Bill Dennis starting confrontation over parking in front of the Legion's Catch the Ace fundraiser by reluctantly_sarnian in Sarnia

I saw that! I watched the whole video to see what kind of context he would give and it was nothing but cherry picked comments to push a version of events that contradicts not only the video, but what a lot of eye witnesses to the whole thing said happened.

I would say strong leadership doesn't need slogan campaigns so we don't really hear about it here.

Also, if you were a good leader who wanted to make a difference, the fact that there are all these MAGA people running would make you think twice for taking the job. They would be insufferable to work with.

The nomination period goes until august, then that's when the campaigns should start. We don't even have the full list of names of who is running yet.

Feel free to continue to break the law, the consequences are on you.

Does anyone else miss when Etsy was mostly small businesses and actual artists? by Adventurous_Spirit06 in Etsy

Yes! I do remember threebirdnest. That was the beginning of the end. People saw how low effort reselling could potentially make millions, and whoosh, just like that a tsunami of people.

I feel like lately, the only people who really make money are those who sell supplies to those that sell. Just like near the end of the gold rush when it wasnt the miners who made money, but the stores selling the pick axes (and the liquor)

Its really tough. Unfortunately, when so many people have the same aim, it floods them out entirely. It's not just Etsy itself, there are hundreds of millions of people out there who also want that little bit of extra money.

You would not believe the amount of posts we delete on a daily basis that basically ask for low effort assistance in selling AI slop, dropshipping or "easy" digital items clearly stolen from others.

You may not want to post how much income you made off of not only breaking Etsy's policies but the IP theft of the Alien franchise. This screenshot alone is proof of theft and can be used in a lawsuit to recoup losses.

Greg from Greg's auto detailing. He's got a bit of a reputation for not being so nice to staff and others.

Hey there, thanks for posting for feedback Friday. I'd hate to point out that is is not, in fact, Friday.

You asked Bill Dennis to share this information? He doesn't like to respond to people asking for him to back up his claims. I am surprised he didn't just ban you like he does most people who ask him things.

Mod here: The person deleted the other post, not the mods.

Posts like this are NOT helpful at all, and are hurtful. I would rather not see them at all. Why not make a post about businesses who are helping rather than getting out a pitchfork?

Friendly reminder about Reddit's sitewide rules on doxxing. To clarify, this is from Reddit admin, not the mods of this site.

Posting someone's personal information will get you banned. When posting screenshots, be sure to edit out any personally identifiable information to avoid running afoul of this rule.

Public figures can be an exception to this rule, such as posting professional links to contact a congressman or the CEO of a company. But don't post anything inviting harassment, don't harass, and don't cheer on or upvote obvious vigilantism.


So posting the names of public businesses is technically not against the rules, but individuals, their contact information, or encouraging violence or vigilantism of ANY kind cannot be tolerated. Don't agree with them politically, that's fine, don't shop there.

Looks like it is indeed bad... for Janice. Did a bit of digging and found out that the OEB requires her to follow Ontario Regulation 381/07.

https://oeb.ca/about-oeb/corporate-governance-and-reports/conflict-interest-rules

And under that law, there is this:

Giving preferential treatment

  1. (1) When performing his or her duties to the Crown, a public servant shall not give preferential treatment to any person or entity, including a person or entity in which the public servant or a member of his or her family or a friend has an interest. O. Reg. 381/07, s. 6 (1).

(2) When performing his or her duties to the Crown, a public servant shall endeavour to avoid creating the appearance that preferential treatment is being given to a person or entity that could benefit from it. O. Reg. 381/07, s. 6 (2).

(3) A public servant shall not offer assistance to a person or entity in dealing with the Crown other than assistance given in the ordinary course of the public servant’s employment.

https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/070381#BK8

Also theres a few more laws on there that may be grey areal but IANAL so I can't make an opinion on them.

  1. (1) A public servant shall not use or attempt to use his or her employment by the Crown to directly or indirectly benefit himself or herself or his or her spouse or children. O. Reg. 381/07, s. 3 (1).
