blue Sky will undertake 2025 drilling at Ivana, providing multiple potential catalysts for value creation.

‘Protect Bathurst' campaign uses AI-generated videos to fight proposed bus lanes
As business owners push back against dedicated bus lanes on Bathurst Street, some are turning to artificial allies. With the proposed expansion of the city's RapidTO bus lane program — trading 138 paid parking spots on Bathurst for faster commutes — some business owners have rallied under a 'Protect Bathurst' campaign, aiming to warn the community of the priority lanes' impact on local businesses. However, the campaign has used AI-generated videos on its Instagram page to warn that reduced parking will block car-bound shoppers and people with mobility issues. Two of the campaign's videos mimic a grassroots approach — people strolling outside, warning how bus lanes could hurt local businesses. But, the same footage has appeared in ads for other causes, with only the script swapped. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW 'Now, don't get me wrong, priority lanes are crucial during rush hour,' one video says. 'But what about the rest of the time? Why not give access back to the community when it's not rush hour? It's time for a solution that works for everyone — commuters, residents and businesses alike.' Gta The battle for a bus lane: Why rapid transit on this Toronto main street is sparking backlash Local businesses say a proposed dedicated bus lane would threaten their livelihoods, while city councillors and many transit riders want to see Gta The battle for a bus lane: Why rapid transit on this Toronto main street is sparking backlash Local businesses say a proposed dedicated bus lane would threaten their livelihoods, while city councillors and many transit riders want to see The new dedicated bus routes are part of a proposed expansion of the city's RapidTO bus lane program onto Dufferin Street (from Dufferin Gate to Eglinton Avenue West) and on Bathurst Street (for buses and streetcars, from Lake Shore Boulevard to Eglinton Avenue West). Approved by the TTC board, the proposed lanes could be changed depending on input from public consultations. Three public consultations (two in-person and one virtual) for the Bathurst street bus lanes were held earlier this month. Before the routes are installed, the proposal will need the approval of city council. Star contributing columnist Shawn Micallef posted about the videos on BlueSky Tuesday night. In a thread, he pointed out that one of the campaign's two videos has been used by several companies, with the same person promoting different products from stocks to personal trainers to solar panels. A reverse image search conducted by the Star found 45 identical matches of one of the videos across social media — some in different languages. A separate image search conducted by the Star show a second video from the campaign appeared in at least three other company ads. The TTC and city's plans for proposed priority bus lanes on Bathurst Street. TTC and City of Toronto Public domain registration records show the 'Protect Bathurst' website was registered by a food marketing consultant for Summerhill Market, an independent grocery store with six locations in Toronto — including one on Bathurst Street. The campaign's website lists no spokesperson or contact information, and its layout closely resembles 'Protect Dufferin' — another group of 'concerned residents' opposing the same bus lane expansion on Dufferin Street. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Brad McMullen, president of Summerhill Market, told the Star he helped launch the 'Protect Bathurst' initiative after learning about the proposed bus lanes three weeks ago, when an employee mentioned the dedicated lanes after hearing from a customer. He said his business isn't associated with the campaign's Instagram page, and the AI-generated videos have 'nothing to do with Summerhill Market.' The Star reached out to the Instagram page about its initiative, but received no response. Concerned about the bus lanes' impact, McMullen spoke with other local business owners, and together they started the 'Protect Bathurst' campaign. Contributors Opinion Shawn Micallef: How this transit plan could finally make 'Sufferin' Dufferin' a thing of the past There are 'RapidTO' plans to create transit priority lanes on Dufferin as well as Bathurst streets. Contributors Opinion Shawn Micallef: How this transit plan could finally make 'Sufferin' Dufferin' a thing of the past There are 'RapidTO' plans to create transit priority lanes on Dufferin as well as Bathurst streets. 'In its current form, I think (the proposed bus lanes) will highly limit access for deliveries and customers,' McMullen said. 'Some alternatives have been suggested, but they unfortunately (don't) work for our use.' Half of a large parking lot at their Bathurst location, McMullen said, belongs to Summerhill Market. The bus lanes will clog the lot's driveway as delivery drivers try to pick up orders for customers, McMullen added. Toronto has the eighth-worst traffic in North America, according to a 2024 TomTom report — and buses are stuck in it. TTC data shows average bus speeds have dropped from 20 km/h in 2013 to 17.2 km/h in 2024. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW On Bathurst Street, it's even slower at just 13 km/h, making transit trips up to 75 per cent longer than for drivers for the more than 35,000 riders on the Bathurst bus or streetcar on an average weekday. McMullen said last week all 500 of his employees use the TTC to commute to work, and he's exploring legal options to see if he can slow down the approval process for the bus lanes. The online petition for 'Protect Bathurst' had more than 1,500 signatures on Wednesday afternoon, and a public survey will remain open until May 26. 'I'm still grappling with the impact,' McMullen said, 'and how to navigate the impact of the proposal.' With files from Andy Takagi
