Ford's buddies who own commercial real estate in downtown Toronto are afraid of losing money, so they're begging him to make people go back to the office so we're forced to protect their investment for them.

I was surprised it came so close to me! I think it was basically unaware that I was there until it looked up at the end there and did that little lean back :) Thankfully it was a wide open space so there was no chance I could make it feel cornered.

My thing about garlic is that: It's good, I use it, but the people who say "well, this has one clove of garlic in the recipe, so I'll add two bulbs!" are way off. It's a strong flavour and overpowers other more subtle fun flavours.

I got off the College streetcar in Toronto one evening, and started walking along College. A guy walked the other way past me, and it took just a couple seconds for me to register that it was Scott Thompson (of Kids in the Hall). I turned around to look, and he was checking out my ass. XD

I know authors who won't listen to audiobooks of their own work, because it doesn't sound the way they would read it. It doesn't sound that way when your readers read it to themselves either An audiobook narration is the closest you'll get to being inside a readers head. The differences are a gift

We are comparing them. These are all factors in the difference in wage.

Also, Canada has universal healthcare, which means it's less of a bargaining point for actors in their contracts. They can get higher wages (though remember, the Canadian dollar is lower than USD) because they don't have to trade it for health benefits (and universal dental getting added soon).

As someone getting in to voice acting recently (and late in life), this is the thing I'm noticing the most. Not only is it a very crowded market, but the entry-level little indie jobs that could be a foot in the door to get your voice out on the market are being done by "good enough" AI.
