From my little art college at UofG the number of folks with FEVERS AT SCHOOL is now daily.

hey bluesky my Trusted Covid feed died very suddenly and disappeared. Did yours too?

BWAH HA HA HA HA HA!

Never underestimate the power of the mass desire to hate and hurt people seen as different.

Straightforward 🇨🇦 messaging in Chatelaine Magazine: If you need an air conditioner, buy a heat pump.

Eighty years after the end of World War II, @michelagrasso.bsky.social reminds us not just of the soldiers and partisans, but also of a humble hero often overlooked: the #bicycle. How does #history shape today’s #movements? Discover the connections in this powerful article

We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.

I am most excited for the bloom of the fasciation of this echinacea plant. The 4th pic is the same plant 2 summers ago.

Thank you. Lyne Filiatrault, Arijit Chakravarty & David Fisman. canadahealthwatch.ca/2025/04/13/w... @dfisman.bsky.social

Things that DO make traffic worse: - TOO MANY CARS - SUBURBAN SPRAWL - CAR DEPENDENCY (even for short trips) - Bigger vehicles - On-street parking - ride-hailing Things that DON’T make traffic worse (actually mitigate congestion): Bike lanes Bus lanes Decongestion pricing #TheTRUTHaboutTRAFFIC

Bill 5 passed final reading yesterday, and now just awaits royal assent. Here's everything you need to know about the Doug Ford government's law meant to fast-track mining and other development in Ontario: thenarwhal.ca/ontario-bill...

If I had a nickel for every time someone asked me if my 13yo had their Type-1 Diabetes under control! The follow-up is always - “one day they will be an adult & can manage it all themselves.” ALL = no pancreas, applying for device funding, ordering supplies, aging out of peds care, no health care…

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money and pollution. Via UITPnews

I present the “octopus tree”! This Hackberry tree was struck by lightening a number of years ago, and The Arboretum staff elected to leave it - and nature demonstrated its resilience and the tree continued to thrive. In a month it will vanish into a shrub form until the fall. #ArboretumGuelph

😳 Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph is now considered a risk area with ongoing measles circulation. It’s not time to panic, but where the 🤬 is Public Health? wdgpublichealth.ca/news/media-r...

My spouse picked this vase up for accidental flower clips in our garden. When the flower wilts, you can turn it around for the unhappy face on the opposite side.

You asked, I listened As an act of civic journalism, I contacted the Privy Council Office and the Speaker of the House of Commons to clarify if Pierre Poilievre can still serve as Leader of the Opposition and if he can continue living in his public mansion The official answers: No and no

This plus the $200k salary w/ pension makes me wonder of I should take a stab at taking over for PP - it’s not like he does anything specialized (short of parroting slogans and looking smug). 🤪

If you live in #Guelph. The Cherry Blossoms at The Arboretum (UofG), are in bloom!

After what happened last night in Toronto (cop cuffs a cyclist to ticket them for taking too much road) - this article couldn’t be more timely.

PURE GOLD.

This story fans joy. 🤭 Vote @brucefanjoy.bsky.social! #CanadaVotes

I always take voting advice from old rich white guys who golf. The bonus ROBO-Harper endorsement for PP should demonstrate how desperate the Cons game is at… I wish this election was about choosing a candidate to lead Canada and not an anyone but PP affair. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Albert Einstein died on this day, April 18, 1955. It is incredible to hear Albert Einstein explain his famous formula, E=mc².

Why Do Covid Conscious People Still Try To Stay Well And Healthy Despite All The Evidence That Their Actions Work?

Hey #Guelph. Did you hear the thunder snow?

It’s still a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history. Please share it as much as you can.

Honestly no one is doing a better job of explaining how we feel here in the Canadian urbanism space than @ohtheurbanity.bsky.social youtu.be/S74Z5sc5l3Y?...

BWAH HA HA HA HA HA! "kick me to the curb" is missing.

"It’s a really ugly situation when a sitting Premier is trying to insert herself into the outcome of a federal election the way Ms. Smith appears to be. It’s offensive and wrong. It’s certainly no way for a provincial leader in Canada to behave in the midst of a national crisis."

“Tell the truth, tell it often and tell it well.”

“A compliment?!?!” Our neighbours are threatening our sovereignty and #FraudNation thinks it’s somehow sweet. #moron

There's no such thing as a COVID infection without consequence.

If you need details for you MP letter re: the CMOH Canada should not select.

Fingers to the keyboards folks - reach out to your MP and let them know she is NOT a good choice for CMOH. www.ourcommons.ca/members/en/s...

It's the 49th parallel. The US is a rogue state and a threat to the world.
