Good guy VRYALT3R3D.

Please help me with my marketing plan to save PCA UCR and BMW Trillium Club's CanAm Challenge Club Race.

I need participants to take our team's survey so we can get a better understanding of how rich you guys are and what it would take for you guys to come back.

BMW CCA & PCA(themselves, not the local regions) should do a better job of promoting it.

This is something I may pursue as my capstone project, outside of my marketing class.

Check PM please!

Want a prime example of how dumb everyone is in govt?

https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/0...nd-bc-ferries/

Eby articulates from the beginning why we need to buy ferries from China, BC ferries is a crumbling mess, no Canadian ship yard has capacity to build these ships, there is no federal funding to support building them in Canada, and now he outlines how Atlantic provinces are fully subsidized and basically got a free ferry from the exact same ship yards these new BC ferries are being built from.

Freeland is “dismayed” that China is building these ships, even though Eby outlined every reason why they are.

Now the feds fund a “study” to study why these ships are being built in China

Not going to be easy! I told that clowny fuck to send me a couple of thousand dollars for a new home security system and one that is approved by the Canadian government. So far NO RESPONSE and it’s been like almost 2 weeks.

I agree. The company should rebrand as China Control & Protect, LLC (CCP)

Check the Lorex out.

I've been looking for a replacement for my Hikvision camera system - not because of the security thing but because I want to integrate my doorbell with my camera system and be able to access it online and via my phone. The Lorex product line seems to support all of that.

My hik crap used to be accessible online. The problem is now rewiring the whole thing. What a pain in the ass. I want wired cameras not wireless. Wireless systems are unreliable

I’ve had Lorex for about 7 years now

The software was total trash and went through periods when I couldn’t even use the app to see my cameras, however, the hardware has been flawless. Zero downtime in those 7 years from the cameras or the brain

The newer systems use a different app which seems to be more reliable, my cameras were at an age where they transitioned to a new app for old hardware and it caused a lot of issues

You can mix and match wired and wireless with the Lorex - the kit I linked to from Costco is an all wired system. I'm guessing it can reuse all the wiring I have in place for the HIK system but I haven't confirmed it yet - I have two wired cameras way up high on my house so there's no way I'm climbing up once a year to swap batteries but I also want 2-4 other cameras plus the doorbell all integrated together. Apparently it all hooks into Alexa so I could get a hub in my kitchen to always see what's going on.

Canadian founded and owned they say. HQ in Markham so staffed by Ching Chong for sure and it was owned at some point by Duhua which is a Chinese company banned by the US in 2019. My Google check does say when and if Lorex was sold off or not at some point (it's implied).

The cameras are definitely made in China - I doubt anyone else has the expertise and production costs to make them elsewhere.

A newly released survey shows the number of homeless people in Toronto has more than doubled between the spring of 2021 and last fall

Toronto’s Street Needs Assessment survey estimates that 15,400 people were homeless in Toronto last October, up from about 7,300 in April 2021.
Embarrassing.

Eliminate the states, is there a first world COUNTRY that added 8,000 homeless people in that period?
