Does no one remember the Ashley Madison leaks including .gc.ca emails?

Reminds me of the Boston Tea Party. It was in solidarity with the Great Bengali Famine caused by the East India Company.

There’s a HUGE lobbying effort to convince the people in power that this is a good idea. Lots of tech-surveillance companies bidding for this to go through, so everyone is forced to use their services. You think identity theft is bad now? Wait until you need to put your ID on the internet and that gets leaked.

Related: For people in Toronto, the Canadian Stage currently has a production on called “Universal Childcare”. It’s artsy, educational and fun! Highly recommend checking it out if you are able.

“This is my favourite Indian restaurant.” It has always been my favourite too. I think of John every time I go there. He was old, but passed away suddenly.

It’s weird how the strangest things like this stick with you.

Kinda cool, but heavy strobe warning for any light sensitive people out there.

I’d rather leave it to the experts who study this stuff.

The only one I’ve heard of is called the “triple bottom line”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_bottom_line

Immediate impact:

• wealth tax.

Medium term:

• death tax.
• nonprofit land developments.
• redefinition of the goal of a public corporation from maximizing profit for shareholders to something that makes sense.

Long term:

• effective antitrust legislation, policy, and enforcement.
• worker owned co-ops
• civic education

Edit: I forgot unions and labour protection in immediate impact.

A ton of competition and local universities are freaking out over the loss of international students money with the federal changes.

Have you tried looking at various operations/analyst type roles in Toronto outside your usual search? You’d probably do decently well in those roles. Even project management.

The Canadian conservatives are in bed with the AfD. They hang out. https://newsie.social/@LALegault/111797431037370877

One of the people in that photo is Leslyn Lewis, who ran for the leadership of the federal conservative party the last time around and was touted as “a moderate”. Hahaha.

Get paid to*. This is labour and we’re all exploited.

Companies like this often hire external consultants to do the layoffs. They literally have no skin in the game.

The Toronto horse cops carried around trading cards for their horses as a part of a PR campaign. Ask a cop for one!

Just another way for you to be disappointed by the police. Can’t even do PR right.

Yellowknife has had a housing crisis for decades. Bad choice.

I dread the day I need to take care of my parents to that degree. Parents in the burbs, neither of the kids drive. It’s at least transitable and my parents were decent people. There’s still trauma but it’s healing.

Still, how do you balance work to pay rent with the need to care for ailing loved ones? Something’s going to give when the boomers start becoming disabled en masse.

When we start talking to each other again without paid influence.

The troubles facing us all, middle class and below, are the same troubles. We need to practice working together locally to build something bigger before major movements are likely to work out. How do we rebuild community nonprofit hubs?

You need one of those toddler leash backpacks.

Are you a cheapskate or easily motivated by money? Set yourself a modest junk food budget for a month and track your spending. Set a financial reward for yourself (buy something you want) when you hit that target. Then set a lower target and a longer term reward. Forgive yourself if you go over, and don’t give up.

Junk food is so expensive now that you’ll blow through that budget in no time. Realizing how much this addiction costs you (like weed, smoking, drinking, gambling, etc) is often a great way to make the decision to kick the habit. Even if you can’t stay within the budget, keep tracking your spending. The goal is to reduce if stopping cold turkey isn’t your thing.

If this isn’t for you, what everyone else said might work too.

Be warned, take out/ delivery on NYE usually takes 1-2 hours longer if you’re in the city. Lots of cancellations too. It might ruin your evening.

If they did that, Reddit would just be an aggregator app of the Fediverse with different communities acting as a new subreddit. The difference would be that they’d have ads and algorithms.

On the Fediverse side, it’d be like having a lemmy.ml with 1000x the traffic and activity. We probably have to defederate to keep up with the traffic and the trolling.

On the plus side, 3rd party apps will be back baybee!
