    This is in my town. They are allowed and encouraged to do so. Their place is THEIR place, it fosters a sense of community and ownership of the community.

    This project really kicks ass and it’s making waves. I know the guy is a millionaire, but I’ve listened to a few interviews and his heart is at the right place. He genuinely cares and is being pragmatic about it.

    I wish I could say the same for the billionaires of this province. Looking at you, Irving shitbags.

      It’s actually not as crazy being a tech millionaire nowadays since so many people build a great service and then just have it bought up by the competition.

      It said right in the article Salesforce bought his product in 2011 and thats what made him a millionaire. Pretty good way to use that life changing money for the better of others and not just himself.

        A million dollars ain’t what it used to be. Won’t even buy a house in many cities anymore.

          A million will get you a home in just about any city. Whether it’s a really nice one or not is the question.
