It’s been a very snowy week, white out drives, two snow days and rescheduled concerts but the backyard is sparking tonight when the neighbour’s yard light comes on. Winter can be so beautiful!

I’ll just go ahead and leave this right here. #OnPoli

Today, on the 36th anniversary of the attack at École Polytechnique in Montreal, I am reflecting on the violent and brutal murders of 14 women whose lives were taken in a horrific act of femicide.

"Instead of mouthing pie-in-the-sky nonsense about putting a tunnel under Toronto, it’s surely time that our car-loving Premier Doug Ford turned his attention to improving access to outlying locations like Guelph, so we can stop feeling that we have no choice but to drive into the city."

Something to think about as the government gets around to possibly releasing EQAO scores…

Deer My Friends Today I heard the mayers of Toronto and Ottowah installed sine poles yeers ago that dont fit the huge speed sines I made to keep Ontario safe by getteen rid of speed camerahs. This is outrayjess so i will be takeen over both city counsels and investuhgateen Marit Stiles. Premair

The Ontario Ministry of Education has apparently cancelled their pre-budget consultation for this year. They usually ask for feedback from school boards and education partners on funding, programs, challenges, etc. in October, to help inform the budget. This is concerning. #OntEd

They’re already here: How U.S. corporations have been eroding Canada’s economic sovereignty. From Big Oil to Big Tech, American firms are tightening their grip on Canada’s economy — with Ottawa’s quiet approval. New column by Jared Walker: ricochet.media/politics/can... #cdnpoli #elbowsup

We are complicit. Canadians we must do better.

Tap dancing our way into the bottom of the 10th. That was not pretty, but Let’s Go Blue Jays! #webelieve #wantitall ( and we want it NOW!!)

Here we go! #wantitall

lol- “Put me in the game coach!” Davis Schneider ( probably) What a start off!! And go Vladdy!

Stop hitting our guys!

Arrrrrrrrrregh. So so so close.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Teaching can be very stressful in these modern times , but I work in a small country school with a small forest as part of our property. Today was forest day for my SK/1 science class and it was spectacular !

Ladies and gentlemen the Toronto Blue Jays are here to PLAY! #bluejays #Iwantitall

I’m trying to lessen my focus on US politics for my own sanity- but this is awesome.

READ EM AND WEEP. This is the POS you voted for.

Yesss! We don’t need no Yankee loss! These guys want to WIN!!!!

I simply cannot stop laughing at this ridiculous image. What is going on here? Dying with tears rolling down my face at this photo.

"how can you get more accurate answers" from an LLM? that's like asking "how can you get more love from a prostitute." that's just not the service provided. — Thomas' words of wisdom

One of my personal faves is this creamy chicken soup from Here’s Your Bite So good www.heresyourbite.com/post/creamy-...

This whole thread is worth your time to understand a bit of the complexities of current supply chains and how firms are trying (but maybe failing) to make sensible decisions in the face of insensible policy. Also, all of this is without touching China and international dumping. 1/2

There is an increasing “surge of violent attacks, including biting, hitting and kicking, as well as students using furniture to harm staff.” The kids in #OntEd are not okay. And neither are the staff who are leaving the professions they used to love. globalnews.ca/news/1133355...

PLEASE KEEP YOUR EYES OUT FOR LUIGI 😭 globalnews.ca/news/1133320...

"Although it is not a specific criminal offence, catcalling is known to sometimes escalate to more serious sexual offending. [...] The pilot has resulted in 18 arrests for offences such as harassment, sexual assault and theft."

One of the things that has pretty annoying is that if you have any kind of bullshit meter, if you have anything inside of yourself that doesn’t enjoy being lied to, the last couple of years of almost every area of public life have been driving you up a fucking wall

Teen climate activist (my son) needs Canadians to respond to a 2-minute survey to help him build data to bring to local Cdn politicians to urge them to make it easier for Canadians to donate used electronics for reuse (after wiped clean) and recycling.

Rural Liberals. Urban Conservatives. Both shut out. First past the post warps our democracy. In the 85 most urban and rural ridings, vote share and seat share tell two different stories. This is why many don't vote. They feel their vote won't make a different in seats dominated by one party.

"Don't be evil" "In defending a lawsuit by a former employee claiming Google Canada fired her within days of telling her bosses she was pregnant, the tech giant claims that pregnancy is not a protected ground under the Ontario Human Rights Code."

It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.

People on this app get really angry every time I point out that social media manipulation is a real phenomenon that we are all stewing in and that’s having real world consequences and I’m sure part of that is engagement farmers who do that manipulation not liking people talking about it

To: @mark-carney.bsky.social The Substack article below, etitled « An Open Letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney » is a beautiful heartfelt letter from Cole Bennet, a young Canadian. Please do take the time to read it. Thank you🇨🇦

#topoli #onpoli It’s time for Doug Ford to call a full public inquiry into the GTA’s epic transit mess, so taxpayers can get to the bottom of why Metrolinx & InfraOntario are squandering billions on megaprojects that never seem to end. In @torontostar www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

What if Canada could make groceries more affordable for underserved communities and support Canadian farmers / food workers all while taking power back from Galen Weston and the price-fixing grocery barons? @vassb.bsky.social says public grocery stores could be a good idea in Canada too:

Examples of countries with strong democratic socialist traditions include the Nordic countries (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Iceland), as well as countries like Germany and the United Kingdom.

Yes please to this!!!

Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day Celebrate and take action and call on @mark-carney.bsky.social to take immediate action to stop the harms for First Nations children and ensure Canada fully complies with legal orders on Jordan’s Principle
