I stand in solidarity with Canada Post CUPW workers as they stand against the austerity measures of the Mark Carney government and every government before. Canada Post must be reformed, expanded, and allowed to thrive as a public service. Home delivery is not the real reason the service is […]

Here is CUPW's fact sheet on Postal Banking “A Bank for Everyone” Fun fact! "our post office used to have a national savings bank – up until 1969 – and there is no reason we shouldn't have one today” Some other reasons: "Banks are failing to meet the needs of a growing number of Canadians […]

Québec cancels the 2035 petrol vehicle ban. They say that 90% of vehicles sold will have to be hybrid or electric. Me: We’re in 2034. The Earth is dying under the sunrays… https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/electric-vehicle-ban-quebec-1.7644825 - - - Le Québec annule l’interdiction des […]

If the ghouls destroy the post office, the library is next.

Ahh better!

The Canada Revenue Agency is doing a public consultation on automatic tax filing (which they should have implemented …several decades ago!). Fill it out and let the CRA know that it’s a good idea! […]

combine all three, heat pumps, solar, white rooftops and you might be creating an energy saving housing plan. But alas the omnipotent lord of these lands province-mayor will cancel it #topoli #cdnpoli

"Zombie Listing" is a cute and perky way to say "Hoarded Housing". Any entity that can afford to leave property listings up for an extended period of time at unreasonable prices—paying property taxes and potentially vacant home taxes—is already fabulously wealthy. If you're out of a job for […]

Because I am a curious fool, I purchased a three hundred and fifty five millilitre can of "root beer" flavoured carbonated kombucha. Dear reader: do not do this thing that I have done. This toot is a warning and part of a system of warnings, the danger exists in your time as it did in mine […]

I'm sure other people have noted this but at some point we went from talking about "social network sites" to talking about "social media sites". At first, the network was the thing that mattered. Then, the media was the thing that mattered. A quick Google Trends query shows the shift might […]

Doug Ford's latest remarks on speed cameras - claiming he would bring in new measures instead - prompted me to create this #VisionZero meme! #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #ONpoli www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

Last night I cycled to and back from a friends B-day party at High Park & Dundas. Wouldn’t have dared to do it without the Bloor bike lanes. We need to keep these bike lanes to give people options that aren’t another car on the road! #bikeTO #topoli #onpoli

These Residents Built a $10,000 Bike Lane in Atlanta "Just completed: turning street parking on one side of Virgina Avenue NE into a pop-up, protected, two-way bike lane, connecting a local high school and elementary school. The project took a year from concept to execution, with 36 volunteers […]

"The final results were still startling. In the 22 minutes the presser ran — not including reporter questions — I clocked 48 cars going 10 or more over. That’s more than two per minute. And get this: I was standing in a construction zone, in front of a police station, in moderate traffic, in […]

Sometimes someone posts something that feels laser targeted. This isn't one of those times, I like my disc brakes that moan when I squeeze them. https://tacobelllabs.net/@fredy/115268209667684720

I've learned recently that there are adults who do not know that 1mL of water weighs 1g. If you didn't before, now you know.

https://youtube.com/shorts/2gvNnSeY4jk BBC continues to spout Israeli talking points. 81% of UN member states recognise Palestine, an overwhelming, monumental majority that's beyond reproach in every forum... Except the UN, where the Security Council dictates. #FreePalestine

The Charter is not just a law, it is an expression of Canada’s most basic and deepest values. “Notwithstanding” the Charter means “I don’t share these values”. Any and every politician or government that proposes its use should face such an extreme backlash that no one would dare consider it […]

@cargot_robbie The upzoning is nowhere near enough. They need to get rid of setback and height limit requirements for any building with 3+ units on single family home lots. And parking requirements Pre-approved designs. That'll all go a long way.

If you're looking for plain tees, sweaters and sweatpants, I highly recommend https://jerico.ca/. They make the cloth, dye, and sew within the GTA (Toronto). Their staff are unionized (to my knowledge). They're relatively affordable and my shirts have lasted 4+ years so far. Their sizing is a […]

I usually doomscroll until I see something positive to remind me to put down the screen, but there was nothing positive showing up in my feed tonight, so I’m posting this for anyone else who needs a visual cue to stop the doomscroll #bloomscrolling #remembertosleep

Survival is an act of resistance. "... grasping that feeling firmly in your mind’s grip, write yourself a short story on the last page of that notebook, of the past you yearn to relive, as it will happen in the future. The messy yet satisfying future where you will find the lasting, secure […]

I had someone who would send me code. Ugly code, but workable. Then he sent code and it was much better looking! Structured in a way his code just wasn't before. I was excited to compliment the new style... And then I recalled the times he'd mentioned asking Gemini for code. So I mentally […]

Everyone's talking about autism. We have better testing criteria and effective accommodations that make it worth getting diagnosed. We also come into contact with with WAY more strangers in daily life, and I think navigating that is more taxing for ND folks. I'm not yet convinced that the […]

CBC headline: "Toronto's Palestinian and Jewish communities react to Canadian recognition of Palestinian state" Such headlines contribute to the blending of a government with a religion should should never happen. This is what allows the Israeli government to claim that anyone who criticises […]
