And @Sonicsnafu2022, it is a part time position according to the current contract. Sorry that makes you angry.
Please read and share widely, if you or someone you know is planning to come to the SickKids ED.

A seemingly modest & wrinkled pepper from Trinidad is probably one of the hottest to exist. This deadly Caribbean pepper is, intriguingly, named after an even more fascinating Indian town where Mangal Pandey sparked the Sepoy Mutiny. A pepper named Barrackpore, a thread. 1/15

Just to be clear, if we can afford to spend $290,000,000 to host five 2026 World Cup soccer games in Toronto, we can also afford to provide safe, affordable housing for people experiencing homelessness in Toronto...It's really a question of our priorities!

Software engineering teams usually take twice as long to get something done as estimated. This is my observation, in general. It’s also the observation 50 years ago, as written in The Mythical Man Month. Incredible how this seems to have remained constant over decades:
Each programming job takes approximately twice as long as estimated.
