Sis forgot to tell me she was taking a 2 week trip to the states, leaving me as point person in case my Mom needs anything. Apparently she and my brother-in-law have not heard about boycotting the US. (Have suspected recently that he's secretly MAGA)

What did I say? Barrie, Vaughn, Mississauga. All but one of the cops charged is a 905er. This is not a "Toronto problem".

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

Woah! Would this be a good time to mention that Toronto cops, by and large, are NOT Torontonians? 9 Toronto police officers faci... www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"The CRA will never call you" Today the CRA called me. And the first thing they did was ask for all my PII.

The routine of Tuesday night nightmares continues. Consisted mostly of me stressing over getting the tables set for a large dinner party.

Grr. HR refuses to action my T1213 to reduce my income tax at source until CRA acknowledges it with a "letter of authority" CRA will take 12 weeks to issue this form letter.

Fabulous.

I just drove home along Gerrard as they were finishing up removing ALL the snow off the street! Only 8 days after the storm.

We do not need to forgive those who have done us grievous harm. Accepting, grieving, and processing the harm done to us will change our feelings towards that harm without making it all about the perpetrator. We don't owe them shit.

Instagrammer posts a reel of a long freight train passing and asks: How long to you think it is? And i'm blown away by the number of different ways you can measure a freight train. We only every did it by number of cars when I was a kid.

Oi.

Now try it with menopausal women. I do not have the same brain I had at 20.

This is crazy. My kids went to this school. The provincial administrator that recently took over from the elected board just fired, suspended or transfered the ENTIRE staff of the Gr. 7-8 part of the school including the principal and VP beachmetro.com/2026/01/31/t...

I Googled. There are 5-7 TIMES as many Canadians employed in the construction sector as the auto manufacturing sector. Let China supply us with a few cheap EVs. We need people to work on housing instead.

The first half of the Lower Don Crossing for the Ontario Line is being shifted into place above the DVP this weekend.

I'm trying to figure out where I could go to get a good view of this. Thinking of walking the Lower Don Trail to Corktown Common tomorrow.

Our darling Catherine

Today is a day to stay off the roads in the East end. Not because of the weather but because the DVP is closed and all those 905ers will be on the city streets. Angry and without the "knowledge" how to get around. Expect to see them taking GPS shortcuts that aren't.

When I was growing up my best friend's Dad was employed plowing the runways a Malton airport in the winter and was a cabbie in the summer. He supported a family of 5 that way. I thought it would be cool to drive a plow when I grew up.

@erinbiba.bsky.social All i've seen is a log of calls from a tip line Origin of most of the "tips" remain unverified. The log tries to verify identities of the callers to call the back & also search up their criminal records. Impossible to differentiste the crank calls from the real stuff, sadly.

I went down a rabbit hole last night googling Tupperware and BPA Oh, and microwave pressure cookers. Anyway, US says BPA is bad. Can govt says its perfectly safe except for baby bottles. Blogs say the BPA replacements are worse. Welp.

On the plus side before it all kicked off, the fox and I absolutely nailed the cover shot for its debut LP, which I haven’t actually heard yet but which it assures me “mixes bucolic psychedelia with unique, wistful balladry”.

Ok, it's a very minor crime but this story is great. collider.com/martin-scors...

That's one of the scenes I immediately thought of when I heard.

Love this.

Long shot but I’m desperate (ttc lost and found office is closed now) Toronto, if you find my other mitten on Line 2 today, please reach out 🙏🏼

Last night's Lorazepam did not prevent the worst stress dream i've had in months. I think mebbe i need to add a little meditation to my bedtime routine tonight.

If you've never watched Border Security:Canada's Frontline you might find this interesting. I'm only reposting for its educational value.

I'm thinking about all the ones who've gone before. John Candy Peter Gzowski My Dad My friend Jenny, who was an amazing musician but thought she had to be a good cook also. This spaghetti sauce would not be up to her standards.

Someone ssid "edge case". Take a drink.

I remember. I remember the before-times when I didn't have use my under-bed space to store stuff.

Welcome a young'un to the ring.

Well this just sounds like a load of dingo's kidneys.

Btw I’ve personally worked with Rimkus and the engineers give questionable to just plain wrong advice. I’m sure the company got a bunch of training money to put up and shut up. Btw this contradicts the original report.

I went to my chiropractor yesterday. Then did a Bible study on Revelation in the evening and took my Lorazapam too late at 11pm. Which of these things is making me feel like crap today? Exactly right. It's cumulative.

40 years ago. Before the internet. In the underground mall in First Canadian Place a crowd gathered around the window of the Sony store. Each new person (including me)walking up saying "what's going on?" While the TV in the window showed the explosion on repeat.

My little darlings were brought up as free range as possible in the 2000's. They got used to coming home and finding the door unlocked. Now in the condo they want me to leave it unlocked as well. Your stay-at-home Dad has flown the coop guys. You are now a 20 something latch-key kid. AKA an adult.

No one drives in the winter. #biketo

Sigh. Most of my latest followers are either reply-guys or re-post bots (whether they are actual bots or not) If you have nothing really to add to the convo, i'm not gonna follow.
