To put it bluntly, if this goes through I'll probably just delete my account and move on from lemmy.

I wouldn't want to onboard more friends to this instance for them to be brigaded by HB trolls. Getting people to wean off Reddit for Lemmy, only for them to be bombarded with HB chaos more akin to /b/, would be a terrible experience.

In short: no thanks.

I have nothing to contribute here, I'm just happy to see Québécois on Lemmy.

Bonjour de Toronto!

Thank you for your ~~service~~ pedantry.

I have to preface this with the fact that I'm a Torontonian: fuck I love Vancouver.

So. Much. Envy.

Well that's weird... This is literally playing on my Spotify right now, part of a random playlist. The Matrix is glitching.

Ah, TFWs. If you go by the news, neither big farms nor Tim Horton's can survive without them. I'm glad you're treated well. It pains me to think about how much exploitation is in the industry.

It's a dream of mine (and a handful of friends) to start a commune / cooperative farming thing (closer to the hobby side of things) east of Toronto once we pool enough money, so insights into the industry are fascinating to me. And yeah, we know it's going to be more work and recurring failures than we can possibly imagine (especially to start) but we're determined and going to be diligent in research and preparation before we jump into it.

Oof! Hello, fellow Ontarian here. I had no idea this was the case for Ontario farm workers! Is it common for people to be paid less than minimum wage and not get breaks? Is it just for specific times of year (ie harvesting) or for the entire growing season?

This may sound weird, but: thanks for the work you do in agriculture and feeding us! 😛 I'm in / from Toronto, and try to buy local when I can.

Oh my god, thank you. I thought I was having a stroke.

Welp, time to expedite that switch to RustDesk, I guess!

Well that's going to be a really awkward episode of Below Deck

I love that all of the responses in here are just forking jokes.

Bonjour! Bienvenue à Ontario!

English is an absurd language, and something like 30% of English words are from old (Norman?) French. English is my first language and it just seems like pure chaos to me.
