Canadian Founders & Builders - Risk-Taking & Comeback Stories

Maybe Canada doesn’t need to be louder. Maybe Canadians do. We have some incredible people in this country building businesses, creating communities, taking risks, getting knocked down, getting back up and doing some pretty amazing things. But as Canadians, we’re almost programmed not to talk about it. Keep your head down. Be humble. Don’t brag. Let the work speak for itself. I don’t buy that. I think you can be both, humble AND loud. You can be proud of what you’re building without being an arrogant about it. You can celebrate other people winning. You can take big swings, screw things up, learn from it and keep going. That’s really where Loud, Bold, Humble came from. Shaun Majumder and I want to find Canadians who have decided to take the gloves off. People doing interesting things, taking risks and building something worth talking about. And we want to tell those stories. Episode 1 is out now. 🎙️ Here’s a short clip from Episode 1. WATCH THE FULL EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - https://lnkd.in/gtbVtveV Who do you know who’s taken the gloves off? Tag them below. I want to hear about them. #LoudBoldHumble #TakeTheGlovesOff #Canada

GTA Snowbirds - Left US Over Trump Now Based In Mexico & Costa Rica

***SOURCE REQUEST*** I'm still looking for snow birds to interview for Toronto Life! Are you someone from the GTA who used to snowbird in the US but are now doing this elsewhere (Mexico, Costa Rica, Spain or someplace else!) because of Trump and not wanting to support the US? If so, I'd love to connect with you! Ideally, you owned a place in the US and sold it, and are now trying out other spots (either renting, hotels or buying). But if you were just renting/hoteling in the US, that could work too, so long as you'd been doing it regularly for a few years. We're open to both traditional snowbirds and digital nomads, too, so long as you were a dedicated winter regular in the US before. I'm not looking for any data or experts at the moment -- just folks who have done this themselves. Please email me at [email redacted] if this sounds like you. And feel free to pass the message along to other folks who might be a fit. Thank you so much!

North American Batman C64 V1.0 Disk Owners - V1.0 vs V1.1 Changes

I bought a 1989 Commodore 64 Batman game today. Then I noticed one tiny sticker: V1.1. 🦇 And suddenly, this wasn't just another pickup. Batman: The Movie — Commodore 64/128 The North American Data East big-box disk release, licensed from Ocean. The box is marked: V1.1 Interesting. Then I opened it. The original 5¼-inch disk is factory-labeled V1.1 too. Now I had questions. I've spent part of today digging into it, and I've confirmed that a distinct C64 V1.1 revision really did exist. There are reports within the C64 community that an earlier Version 1 contained a potentially game-breaking problem and that V1.1 corrected it. But here's the problem: I haven't found definitive documentation establishing exactly what changed. And I'm not going to turn a story that's been repeated for decades into historical fact without evidence. So now I'm hunting for the evidence. My copy gives me a good starting point: V1.1 packaging. Factory-labeled V1.1 disk. Data East manufacturing number 406-0275-00. Original unused Data East registration/warranty card. And the rabbit hole is already getting deeper. The C64 version had its own development team: Zach Townsend — Programming Andrew Sleigh — Graphics Matthew Cannon — Music I've also uncovered connections to Ocean's C64 cartridge technology, North American and European releases, multiple cracks and trainers, and later preservation efforts. But right now, one question matters most: What exactly changed between Batman V1.0 and V1.1? That's what I want to solve. C64 collectors, Ocean historians and preservation folks: I'm looking for an original North American V1.0 Batman disk. If you own one—or know someone who does—I'd love to hear from you. If we can locate the original revision, I want to compare the releases and determine exactly what changed. Sometimes you collect the artifact. Sometimes the artifact gives you a case to solve. 🦇 #Commodore64 #Batman #RetroGaming #GamePreservation #Track18 HONOR. INVESTIGATE. PRESERVE.

Laval Assault Victims - Police Complaint Handling & Racial Profiling

If you have been the victim of a possible criminal act in Laval (physical assault, etc), or know someone who has, and were discouraged by Laval police from filing a report, pressured to abandon the matter, dismissed as a "liar", threatened with arrest for insisting that the matter be reported, or believe that the manner in which your complaint was handled subsequently affected the prosecutorial review or contributed to the file being closed, I would like to hear from you. I am also interested in hearing from anyone who believes that this treatment may have been related to racial profiling. I am gathering information for a newspaper investigation into the handling of complaints by the Laval Police Service. All accounts will be reviewed carefully and treated with appropriate discretion. Please contact me by private message only. As this is an information-gathering request for a newspaper investigation, I am not opening the matter for public discussion or debate in the comments.

GTA Post-Secondary Students - OSAP Grant Cuts Back-to-School Budget

GTA Students] Affected by the OSAP grant cuts? Looking to feature a student's back-to-school budget journey for a media project. Hello Bonjour I am a reporter for Radio Canada (french CBC) and I am working on how the recent OSAP funding changes, (specifically the shift from grants to loans and the new 25% grant cap), are impacting students' real-world budgets this fall.

Booksellers & Warehouse Workers - Zoom Books Supply Chain

Looking for people with information about Zoom Books and the AI book supply chain Hi everyone, I’m an Italian journalist investigating the increasingly strange story of large-scale purchases of used books and their possible connection to AI training. I’m looking for people who may have direct knowledge of this supply chain: booksellers, warehouse workers, logistics employees, exporters/importers, former employees, people in publishing, recycling/remanufacturing, scanning or digitisation companies, or anyone who has seen unusually large orders of used books. I’m particularly interested in Zoom Books. The main question I’m trying to answer is very simple: What happens to the books after Zoom Books acquires them? Where are they physically shipped? Who receives them next? Are they resold, processed, scanned, digitised, dismantled, recycled or destroyed? Are there intermediaries between Zoom Books and the ultimate customer? And, most importantly, who is the final customer? I’m also interested in information about shipments involving Canada, the US, Europe, China and India, including companies involved in processing or “remanufacturing” printed books. I’m not looking for speculation presented as fact. Documents, invoices, shipping records, emails, photographs, warehouse information, first-hand accounts or even small details that can help reconstruct the route of the books are particularly useful. If you work or have worked anywhere along this supply chain and would rather not comment publicly, please DM me. We can discuss confidentiality and source protection before you share anything sensitive. Even if you only know one small part of the story, I’d like to hear from you.

Canadians Avoiding U.S. Travel - Trade War Impact On Plans

REPORTER REQUEST: Looking for Canadians avoiding travel to the U.S. for a story for The Associated Press. Are you a Canadian who has decided to avoid or boycott travel to the United States? Maybe you've canceled a family vacation, changed your plans for a weekend trip or business conference, or, if you're a “snowbird,” decided not to head south this winter. I’m looking to speak with Canadians about how the latest escalation in the U.S.-Canada trade war is affecting their travel decisions, particularly after the U.S. began imposing new tariffs on roughly $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, with Canada announcing retaliatory tariffs in response. If you've changed your travel plans because of the trade tensions — or if you're still planning to visit the U.S. despite them — I'd like to hear from you. Please DM me or email me at [email redacted] so we can set a time to chat on the phone. Thank you!
