TTC workers going out of their way to call people who question them stupid… helping to prove the point of the most anti-union types out there. In this post: Daniella McNab, Martin Owen, Dee Leroy Watson and Sandra Cassells. Eventually another driver came along and clarified the issue very well. It’s a non-public FB group, [...]
Read more →I’m looking at the TIFF web site, thinking that I might just do a two week long evening package at the VISA screening room – let them pick the movies that I see. I like the option that TIFF has to let you just pick a program and trust the festival programmers to get you [...]
Read more →Man, I could write about nothing but poorly designed web forms with silly, undocumented assumptions… I’m listing things on ebay and kijiji and I’m trying to list fair, accurate postal information. So, I head over to canadapost.ca and fill in information on the expected size and weight of a package. Length: 20cm Width: 25cm Height: [...]
