Better late than never (Bluesky logged me out and I forgot my password, but I regained access). Congratulations on your victory, @emmaharrisonptbo.bsky.social! Adding "Emma Harrison" as a keyword to the #Ptbo Bluesky feed. bsky.app/profile/did:...

This why we can't trust the Liberals to deliver on their promises. They helped the Conservatives break the healthcare system. Vote Jen Deck in #Ptbo! 🍊👍

I missed the rally but these clips looks great! I'm not sure the other parties have this kind of energy around their campaigns. Here's hoping #Ptbo turns 🍊!

EXCITING NEWS #Ptbo! Surpise rally today with @maritstilesndp.bsky.social! Come cheer on Jen Deck and Marit Stiles for the final push to turn Peterborough-Kawartha orange! 👊🍊 Where: NDP Campaign Office, 426 George St N, in Ptbo (between Brock St & Hunter St) When: Feb 23 @ 3:30 PM (TODAY)!

Let’s protect Ontario’s bike lanes in this provincial election. Call on all parties to #ReverseBill212! @GreenpeaceCA act.gp/3CBhHCp #ptbo

Fantastic candidate! It would be a crying shame if we didn't elect someone like Jen Deck here in #Ptbo. Go Jen, Go! 👍

Happy First Friday #Ptbo! You're invited to join the local NDP crew at The Only Cafe at 6 PM and meet our amazing candidate, Jen Deck, over drinks and snacks. Afterwards, we'll break off into smaller groups to explore the First Friday Artcrawl. 🍊

Hey #PTBO, remember when I said less parking for apartment requires improving transit? Not approving your cycling master plan and not hiring more transit drivers is EXACTLY NOT THAT.

I keep updating this #ptbo starter pack as I discover fresh arrivals go.bsky.app/CCe9pzb

As Premier, I will end chronic homelessness and make encampments a thing of the past. We will take a housing-first approach, put a roof over people’s heads, and connect them with the supports they need.

Simultaneously glad and frustrated that I needed to be part of this. #ptbo #bikeptbo @cityptbo.bsky.social @joylachica.bsky.social @alexbierk.bsky.social Thanks for the analysis @ptbodad.bsky.social !

Yesterday I hit the streets with a team of Peterborough Youth NDP volunteers who were out canvassing the Avenues alongside provincial candidate Jen Deck and Coun. Joy Lachica. www.thepeterboroughexaminer.com/politics/pro...

Doug Ford says one thing when he’s in front of the cameras, and another when he’s behind closed doors. That’s who he has always been.

As we already know, Peterborough-Nogojiwanong is a very engaged community. Here is some data from the #PTBO Bluesky feed that demonstrates how engaged we are. However, it saddens me to see that outrage at the actions of our city council is what causes this chart to spike.

Great opportunity to learn about heat pumps and greener home heating (and cooling) from @ptbogreenup Feb 13 Our family went to a heat pump a couple of years ago and not only less Green House Gas emissions but cheaper too! kawarthanow.com/2025/02/04/s...

The council meeting last night broke me. Until about halfway through the night, while things often happened around the horseshow I didn't like, I was able to keep some hope that council was 11 people trying their best and worth engaging with in good faith. I was wrong. #ptbo

Huge success on the doors today despite the frigid weather. The working class neighbourhoods in Lansdowne St near the mem centre and the streets near Del Crary are now solid orange with signs and supporters 🍊 Message us to request one and show Doug Ford the working class in #PTBO wants change!

You can cast your ballot right now! No need to wait in line on election day. Just go to the returning office in Peterborough Square downtown whenever you’re free. Vote Jen Deck for #PTBO - Kawartha!

Might be time to reconsider the trains we are purchasing from US factories. Thats an easy one to bring back to Canada.

It’s official: Doug Ford quit on Ontario today. So I’m here to apply for his job. In the next few weeks, we can turn the page on seven long years of failure, corruption, and bad deals. You deserve a better government. With your support, I’ll be a Premier that’s on your side. #ONyourside

Great news for #PtboNogo if this includes Canada. We have a remarkable amount of bookstores per capita!

Ian Vansegbrook attended the PTBO-Kawartha @ndp.ca candidate acclamation this weekend at the Lions Club. Here's what provincial candidate Jen Deck, Ontario NDP leader @maritstilesndp.bsky.social and @oflabour.bsky.social President Lauren Walton had to say. www.trentarthur.ca/news/ptbo-ka...

Even within Ontario, Kitchener/Waterloo is much better at this than Toronto. Heck, even a few small towns seem to be willing to try things. Fergus: thegrand101.com/2023/05/01/p... Peterborough: kawarthanow.com/2023/09/07/b...

The winning squad in Peterborough — Nogojiwanong. VOTE FOR JEN DECK AND MARIT STILES! From left to right: Morgan Carl, @dianetherrien.bsky.social, Jen Deck, @maritstilesndp.bsky.social, Laura Walton (@oflabour.bsky.social) #OntarioElection #OnPoli #Ptbo

As the #OntarioElection approaches, I want to remind my Peterborough friends about the #Ptbo Bluesky feed. I think quite a few people have it pinned! Consider liking and sharing if it's useful to you. Thanks 👍 bsky.app/profile/did:...

The Peterborough NDP has announced their candidate for the next Ontario Election: Jen Deck. Very excited she is running again! #Ptbo www.pkndp.ca/provincial-c...

Welp! Justin Trudeau resigned as leader of the Liberal Party. I voted for him with the promise of election reform, which sadly never came. Even so, I can't help but think Canadians will look back on this day as a colossal mistake. #canpoli #cdnpoli Thank you for your service @pmcanada.bsky.social!

They still have trolley buses and streetcars in TO. #ptbo used to have streetcars, sponsored by Canadian General Electric It's still called the 'electric city'

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

Even the bots understand that the vibrant arts & culture scene is a key feature of #Ptbo.

From our archives. Here's the story of the legendary Al's Pizza and Yee's Chinese Food, including how owner Chris Ho saved the business in the 1990s with his infamous pizza roll. peterboroughcurrents.ca/community/al...

This is the way! 👍

Adding a few more keywords to the #PTBO Bluesky feed: Michelle Ferreri, MPP Dave Smith, Jeff Leal. I am a tad worried that "Dave Smith" is too common a name, so hopefully "MPP Dave Smith" filters out irrelevant stuff. If that doesn't work, we'll just have to vote him out 😉 bsky.app/profile/did:...

Yes.

Dec 13, 1914: Canadian Pacific reroutes two Montreal-Toronto express trains in each direction away from its old line via Peterborough. The express trains would now run on CP's new Lake Ontario Shore Line through Oshawa, Trenton, and Belleville, opened earlier that year. 1/3

meep meep!

VIDEO: "The World's Dumbest Bike Lane Law Just Passed in Canada" Wonderful work as always from NotJustBikes. Keep the bike lanes, it's Doug Ford who has to go! #toronto #ontario #cdnpoli #topoli #urbanism www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgFC...

Thoughtful & instructive, this is exactly the kind of piece I have come to expect from @quillpearson.bsky.social & @ptbocurrents.bsky.social peterboroughcurrents.ca/analysis/fac...

🔊 Time for our annual budget podcast! 🔊 Why are PTBO citizens facing another big tax hike? Could the city boost revenue without raising taxes? Or are spending cuts the answer? What role do the provincial and federal governments play? Lots to discuss! peterboroughcurrents.ca/analysis/a-d...

I've added a few more keywords to the #Ptbo Bluesky Feed: peterboroughcurrents thepeterboroughexaminer kawarthanow trentarthur I'm hoping it can recognize when links from these URLs are posted and add them to the feed! Help me test it? Thanks! 👍 bsky.app/profile/did:...

It's not just Toronto that wants to keep its bike lanes. #ptbo has spent a lot of tax dollars to build a network that connects our extensive recreational trails to the downtown core and even neighbouring towns. @fordnation is overstepping in his zeal to destroy our growing bike culture.

Thanks for adding me! We're all learning these great customization features on Bluesky. Compared to X, they're fantastic for localization. My feed utilizes a 3rd party app to add common #Ptbo hashtags to a feed. You can save a feed and check back often. 👍 bsky.app/profile/did:...

Hello #Ptbo! I'm testing a Bluesky feed that automatically populates using the following tags: #ptbo #ptboon #ptbopoli #ptbocanada #peterborough #nogojiwanong #ptbonogo. Please give it a follow and a like, and do let me know if there are any additional keywords worth adding. bsky.app/profile/did:...

I woke up and had a bunch of new followers (more than I ever had on Twitter). Thanks for following me back. I'll be looking forward to seeing your posts and getting to know you all. 🥂 #CanadaSky

Such a small amount of money that is widely spread. I'd really like to know what the plan is for the future. kawarthanow.com/2024/11/20/p...

Is it just me, or has the #Ptbo Examiner become a lot harder to access lately? I used to be able to read a few free articles each week, but now it feels like they’ve cut that off completely.

My SIL is a legend! She prepped a batch of cookie dough for us to freeze. Now, whenever we want a treat, we just bake a few. Always hot and fresh and removes the temptation of eating them all!

If anyone sees me and they're from the Riding of Peterborough-Kawartha, please use #Ptbo so we can find each other! Michelle Ferreri has got to go!
