  • Oh, I do.

    You raise a good question: for those staff, in the department stores, in logistics, in HR, in technology, in management, in marketing, design, etc. — how likely are they to find new work? How many of those 9000 employees will face real hardship, and how many will find new work in the role they’re in now?

    I don’t know the answers! Losing one’s job is always tough — financially, emotionally. I hope if their roles are cut they find good positions soon.

    But for Hudson’s Bay, the business? Couldn’t care less













  • FWIW I’m not sure I’d be excited that my donations to Lemmy.ca would be spent on disaster relief. Some related projects make sense (other federated communities, online Canadian content ,etc) , but I stopped donating to Wikipedia after getting tired of their tangential charity shit.

    To that end, some ideas

    • Chat Across Canada (CAC? Could do something with sea to sea, as well, although c2c is a band)
    • Canadian Federated Communities, although CFC is bad
    • Canada online
    • Some backronym for CANUCK
    • Federated Canuckistan (okay this one is particularly dumb)

    I’m not sure if the name will make a huge deal if you can do “business” under another name. If the society name is “Lemmy.ca and associated project deployments for Canadians by Canadians” can you “do business” (receive donations to, brand websites as) Lemmy.ca? There’s nothing really unclear about “the Lemmy.ca matrix server” or “an instance of mastodon run by Lemmy.ca”.
