We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

It is a hideous scandal that they can publish a chart as obvious as this and not even mention the words 'covid infections'.

It’s USB-powered. The filters are $12 each. I bought a purifier and a filter.

With many people forced to return to work, this in a cubicle could reduce risk of infection, as well as reduce airborne contaminants like wildfire smoke. In breathing zone.

It's been on my radar for a while, but I haven't seen too many zero cost options for 2500+ subscribers. Ghost is about CAD$ 1000 per year for 2500+ subs.

This pretty picture is of the province’s smaller Science Centre near their private spa at Ontario Place. The price tag is $1.4 billion. The existing building only requires about $350 mil over 20 years (and about $30 mil for priority repairs). All this based on the AG report.

Guy who lives on the other side of town, doesn't like science and insists on driving everywhere has opinions

Opinions shouldn't be policy

Doug Ford shouldn't be Premier, that's an opinion, how come nobody's writing that down

I love my North Box air filters!
I have the NorthBox Polaris Standard 6 fan models with a CADR of 290 CFM each in every room. So quiet at 35 dB I can hardly hear they are on! Very durable and filter changes simple and cheap.

Why is Doug Ford changing OSAP?

It's simple: he is trying to balance the post-secondary books on the backs of low and middle income students and their families.

His changes to OSAP will cost students up to $3500 more per year in debt.

We deserve affordable education.

It's easy for Ford to gloss over the past, so I'm glad someone kept receipts on what's happened to higher ed in Ontario. I would add to this detailed thread that reducing housing costs will also go a long way to fixing the affordability problems the low and middle income classes face.
