  • What if Canada stopped upholding U.S. tech companies’ intellectual property? - CCPA
    Notes
    It’s the only kind of trade war that Canadian politicians can win against Americans: the kind where prices for Canadians don’t go up because of tariffs; where the price of apps, repair, parts, and upgrades goes way down; and where a new, high-tech manufacturing sector pulls in vast sums from customers all over the world.

  • Guelph family lives like it's 1986 | Toronto & GTA | News | Toronto Sun
    Notes
    their house has banned any technology post-1986, the year the couple was born. No computers, no tablets, no smart phones, no fancy coffee machines, no Internet, no cable, and – from the point of view of many tech-dependent folks – no life.

  • Horseplay « meandering wildly
    Notes
    So last week we bought them their own horse head. And yesterday mconley delivered it to their office. They invited him in. They brought the box over to the window where we could see. They gathered around their window and we gathered around ours. And when they opened it and realised what it was they actually jumped up and down, and applauded, and mouthed “thank you” through the window at us.

Only place I've ever seen Whacky Packages trading cards, still in the package. Also, an official Knight Rider poster and random 80's toys."
