It was simple. We read the signs. If we'd been there before, we just knew because we had something called a memory. Maybe we'd look at a map and memorised the highways and exits we needed and looked for the signs that told you those exits were coming up. I used to be an airport shuttle driver. (1/2)

The sad thing is that a speech like this would never be allowed in Canadian Parliament. The language would be considered "unparliamentary", and those who call out such behaviours (both federally and provincially), are kicked out of Parliament for the remainder of the day if they don't apologise.

I usually don't say things like this, but I'm glad to see her go. She did not make transit better, and reducing LRT frequency (her idea) was one of the dumbest mistakes any transit commissioner could make.

We went to Shawarmafest today. I had the Chicken Tawouk Wrap from here. They came all the way from Saskatoon for this festival, with a very unique take. I loved it. I hope they'll be back again in the future. Highly recommend.

The Walk. With Fascination Street (my warm up song for playing bass) being a very, very close second.

Public complaint about a large company on social media: Company: We're so sorry to hear you're having issues. Please send us a private message and we can help you. No. No, don't ask me to PM you. Publicly admit your shortcomings so everyone can see what you're going to do to fix things. Ok?!

Seeing the caption "Gutsy Walk In Ottawa This Weekend" on the news...my first thought was you have to be really brave to do it. Instead it's to raise funds/awareness for Colitis and Crohn's disease.

The windows on the apartment are finally getting that much needed washing. Little Freyja is seeing hail falling out the window for the first time, and isn't sure what to make of the thunder and lightning. She's absolutely fascinated by the storm.

Despite having won Iowa, there are a lot of towns and counties in the state that are VERY blue, and very progressive. I should know...I lived in those places.

I do not care if Canada post is ever profitable. It is a public service, everyone owns it. That’s valuable in and of itself. We don’t ask the emergency room or public schools to turn a profit. We ask them to be accessible for everyone to use.

If we gave Freyja catnip, she would absolutely destroy the place. She already flies around the apartment at very dangerous speeds as it is. She doesn't need any help.
