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.

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.
