Québécois à #Toronto. Toots in English et #francais
I previously was the co-founder and ran operations for two #ecommerce #smallbusiness stores that work with artisans in the #Philippines
I also work as an IT consultant on #Salesforce, mostly working with #retail brands.

Many months late but I did a pilgrimage to the Line 6 Finch West LRT.
Rode from Finch West to Humber and back (with a stop at Plaza Latina)
I liked the train, comfortable and mostly smooth.
But after Chow announcement that signal priority was active… I wonder if they had to roll it back? We had to stop at almost half the red lights. This line would be amazing if only it wasn’t stopping all-the-time.
This is a recent map of the project, it's unclear if this is what is being funded and if the 3 segments are what will be delivered.
WE ARE NEGOTIATING PEACE WITH YOU, WHETHER YOU WANT IT OR NOT
The Trump presidency in a nutshell
Mstdn.ca has cancelled their state of the instance.
It was supposed to happen Sunday.
An email had been sent Saturday morning as a reminder so it looks like circumstances have changed between the reminder and the cancellation late tonight
A future date will be shared eventually
Lily Cheng in #Willowdale is again advocating against new housing next to a subway station
According to her, adding 2000 new residents to the neighborhood would be a risk to lose the Costco (???). As if adding new people to the neighborhood would make Costco leave.
Yes some "essential local retail shops" (aka Starbucks) would leave... But there's no shortage in that area, it's beyond ridiculous.
Read in my local #Willowdale facebook group. So glad those people can't block... fourplex anymore.
Imagine the outrage if a 3 million dollar home was to be built and would require letters, public consultations, etc, etc. But yet, when it's 4 families moving in, they would LOVE the opportunity to join a meeting and scream at this idea.
Of course the article is missing photos of the Iranian flag, so here it is
Also link to the Phd thesis described in the article:

It’s what I believe since the beginning of the Iran bombardment.
Trump thought he could do like Venezuela. Quick change of power, put an ally in place, no occupying military force needed. Looks like a hero. That’s what he wants for Cuba too.
But now he’s in deep shit. Every day the war continues without a change of power, he looks like a loser. War is not popular and oil price is skyrocketing, the entire opposite of what the game plan was to get mid term votes.
I was on the floor above the parking of this building on the terrace when it started shaking.
Started slow, locked in eyes with another gringo as we both realized what was happening.
Then it started shaking more which was our signal to run down the stairs very quickly as we had no idea how solid it was being on there.
Then we got the national alert on our phone
Epicentre was about 70km away
5.9 according to Google
5.7 according to the national earthquake service of Mexico, but their website is down (???)
