and a couple of notes:
1. Re: archives — many of the satellite archives (e.g. immigration, transportation & highways) are being closed outright. Transportation was quoted as saying they were likely to just throw stuff in the trash (!!) — the biggest WTF comes from the fact that many of the archives are staffed primarily by volunteers (how does that save money, Mr. Harper?)
2. Re: trading people (or at least their social media selves) were you thinking of Empire Avenue? It’s still ticking.
