Just want to see if anyone recognizes this very sweet man

Just want to see if anyone recognizes this very sweet man (I think?) on Arthur Avenue, about midway down the street. He is very skinny, but friendly, immediately approached and let me pick him up. If I had access to a vehicle definitely would have taken him to get looked at 😞 hoping he is a senior cat who’s just become a bit frail with age. I know outdoor cats is against bylaw and feeding them is likely very looked down upon but I hate the thought of this poor creature starving, if anyone here lives on the street and sees him, and is maybe able to secure him to take to spca I would be so happy to hear that ❤ Source

You could tell he was SO PROUD of what he did, our local history and what they had available in the museum. I asked if I could share the museum on the local Barrie group and he was happy to receive more visitors! We were the only ones in the museum at the time so it’ll be a nice treat for a quick visit. There were so many beautiful artifacts, including 100+ year old uniforms of soldiers and nurses in the war, countless medals and little relics made by soldiers in the trenches. I didn’t want to take pictures inside as I thought it would be best to see in person. It is a *small* museum but the local history and collection found in this …

Facebook vs news agencies

It's all about advertising. The name of the game is getting ads in front of viewers first and news agencies have no chance of this when most people will see the news on social sites like Facebook. This is a problem that was propagated by new agencies themselves when they took upon registering at these sites as they seen it as a way of increasing readership to their business. Adhering to the terms, conditions and privacy policies set out, they then proceeded to post news content hourly for over a decade and encouraged users to share and comment on Facebook.

It's almost like they want us to change our internet habits to accommodate their need for advertising revenue. As of late, media in general has been getting a bad rap as people are starting to realize hidden agendas being influenced by advertising money, donations and sponsorship's.

The bigger problem... It's all about advertising and Facebook has more effective and affordable advertising than most …
