Reminder that when the Freedom Convoy began, Doug Ford went AWOL snowmobiling in the Muskokas, did little to nothing to support the City of Ottawa as the second biggest city in the province descended into anarchy for 3 weeks, then later refused to testify at the emergencies act inquiry

"Surface parking generally costs $5,000 to $10,000 per spot, with underground/structured parking costing five to 10 times more than that. By comparison, installing good bike parking costs about $100 per bike depending on the type of rack used." streets.mn/2023/05/23/b...

This is an appalling attack on bodily autonomy; they're just starting with this population because they think they can get away with it--all the evidence says involuntary "treatment" is ineffective and dangerous. Ask yourself: who's next? www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Remote work doesn't thwart productivity. It boosts focus. Government workers are 12% more productive when randomly assigned to work from home. They're more efficient where it's quiet. Most people aren't shirking from home. They're escaping distractions and long commutes.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you’re under absolutely no obligation to justify yourself to anyone if you decide to spend the weekend reading and eating croissants.

Mmm, PCs have been doing this for a few elections now. It's shitty and cowardly. At our all-candidates meeting last time, I wanted to leave an empty chair and a name plate on the presenter table but my kinder colleagues dissuaded me. I still think it would've made an important point.

reading the Toronto Region Board of Trade's latest congestion plan and it remains hilarious that in this city, "politely ask the police to enforce the highway traffic act, literally one of their basic jobs" is seen as a major action item bot.com/Resources/Re...

I need abled people to understand that breaking someone's wheelchair is like breaking your legs. Both of them. They want to get away with breaking people's legs.

The level to which the City tells pedestrians they can go fuck themselves is almost hilarious. At least the sleepy, one-way residential street is clear for cars…

A good read. Even if you don't care about drug users (you should, but putting that aside), any kind of forced treatment is the start of a very dangerous slipperly slope denying people their bodily autonomy. Ask yourself: who's next?

I'll go with the rolling ladder, Château Margaux, and candlelight meal, but it'll be my cats feasting on the hearts. I'll enjoy watching them while myself having a nice pasta, maybe with rosé sauce.

Time to think about an MMR booster. If you're GenX, get your titres checked since it's possible we got a less-effective vaccination schedule way back when. Or just get a booster because why the heck not?

Sentence of the Day (well, two sentences) is won hands-down today by @brownoftheglobe.bsky.social in his book Sixty. I always read anything Ian Brown writes, because whatever it is always has perfect sentences like this. <chef's kiss> Thank you, sir. #booksky 📚💙
