@cibc 4 -- I hung up b/c, well, it's 1:30am, and I'm tired. You're a Big 5 bank, one of the most profitable companies in Canada. You have money to hire more agents, you can post hours on bank cards, but please do something, or else you'll be losing my and others' business.

@cibc -- 3 and the automated voice that said the same thing at me probably a hundred times was not programmed to tell me that you were closed, so I assumed you were still open. I didn't get the option for a callback.

[Melanie Mah @lemonyhams]

@cibc 2 -- You would think midnight on a Monday would be a good time to call telephone banking, right? It wasn't. I waited an hour and a half. No message on the back of my card saying what your telephone banking hours are, but the old card said you were open 24/7,

[Melanie Mah @lemonyhams]

@cibc 1 -- fraud alert was put on my card after I paid a credit card bill for an account that I've been paying for out of my CIBC account for YEARS. I want full functionality on my main bank account, so I decided to rectify things ASAP.

@razorfemme What a beautiful photo. What a huge smile. Biggest congrats to you and your spouse!

@Mister_Groomage Thanks so much both for returning this to me and for restoring my faith in humanity, which has taken a beating this week!

Will I ever pass an old erhu-playing busker on the street without giving them money? Let's hope the answer is no.

Aside from that old white guy I saw one time, that is.

@J__Possum I haven't known if it was right to continue masking or not but my partner and I both do, and we also hardly eat indoors. We live in Toronto, Canada, fyi.

NDP, I don't need you to have hope, I need you to be decisive and stand for things. Also email me less than people I'm dating.

@Hollay2 @nancyjocullen Y'all's lives are filled with excitement. Me, I just wrote yesterday. Could do with a clean house and triceratops statue...

[Melanie Mah @lemonyhams]

@amylaurajones Too exciting! Congrats on this!

[Melanie Mah @lemonyhams]

Big fan of measures like this.

@johngreen @sarahuristgreen I'm late to this. Is it too late to donate and gain access to this podcast?

[Alicia Elliott - AND THEN SHE FELL out now! @WordsandGuitar]

Doing research on Pauline Johnson and see Margaret Atwood was hired by the City of Vancouver Opera to write the libretto on the last week of her life. As though she has any insight into "her life, multicultural identity and art" and didn't totally ignore her in her book Survival.
