Anyone in Halifax (Nova Scotia) want to make and hang a big sign that says "Don't Buy From USA" (or something like that) on a 102 overpass?

J'ai écouté beaucoup de balados afin de voir ce qui se fait en milieu linguistique minoritaire. Ce domaine n'est pas développé au Canada francophone comme il l'est au Québec. Mais il y a quand même quelques idées auxquelles donner une chance:

Les balados franco-canadiens : un domaine où tout reste à faire
Si l'offre n'est pas encore très établie, quelques balados franco-canadiens méritent d'être écoutés sur la route du temps des fêtes.

It's weird how I haven't seen any AI products that do the work of upper corporate management or college administrators....you'd think that the most expensive links in the chain would be where AI would be most cost effective...hm, this must just be an oversight that will be remedied soon.

I've been dedicating my running shoes to Ahmaud Arbery since his murder 4 years ago.

It's a reminder that I have the privilege to run pretty much wherever/whenever I want without thinking about it.
