I am in urgent job search mode, so I'm gonna throw this out here and see if anything comes of it.

I am a #Canadian, fluent in both #English and #French. I have experience with several programming languages. My strongest proficiency is with #Haskell and #C. I also have a reasonable grasp of #HTML, #JavaScript, #SQL, #Python, #Lua, #Linux system administration, #bash scripting, #Perl, #AWK, some #Lisp (common, scheme, and emacs), and probably several others I've forgotten to mention.

I am not necessarily looking for something in tech. I just need something stable. I have done everything from software development, to customer support, to factory work, though my current circumstances make in-person work more difficult than remote work. I have been regarded as a hard worker in every job I have ever held.

William James Topley’s Fancy Dress Ball Photographs

The fancy dress ball was a popular private costumed event in 19th century Canada. Those invited would portray characters from history, literature, mythology, or fairy tales, or dress in outfits inspired by foreign lands. While guests were expected to conform to societal expectations, they were allowed a few liberties - for example, women were permitted to wear their hair loose and they could reveal more of their legs than a typical ball gown of the day.

A #Yale professor who studies #fascism is leaving the #US to work at a #Canadian #university because of the current US political climate, which he worries is putting the US at risk of becoming a “#FascistDictatorship”.

#JasonStanley, who wrote the 2018 #book How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them, has accepted a position at the University of Toronto’s #MunkSchool of #GlobalAffairs and #PublicPolicy.

Dear #canadian #journalists and #broadcasters,

If candidates do not want press on their election tours,

DO NOT COVER THOSE CANDIDATES.

As in, no air time, no newspaper time, no reference to their names in articles. Just ignore them. Don’t broadcast their speeches. Let them lie in irrelevance.

There are plenty of people vying for office who are welcoming you on board.

In my quest for #Canadian products I noticed that Loblaws PC brand imports puff pastry from Greece. Who would have thought. You’d think that is easy to make in Canada. But no, ship it in from 10,000 km away.

Looking into how #Canadian Canadian wines are and it is pretty fuzzy. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency could have been more precise but I suspect there was a vigorous #wine lobby. This is just a word salad of the same words.

The insults and threats from The Donald have motivated #Canadian travellers to avoid visiting the #USA - call it a boycott if you like, but we're simply pissed off big time. This lack of respect for our sovereignty means we're done with dealing with the USA - travel, defence, trade, the works!

So my #Canadian neighbors are putting their home here in California up for sale. They said they no longer feel welcome in the United States anymore. When they were here, they volunteered in the local community, took care of their elderly neighbor, attended local civic meetings, and spent their money here. They're not "lifestyle" snowbirds but really good people. They loved #California. But no more. This is what Trump has done.
