Incredible work by Irregular Galaxy Doods, as shared by the Artist on Zuckerberg’s House of Horrors.

"Canada's not for sale" clearly doesn't include Ontario.

Willow river park was beautiful this afternoon! It was so nice to go out and get some sun! #kitchener

This attitude is a pet peeve of mine. Some people seem weirdly motivated to discourage others from seeking a better life. Here's an essay from 2023 I wrote to address this common reaction to emigration. Don't let the naysayers hold you back.

Last month, Premier Ford introduced Bill 242, the so-called 'Safer Municipalities Act' which could make it easier for cities to dismantle homeless encampments without offering viable shelter solutions. Learn more in this week's #CitifiedWR https://buff.ly/3EczkbZ

It was 15°F/-9°C this morning as these Minneapolis elementary school kids traveled to school on their bicycles. Bikes can and do work as transportation in the winter, especially with safe bike infrastructure and traffic calmed streets. 🚲 ❄️
