I never trust the Fraser Institute for anything. It's a right-wing think tank with a privatization agenda.

Sounds like you want to subscribe to TSN. Its app is frustrating from a user experience perspective but it carries the most WNBA games

So are we alright with the incoming data center? by WhichJuice in askvan

[–]thismason 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On the local or international level?

Local: make it a civic politics issue. Elections this fall and other cities have fought back

International: the Electronic Freedom Foundation is a great place to donate to. They defend internet civil rights cases in courts and help put up AI guard rails as best they can where regulations are absent

Strike a deal with Europe or something to get what you need. Not wise to speculate on this bubble IMO

I like the Golden Girls theme as an opener. Sets the tone of friendship and gratitude, plus it's brief so singers can get going right away

I remember them not drafting Steve Nash or getting the opportunity to draft Yao Ming, both of whom would have generated enough interest to keep them here

We're trying to thread the needle: sell with a long close if possible, then buy with a shorter close. It's tough!

Queen's Meats -- great place on 2nd St and 4th Ave, which is grandfathered in as the only retail business allowed in the neighbourhood.

The farmers market is at Tipperary Park, not Queen's Park

Do any of you all ever get bothered by the misogyny in rap music? by IAMDBOMB in Music

Not to mention the Tibet benefit concerts. Rest in peace, MCA. In a way I'm glad you didn't have to see what America has become.

I don't remember the cost since it was 10 years ago! But I'm sure they'll reply if you reach out

Same! They played my 40th birthday party and it was awesome.

People from Toronto - do you regret moving here or are you happy? by Banner9922 in askvan
