  • I use to work for telus and I have lots of friends there still. Everyone is told to use AI and gets $1000 a month. If you hit the limit, they’ll up you to $2000. They’re also spending millions a year on lift and shift VMs into GCP which are not cloud optimised. This year they did a tonne of layoffs in chunks. Directors were told to cut 30%.

    I’m sure if they don’t get their DC, they’re just going to keep burning money to use AI, more to fight the City Councillor, and then more to build the DC in the end because there’s no way prices will come down.

    I’m pretty sure any reasonable person will understand it when you say something like “I’m one of the polite and quiet Americans”.

    I have several American friend. One of them was 100% certain he didn’t sounds American so I called it out a few times and he finally agreed.

    I’ve also been ~10km across the boarder at a hotel. The bar staff called me out as a Canadian within 5 min. “It’s the way you say ‘house’”. I got them to say it, I said it, sounds EXACTLY the same to me but they said they’re certain.

    Point being, people can tell you’re lying most of the time so it’s really not worth it.

    Americans in the Netherlands will say Canada. Caught a few different groups doing while I was there.

    Sir, it’s very clear you’ve got that Southern US twang, we don’t speak like that. “They treat us so much better when we say Canada”. How about you don’t do that and just be polite.
