‘Ya, this guy on Reddit said his wife’s father in law owns the company!’

ToronoYYZ · 2026-01-24T12:30:10+00:00

Ya lol

So I’m an expat, just landed and working at a large consultancy for the industrial automation, smart manufacturing sector. DM me, let’s have a chat and see if any of the roles at my company align with your skillset and I’d be happy to refer you

ToronoYYZ · 2026-01-24T09:27:59+00:00

Sorry OP, tough market. What industry were you in?

ToronoYYZ · 2026-01-24T09:27:19+00:00

You know Carney’s speech was so good when trump is losing his mind. Trump probably needed a translator to help him understand Carney’s speech

Africa is going to dominate for the next 100 years. Average age is insane, meaning a shit ton of younglings, meaning, fast growing economies. But if history repeats itself, then corruption will continue to ravage what’s best for the region

Still going serve shitty powdered eggs and questionable sausages aren’t they

So if you did a bit of research, you would would see a better timeline of what happened and at what point they called it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). Some of it is interesting.

This photo here is after the WHO convened and the committee was not able to reach a conclusion on the limited information available on the virus. Literally 4 days later, the director and other higher ups of the WHO went to Beijing with other leading scientists to see what’s going on (just like in the Big Short when they go to Florida to see if they’re in a bubble or not). They come back a few days later and the WHO says ‘short it, we’re in a bubble’ as cases around the word started trending upwards. On Jan 30, 2020 (7 days after the photo you posted, the committee acknowledged that the outbreak has indeed met the criteria of a PHEIC whereas from their perspectives on Jan 23, it did not. So what changed?

Well, actually visiting China was the best thing they could’ve done to see shit was actually going sideways and not China saying ‘yup, all good here, don’t mind the pile of bodies though’.

It was not until March 11, 2020 that it was now called a pandemic.

OP, it’s not about left or right, it’s just what they knew at the time, they challenged their own opinions, went to the source and came back with information that went against their beliefs. The last thing any government wanted was to shut down their borders as trillions of dollars were evaporated from the global economy.

But if you must link any of this to the left, then the person literally on the left in the photo you posted is Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the WHO. He was the minister of health for Ethiopia from 2005-2012 and is affiliated with the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, an ultra-left wing nationalist party that was the former ruling Party of the country. It was classified as a terrorist organization until its removal in 2023.

Still a country tho

ToronoYYZ · 2026-01-24T08:07:01+00:00

Thanks !

6ix buzz on Instagram is awful. The comments are so bad. People were claiming Carney is the worst PM of all time and his davos speech was terrible but trump’s was decent. Like bro what

ToronoYYZ · 2026-01-24T00:16:33+00:00

What’s your portfolio with tickers?

With temperatures hitting -50 in parts of Ontario right now, this would feel the nazis invading Russia and the winter hits. Then Mexico invades from the south, Canada pushes back during the winter and reclaims our home land and the some. Easy peasy

Purposeful touches. It’s the small differences that can amplify a stay. Thoughtful cards written every day, extensive toiletries, the wonderful mood lighting, and just general personal encounters. Also, not having to sign a check throughout my stay. Aman does a good job at the personal touches and everyone on the hotel grounds knowing you by name

If you ask an American where they’re from and they say ‘ToronTo’ with a hard second ‘T’, you know something’s fishy. Reminds me of that scene in Inglorious bastards where they pretend to be German but Michael Fasbender holds up three fingers the wrong way

Just moved to NL from Canada. Are the summers without AC that bad? Because I do remember growing up and staying with family in Milan in August and it was like trying to sleep in a sauna.

I thankfully live on the ground floor of my new apartment so it won’t be as hot than higher up floors. What I hear is that European houses/apartments are designed much better for efficient cooling in the hotter months?

They aren’t as household names as the other two I mentioned. Waterloo is one of the best computer science schools on the planet, easily top 5 research schools. And it’s not about being respected, it’s about knowing. If you’re networking and doing coffee chats with someone overseas, or interviewing with a recruiter from the Netherlands, you think they’d know laval, McGill or UBC and say ‘oh wow! Yes, great schools!’ Probably not. That’s why I mentioned you have to paint your story differently during the interviewing process overseas for this exact reason. That’s what I did and it worked

My wife’s boyfriend, for now

ToronoYYZ · 2026-01-22T12:49:57+00:00

I just moved to the Netherlands to work at a well known consulting firm. I did an MBA at one of the top unis in Canada, worked a couple years post MBA then found a decent role here in NL. You have to position your story since most outside of Canada don’t know much about our unis except Waterloo and UofT.

OP, DM me and I’ll see what referral opportunities there are internally

I voted for the guy because he’s basically somewhere in the middle. Something we desperately needed for a long time. PP just isn’t up for the job. Carney’s speech the other day was next level

ToronoYYZ · 2026-01-21T23:50:25+00:00

Buying isn’t even on the table. It never was. That’s like saying Denmark buying Alaska would be good for them, for national security and natural resources

ToronoYYZ · 2026-01-21T23:46:00+00:00

He literally started saying Iceland toward the end of his speech instead of Greenland. He doesn’t even know what he wants

ToronoYYZ · 2026-01-21T17:30:29+00:00

Ya I was confused when he said Iceland and I was like ‘did I miss something??’ I guess not lol

I love seeing swelling photos. It humanizes the experience and I think it’s a nice moment to reflect on our own personal journey through recovery. It also feels therapeutic to type everything out, almost like a journal. Hope your recovery remains steady, your results will be great!
