Well, I just got VERY distracted.

I was researching wholesale sewing supplies companies, and came across one from Eastern Canada that showed their shipping policies and times, which included a map like... this.

I've simplified the colours from the original, but not the positions of anything. And that made me DISTRACTED, because like... if you have also spent time staring at road maps of the prairie provinces, let me ask you: what the entire actual fuck, eh?

Let's superimpose. (Click for better resolution)

This map is sus in so many ways I can't even explain what went wrong here. The northern shore of Lake Athabasca gets faster shipping than Winnipeg? Kindersley is a priority destination, but Regina isn't? Edmonton has been usurped by (*reads smudged writing on hand*) Edson? The best shipping in Alberta is not centrered around Calgary, but, like... Nordegg? It's not on the map, but I swear to god it's fucking Nordegg. Also, who the hell did Saskatchewan have to fuck to get that kind of relative priority? (Come to think about it, though, if I were in charge of Saskatchewan, I'd absolutely sell my honour for some kind of rural logistics boost. What else would I do with it?)

And I wouldn't mind, except that this is the map that tells me how fast my shipping is gonna be! This is the only indicator on their website that lets me know whether my shit will arrive tomorrow, or a week from now!

(Okay, self. Deep breaths. I'm getting a bit upset and overblown here. It's okay. Clearly my shit wouldn't arrive until the next business week whether I lived in the Pembina Valley or not.)

So, in the larger map, Ontario, Nova Scotia, Vancouver, and Victoria are all where they ought to be. But what if, I don't know, these shipping zones were the right size and shape, but just in the wrong place?

I'd still be desperately curious to know what Saskatchewan did. And if I had to accept them, I'd guess they'd be more like...

If I'm right, clearly it's not just one thing wrong with them. They're not off in similar directions or amounts. At which point my only explanation would be that, like... someone started out with a shitty map, compressed the image, and then tried to blow it back up into a regular image again. And then it happened three more times, if not more.

MY FELLOW CANADIANS: DO BETTER

That's it that's my post. I wash my hands of the subject and will focus on suppliers from BC.

Except, just for fun, Saskatchewan's suspiciously spacious shipping corridor (what a great new tongue-twister!) with some European scale for spice.

ch. i - frustration

hybrid!san × human!reader

buy me coffee ?

everyone wants to belong, it's basic human need to connect with people around them. what happens when you're responsible for someone who belongs to two worlds but at the same time belongs to neither ? worst part is, what happens when it's your ex ?

As soon as San got home, he immediately chucked his shoes aside, not even caring if the leather's scuffed or if his soles scuff his floor. That's the housekeeper's business.

It wasn't unusual for him to get angry, especially after dinner with his parents. Well, anger is an overstatement. Maybe it was frustration? Discomfort? Whatever it was, he doesn't really know why some words that his parents used irked him so much so that he managed to bend a spoon with only his sheer distaste. His friends weren't much help either what with mocking his lack of sex life.

San poured himself a glass of scotch that he got after his dad signed a deal with a Canadian logistics company. He didn't know when he adopted the habit of drinking whiskey but he knew for sure he didn't do it because he wanted to. Drinking it makes him feel like he's 50, the fact that his dad even said that whiskey symbolizes wealth, success, status, all things every 50 year old man San knew has. The taste burn his throat but at least he could still feel something other than annoyance. The burn felt good.It had been so long since San felt things that he actually wanted to feel. Happiness, pain, anguish, disdain, distaste, doubt, and even pleasure.

Pleasure. How long has it been since he felt pleasure?

He could just imagine how his friends mocked him for "not getting his dick wet in a long while". It's not his fault that the heat suppressants killed his libido. But he was still able to have sex if he wants to. He was sure. He was... positive. Right?

San placed the glass on his nightstand as he pulled his tie off. Then his blazer, shirt, and suit pants came off, he left them to pool on his cold wooden floor. He stood there in the darkness of his room, buck naked, not knowing what to do first. It had been a while since the darkness became his friend, he found solace in the idea of nothingness and complete tranquil in silence. in it, no one can tell San what to do, what to take, ask him how he was feeling in the influence of drugs. But that never happened in the darkness, and he liked it.

His legs soon moved and he soon found himself under the shower head, letting the cold water hit him. Initially he wanted to take a hot shower but as soon as he high temperature enveloped him, he felt suffocated, his skin felt uncomfortable so he switched to cold water instead.

With closed eyes, he began lathering himself up with his hand and loofah. His neck craned, face facing the shower head on his bathroom wall, letting the water trickle down his face, freshening him up. Soon enough, he felt the temperature difference between the water and his hand and his brain started turning. He imagined it wasn't himself touching his own body, the hand that has now traveled down to his crotch wasn't his. Somehow he was able to concoct an image in his head of a woman touching him, the familiar touch indicated that he knew the person touching him well.

Soon enough, San found himself stroking his full rigid length. His head thrown forward, ducking as the hand that was initially holding onto his loofah had now abandoned the flimsy thing on the floor, swaying around to the current brough by the dripping water. With eyebrows furrowed and fist holding tighter onto his dick, he began chasing his climax with the help of the images conjured by his head. To help him add to his pleasure, his brain imagined a woman, San couldn't see her clearly as his brain was balancing between being clouded by lust and trying to urge his release. All he know was that he felt like he knew who she was, she felt so familiar, her skin glistened so beautifully and the way his brain imagined her being the one touching him, he was sure she had experience with him. As his hand picked up its speed. the image became more vivid in his head, he could even imagine the sounds she was making; moaning at how hard he was, how warm his cock was in his hand, how much she wanted him to cum in her hands, have his mess on her hands so she could clean it up for him. San let out a stuttered exhale, he was about to bust, he knew it. The girl in his head suddenly repositioned so she was kneeling in front of him, head looking straight at his dick while making the most pornographic whines, making it seem like she was hungry for his dick. That was it, San was so close, he could feel how his balls tensed up and his girth twitching in his hand, leaking more precum by the minute. It wouldn't take him much to cum now.

But the unexpected came instead.

When the girl in his head turned to look up at him, he was surprised that he saw your face instead. The face he hadn't seen personally in years. The image surprised him so much that he opened his eyes and he let go of his cock. San was frozen for a bit, not sure as to why he imagined you in the first place. It was a complete shock to him, he couldn't imagine why his brain would thought of you whilst masturbating.

Once he came back to his senses, San looked down and saw that he was losing boner fast. He was determined to reach his climax, cum, whatever you can call it, he wants it. But as he refocused in trying to bring back rigidness to his dick that's turning flacid, he couldn't help but kept thinking about you. His cock twitching as an indication at how he appreciate the thought of you. But San didn't want that, San didn't want to be thinking of you as he masturbate. So instead of trying to make himself cum, he was instead actively trying to not think about you whilst the movements on his cock never stopped.

"Fuck, come on," he groaned to himself as he tried hard to revive his erection. At this point it was no longer about him wanting to cum but trying to prove something to no one but himself and he hated it. With scrunched up expression and a grip that turned his knuckles white, San soon felt stupid. He felt childish for wanting to chase his climax so bad and it didn't take long for him to let go of his dick and slump on the cold bathroom wall with the water still raining down on him.

Emptiness echoed within him and his only companion was the leftover euphoria from his could-be climax, the mocking sensation of what he could achieve had he not thought of you. Why did he thought of you whilst trying to pleasure himself anyways? Why you?

Thoughts he didn't want floating around, clouding him, began flooding his head. It had been a while since he had thought of you, your whereabouts and even how you were doing as he stalked your social media. Usually, he did it from sheer curiosity but never because he longed for you. Romantically or sexually. Those thoughts remain in the past, where he intended to leave alone until maybe his deathbed.

With a chill that ran up his spine, San decided that it was stupid trying to make sense of things with his bare ass on the floor with the water running down on him like some heartbroken sad bitch in a chick-flick. Maybe he will never try to make sense of why his brain recalled you as he was gripping his dick because he felt that he wouldn't want to face the truth. Or you know, he didn't want to start thinking more and more about you.

So he turned off the water angrily, eyes glaring at the floor as his chest still heave but more steady than before. With a last disappointed sharp exhale of his breath, he left the shower to return to the cold darkness of his room.

Filled with frustration once again.

Why Canadian Companies Prefer Digital Marketing Agencies over In-house Teams

In the ever-changing digital landscape of Canada, companies big and small have to make one very important decision: develop an in-house digital marketing team or hire the services of a dedicated agency. Far from being a routine operational issue, this choice has great implications for its competitive position, market relevance, and general growth trajectory. With the digital platform becoming increasingly complicated and the stakes of online visibility soaring high, a trend has definitely been witnessed across Canadian companies: that of choosing between the expertise and agility provided by digital marketing agencies over in-house teams.

Expertise and Specialization

This has been one of the major reasons for the tectonic shift in the approach of Canadian enterprises. Digital marketing is not a monolithic discipline but a constellation of specialized areas, each with its own particular demands in expertise. From SEO virtuosos to social media savants, content marketing maestros to PPC prodigies, agencies house a cadre of specialists under one roof. Such an assemblage of talent allows businesses to tap into a wellspring of knowledge that would be prohibitively expensive and logistically challenging to cultivate internally.

What is more, the digital marketing field keeps on changing 24/7, since that is when algorithms, best practices, and consumer behaviors change at the speed of light. This places agencies in a much better place to be updated due to their focus and the heterogeneity of their client base. They undertake heavy continuous learning and serious means of professional development investment to ensure that their strategies remain at the cutting edge of industry changes. This means a commitment to staying current translates into better marketing solutions for their clients-more effectively and innovatively.

Agency versus in-house: financial implications are huge and multi-dimensional. At face value, the retainers or project fees associated with agency services might appear huge. However, a close look will reveal that this is not true on the cost-efficiency level. By outsourcing an agency, a business may significantly reduce overheads like salaries, benefits, office space, and equipment, which are kept by full-time employees.

The next strong economic case lies in the fact that it can make that great sense of scalability and flexibility. It eases the opportunity to adjust marketing spend against seasonal demands, special campaign needs, or fluctuating economies without getting into the complexities of hiring or drastically reducing an internal team. That elasticity of resource allocation permits better budget efficiency and implores optimization of Marketing ROI.

Technology and Tools

The digital marketing arena is the haven for sophisticated tools and platforms-most of which come with heavy price tags, coupled with steep learning curves. Agencies, able to use economies of scale, invest in a wide array of premium software and technologies that would be financially unviable for most individual businesses to acquire. From advanced SEO tools to full-service social media management platforms, agencies arm their clients with the technological arsenal needed to drive marketing effectiveness.

Besides tools, agencies often have state-of-the-art analytics and reporting. These systems allow for the granular tracking of campaign performance, consumer behavior, and ROI. Insights gained from these advanced analytics become the powerhouse that drives businesses into making data-informed decisions and fine-tuning their marketing approaches with strategy precision.

Strategic Objectivity

One of the most overlooked benefits of hiring a digital marketing agency is the fresh perspective it brings to the challenges a brand faces. Sometimes a company's internal teams, despite being quite familiar with the brand, can suffer from tunnel vision or be stuck in paradigms. Agencies, drawing on diverse experience across industries and markets, have become a fertile source of new solutions and unconventional creative approaches, which for those within the organization can be virtually invisible.

This objectivity extends to performance appraisal as well. Large agencies are usually held to very tight KPIs through which they are accountable to deliver measurable results. The setup ensures a very transparent culture of business betterment, whereby the agencies fall under pressure to prove their strategies right and value-proposition-valid on a regular basis.

Time and Resource Management

For most Canadian businesses, more so for the SMEs, the job of dedicating or committing resources to build and maintain a fully-fledged in-house digital marketing team is surely going to distract them from their core business activities. By outsourcing such functions to an agency, this energy is freed for product development, customer service, and other mission-critical activities.

Furthermore, more often than not, agencies are in a much better position than in-house units to implement marketing initiatives. With the established processes, loads of already-vetted resources on standby, and a lot of previous work to its credit, an agency can consequently save time throughout the process from conceiving of the strategy to launching the campaign. This agility is paramount in the fast-paced digital landscape, where usually the early bird catches the worm.

Many of these digital marketing agencies boast of having an extensive industry network, including influencers, media, and technology partners that can open various doors of opportunity to collaboration. Beta programs and early access to new marketing channels/features fall into this category. To Canadian businesses, this is quite an invaluable asset that networks with potential new customers.

Moreover, most agencies have good relations with key platforms, such as Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn, which provide them with the latest features, premium support, and, in some cases, almost privileged rates. More probably than not, such partnerships are passed on as tangible benefits to the clients to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of their digital marketing initiatives.

As a sustenance of risks

The regulatory requirements associated with digital marketing, encompassing privacy, advertising standards, and the specific policies of these diverse digital platforms, make hazardous minefields for businesses. This adds further pressure on digital marketing agencies because they possess specialized knowledge and experience in ensuring that their clients work in conformance with these regulations. This becomes even more crucial in instances involving Canada, where there are regulations like CASL, which is anti-spam law dictating strict requirements on electronic messaging.

Additionally, the agencies adapt by nature through adaptation to market changes. Their diversified client bases and regular activities with businesses in various industries enable them to identify and respond to the change in consumer behavior, change in technology, or economic conditions very fast. Adapting to the situation at hand helps hedge against potential risks associated with sudden changes in the market which could render several marketing strategies irrelevant.

Performance and Results

What's arguably most convincing in the move towards agency partnerships is the attention to accountability and measurement of performance. Most of the agencies operate on performance-based models with clear KPIs and reporting structures that generate tangible means through which firms realize their marketing return on investment. In other words, therefore, the approach is results-based, with continuous optimization of marketing to align with business objectives.

As such, agencies can contribute to performing competitive benchmarking. With many years of experience across industries and data, they can paint a view for a business regarding its relative standing in digital marketing performance from its competition and industry benchmarks. Such a comparative perspective may also help them zero in on opportunities for performance improvement and areas of differentiation.

The Future of Digital Marketing Partnerships in Canada

The trend of Canadian businesses partnering with specialized marketing agencies is showing no signs of abatement in the evolving digital marketing landscape. The recipe combining experience, the advantage of being cost-effective, technological advances, and strategic value when working with an agency makes compelling economic sense. And, of course, in-house teams will always have their role; it's actually quite important for big organizations. The passed "advantages to this kind of approach are flexibility and comprehensive capabilities available to organizations of any size.".

The collaboration with a digital marketing agency is considered an investment in terms of growth strategy and competitiveness. Increasingly, this is a cost consideration that Canadian executives are factoring in as Canadian businesses strive to find their way through digital complexities—and as a result, a way to innovate the catalyst for success in the long term.

Statute of Westminster (11 December 1931) gave complete legislative independence to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Ireland (Free State), and Newfoundland (not then part of Canada).

Anniversary of the Statute of Westminster

The Anniversary of the Statute of Westminster is observed on December 11 every year. Although it is a holiday, Canadians still go to work, and it is pretty much an ordinary day for them. It is a nod to Canadian independence. The “Union Jack,” where logistics allow, is flown along with the Maple Leaf on federal buildings, airports, military bases from dawn to dusk to mark this day. It commemorates a British law that was passed on 11 December 1931. It was Canada’s final achievement of independence from Britain. The Statute of Westminster gave Canada and the other Commonwealth Dominions legal equality with Britain. These countries now had full legal freedom — except in areas which they chose. The Statute also defined the powers of Canada’s Parliament and those of the other Dominions. The day is mostly celebrated in Canada.

History of Anniversary of the Statute of Westminster

Before 1931, the British government had much influence over legislation passed by the Commonwealth Dominions (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the Irish Free State, and Newfoundland). Things began to change after the First World War — after the sacrifices of Canada and other Dominions on the battlefield stirred feelings of nationhood and desires for complete autonomy.

Canada began to assert its independence in foreign policy in the early 1920s. In 1922, Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King denied help to British occupation forces in Turkey without first getting the approval of his Parliament. Later on, in 1923, Canada signed a fisheries’ treaty with the United States without seeking permission from Britain. In 1926, Canada established an embassy in Washington, DC, and Vincent Massey was named its first Canadian minister. This made him Canada’s first-ever diplomatic envoy posted to a foreign capital.

The Imperial Conference of 1926 was a more formal step. It gave legal backbone to the Balfour Report from earlier that year. The report had announced that Britain and its Dominions were constitutionally “equal in status.” The work of changing the Commonwealth’s complex legal system continued at the 1929 Conference on the Operation of Dominion Legislation. The Imperial Conference of 1930 further confirmed the need for the Dominions to have greater autonomy of their legislature. On 11 December 1931, the Statute of Westminster was passed by the British Parliament. This was done at the request and with the consent of the Dominions. This statute ratified the Dominions’ legislative independence. Although it had been granted the right to self-government in 1867, Canada did not enjoy full legal autonomy until the Statute was passed on December 11, 1931.

Lululemon

Worker Wage - ★★☆☆☆

Based on the available information, we have found that Lululemon salaries in the US range from $8-$24.15, which is 9% below the national average. While Lululemon does not publish information on the wages of garment workers, outside sources state that the factory workers, who produce Lululemon’s garments, claim to be paid $110 a month in Bangladesh.

Working Conditions - ★☆☆☆☆

Their clothing is produced in Canada, the US, Peru, China, Bangladesh, Indonesia, India, Israel, Taiwan, South Korea, Malaysia, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and Switzerland. Lululemon’s outsourced labor has raised questions in the past as to the treatment of the garment workers. In an investigation conducted by The Guardian, the workers claim to have been physically assaulted, verbally abused, and forced to work overtime, while making significantly less than the living wage.

Sustainable Materials - ★★☆☆☆
