Well, people went with the federal mood at the expense of a great local representative. Wishing @matthewgreen.bsky.social all the best for what's next, whatever that may be.

Happy Democracy Day Canada!!

Meet people where they are, even on local cable access channels. That's why Matthew Green has my vote. He meets Hamiltonians everywhere they are. And he advocates for Hamilton. Way to go Matthew Green! www.thespec.com/news/hamilto...

An interesting attempt at increasing Canadian food sovereignty. macleans.ca/society/boyc...

Hamilton Centre is currently a coin flip between Libs and NDP. (CPC 3rd) Let's continue to keep the negativity of the CPC campaign out of The Hammer and keep a presence of the workers first party in Ottawa. Come on Matt Green and the NDP! smartvoting.ca/ridings/fede...

Carney's playing 5D chess... PP wants to deal out Uno cards. Hope our riding ends up a splash of orange in a sea of red. PP platitudes aren't policy. And his policies will only help those better off than the people he's pretending to placate. deanblundell.substack.com/p/carneys-ch...

Something about Signal, war plans and the title of this song. (The song is great, btw; the Signal fiasco? Not so much... ) music.youtube.com/watch?v=HSs4...

Was just reading John Quincy Adams' oral arguments before SCOTUS in the Amistad case and this part seems, uh, pretty relevant

I thought they were more like edicts. I did not get the memo.

Just another new normal Wednesday... Reading double speak everywhere, head swirling, humming this song... 🎵"You're not talking straight!"🎵... music.youtube.com/watch?v=P_BB...

Welp, sold out in 30min

A good listen. Maria Ressa is living a slide into authouritarianism for a second time. ... Also, over 70% of the world's population is under some form of authouritarian rule. And that was before the US election. Yikes. youtu.be/jsHoX9ZpA_M?...

"[Biden] expanded the spending for both programs to build a more resilient food supply chain that didn’t just rely on major food companies... ... [Trump]’s move to halt the programs comes as school nutrition officials are becoming increasingly anxious about affording healthy food..."

Apropos of... Everything, I guess? Great lyricist. Paints such lovely and poignant word pictures with her mouth. music.youtube.com/watch?v=721J...

Unhinged and unchecked neoliberalism is just freedom for the few. It's not for the people and not healthy. It's like cancer. Sure it's growth at an impressive rate, but at the expense of the health of the host. And eventually it metastases and invades neighbouring areas. #ElbowsUp

IT'S DEMOCRACY DAY IN ONTARIO!! YAY! #OntarioVote2025 #Democracy #Vote

Paying some taxes, listening to this song... "I just want to thank you... For getting me through." Our opinions may differ on how the $ is spent, but I like that we pile $ together to spend on each other. We share this land and help carry each other. 🇨🇦🍁 music.youtube.com/watch?v=hEKw...

Got my $200 bribe! But they don't get my vote. Now to redistribute it! Mine is going to The HUB (www.thehamiltonhub.org) and ACORN (acorncanada.org) If you really want to help folks - unlike Doug Ford - check this out: www.200cheque.ca #200cheque #TheHub #ACORN #Vote #Ontario

Watching my toddler tread all over this World map floor puzzle, with that destructive curiosity that toddlers have (shaking certain pieces; picking up others, looking confused, and then dismissively tossing them aside), seemed like an insightful comment on current US foreign policy.

Here's a great kids book to get little ones into the idea of growing veggies and, more importantly, eating ones that look natural. epicbooks.ca/item/-xIGGD0...

And I'm getting the non-US IP block... It's very transparent what you're doing...

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.” Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!

Can't wait for my first box! www.oddbunch.ca

Appropriately, this one frequently pops into my head these days... With all your powers, what would you do? music.youtube.com/watch?v=8SEa...

This song seems appropriate for these days somehow..... music.youtube.com/watch?v=F-Pr...

To de-oligarch my book shopping. 3 online steps I try, to avoid billionaire's sites: (1) Library (HPL.ca is my local) (2) Bookoutlet.ca (they had me at their "About Us") (3) Local bookstore online catalogue (thecityandthecitybooks.ca) Books take time to write, so it's OK they take time to ship.
