Keep resisting America

You see Carney is not an experienced politician because almost anyone in politics in Canada would know not to talk about Plaines d’Abraham and the British conquest in a speech trying to promote Canadian unity.
So far off the track and disconnected of what people in Quebec know of that event.

At the #Willowdale Climate Action roundtable organized by my local Toronto city councillor Lily Cheng
I’m torned on those events. I wonder how much of it is just to give good conscience to the councillor.
While she keeps voting against more dense neighborhoods and in favor of pro-parking policies

Lily Cheng would like to tell you that it's important to wear reflective vest as a pedestrian, but has nothing to say to drivers about slowing down when conditions are bad.

I've been lucky to run an ecommerce store for 10 years and only got 2 chargebacks.
One of them was a fraudulent one, where customer received the item but claimed it was defective without contacting us, sending us a photo or giving us a chance to make it right. For all we know, it was not defective.

What’s key to understand in Venezuela is that the US did a coup and got the president Maduro out.
But the regime is still there. The VP took power. Chavismo is still in charge. The armed forces, paramilitary, everyone is still around. The opposition, that likely won the last election, is still not in charge.
It’s really unusual. And shows the US, as usual with Trump, might not have much of a plan.

I love taking transit in other cities and see how it compares to home.
Mexico City has of course lots of coverage: 195 stations and 12 lines. It cost 5 pesos (0.40 CAD).
It’s often faster to an equivalent car ride when comparing with Google maps.
It feels safe as a foreigner (totally subjective) and they have reserved female trains as well.
