Fuck these stupid AI stans. We don’t need this. It’s not cool. Stop working on these stupid “AI” applications. It’s another tech bubble Ponzi scheme.
Why do all of these hustle bro losers show themselves talking on their cell phones like they're some big shot business guy closing deals?

Time to end the disgraceful practice of HVAC scams that target & victimize vulnerable seniors. #onpoli
The company in that thread, Ontario Green Savings, was the subject of a CBC Marketplace expose'

So, I am a bit confused at the disconnect between council's approved strat plan and Mayor @JoshMorganLDN's budget as presented.
When we landed on the strat plan, Implementing @LTCLdnOnt growth hours was so important, it was mentioned three times.
What does Houseful actually do?
I read their about page and am still at a loss of why they exist: houseful.ca/about/
This is some bullshit spin if I ever saw it.
Anyone that has been paying attention to B&M retail in downtowns knows it’s in big trouble. H&M closed their store on Queen West FFS.
What’s gonna replace that?
The sudden loss of Urban Outfitters at London's Oxford and Richmond intersection is a “huge opportunity” for a new landmark business to join the rapidly evolving core. @JenatLFPress spoke with Coun. @davidja521: tinyurl.com/mpzbhhfv #ldnont
