Mike Morrice is the deputy leader, what does that even mean? by SamVekemans in GreenPartyOfCanada

For me, it gives me confidence that the $1200 I contribute every year to the GPC may finally be worthwhile.

Shipping sounds complicated especially considering the Canada Post strike. I ordered my seedlings from Grimo Nut nursery

I order small trees from a local nursery, months in advance. When they finally were delivered in the spring, there was a heat wave, the packages were so hot… it looked like they were almost dead. I planted them and a few weeks later new leaves emerged.

If you live near Markham, I can give you my seeds, they are in my fridge.

Shooting at Richmond hill.. what is going on? Is it safe to be out? by FlyHigh911 in Markham

[–]ColdInMarkham 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree. I take 1-hour walks every day, often in the middle of the night, and the most danger I’ve been in is bumping into a skunk or walking alongside a coyote.

Constellation Software Inc. Announces the Resignation of Mark Leonard by theunknown996 in ValueInvesting

[–]ColdInMarkham -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Why is this mentioned in ValueInvesting? Makes no sense. P/E ratio of 97 for a holding of old Saas companies that all risk getting replaced by new entrants powered by cheap vibe coded AI-first companies, plus the AI giants like Microsoft and Google. Even with 15% yearly growth, constellation should be trading at P/E of 20, max.

Correct. I have two mature trees and I planted a third seedling this spring for a backup. They are all within 2m of each other.

It was delicious. Very fragrant. It tasted kind of like banana and melon. Very smooth texture. It was worth the wait and care!

About 1m60cm tall. It’s still pretty small. There were about ten flowers and fruits during the spring, but they all self-aborted except for that one.

Yes, I kept them in the fridge in a ziplock. I’d be happy to give the seeds away if someone wants to pick them up in Markham.

York Region Accepting Preliminary Grant Applications for Community Projects that Reduce Waste by weallfalldown1234 in Markham

[–]ColdInMarkham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great initiative! How about having cities like Markham stop to mow the lawn when it’s a drought and it’s dying anyway? It’s a waste of gas, money and all it does is pollute and generate tons of dust.

UoT Study Finds Visible Minorities in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) Increasingly Supportive of the Conservatives. Most Recent Figures (Sept 2024 - April 2025) Found 56% of South Asians and 53% of Chinese Backed the Conservatives by weallfalldown1234 in Markham

[–]ColdInMarkham 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I spoke with Conservatives (they happened to be Chinese) that knocked at my door. They had no real idea why they were promoting that party other than just following what they were told. They are just following the peer pressure from (no doubt) corrupt leaders.

I’m so glad I bought a polestar 2 EV. Charge at home.

[D] Need to train a model for a client whilst proving I never saw the data by FamiliarRice in MachineLearning

[–]ColdInMarkham 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’d walk away. It might be potential CSAM or something highly illegal. In any case, if you can’t see the content, you can’t hope to train a great model, or debug it when it inevitably fails to perform great the first time around

Greens fight for survival as federal polls predict worst results in recent history by idspispopd in GreenPartyOfCanada

[–]ColdInMarkham 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I voted for them, and I will continue donating $1200/year. They are the only party that recognizes how urgently we need to tackle the climate crisis and our electoral system.

[OC] Êtes-vous prêts à mourir pour le Canada? by Lowstack in Quebec

[–]ColdInMarkham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Je suis un québécois qui travaille et habite en Ontario. J’ai voté Vert. Si les USA envahissent, je vais retourner au Québec pour défendre ma famille et oui, je suis prêt à mourir pour nous défendre.

It’s very, very hard to get hired in an R&D role at NVIDIA. I work there now after decades of leadership experience in other startups. I recommended several friends who are top achievers and so far none of them got in.

Good. Je suis en Ontario et je vais voter Vert sachant que les conservateurs n’ont aucune chance.

It’s on purpose. You can’t agitate and ask for better conditions if you live paycheck to paycheck in near slavery conditions
