The thing we can control to stop fascism this week is voting Doug Ford out Thursday, do not relinquish your power.

Return To Normal Season5 Episode24 Audrey and Boyd are determined to shop local for imported goods and decide to cut back on out-of-season fresh produce while Hank wanders the City searching for the elusive local Ontario PC candidate no one has seen... NOW STREAMING on #YGK Rogue TV

The most significant person leading this election is YOU - THE VOTER #govote #votingmatters #voteforyourfuture #onpoli

Happy Freedom To Read Week. How will you be celebrating? Reading, banning or burning? "If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need." -Marcus Tullius Cicero [Narrator: Maybe a bottle of wine or twenty in the cellar to add to everything you need.] #ygk #FreedomToRead

The true "cost" of living should not be measured in dollars but in the time lost over 40 or 50 years spent chasing currency to live... Here endeth today's lesson. #ygk

YGK Rogue City Season 5 Ep.23 Audrey and Boyd have a kitchen table come to Jesus talk about cutting household expenses so they can afford to pay their 5.3% Municipal tax increase while Hank investigates a peculiar odor lingering over the City. NOW STREAMING on #YGK Rogue TV

Tale of Two Cities: “The City of Kingston’s economy is in jeopardy.” - #ShopLocal Special Interest Group "It's time to begin planting some vegetable seeds. These plants will be more necessary and more valuable than money come harvest time." -Local Gardener, Home Economist #ygk

When they say shop local, they mean you should purchase imported goods from a retailer that lives in your community... Where are Made in Kingston winter boots, pants, parkas and toques sold? We'd hazard a guess that even Mayor96's big blue tent with room for everyone isn't made locally... #ygk

After casting your ballot, drop in to YGK Rogue City Diner for the #NeverVoteConservative Pigs At The Trough Blue Plate Special - a sumptuous meal of overstuffed ham, fat back bacon, eggs and a side of Ford Foghorn Leghorn hash... browns. Reservations recommended. Dial #YGK 1234

⚠️Winter Weather Pedestrian Travel Alert!❄️ Don't bother... ❤️Kingston. Where Ostentatious Grand Gestures Thrive™ #ygk

Due to the winter weather, the political bullshit and Monday being a Holiday, we hereby proclaim that Wine & Beer O'clock shall commence at 3:30pm today. Void where prohibited. #ygk #WineOclock

Tired of paying inflated prices for produce from greedy grocers? Growing some of your own food is a revolutionary act. Our seasonal supply chain is 44 footsteps from garden to kitchen. Reflect. Connect. Flow Grow. Your. Own Veggies. Love. Containers #ygkClimateAction #ygk

So imagine this weather on February 27, eh? People in Ontario will line up for hours in Winter hoping they will be rostered to a Doctor. But will they line up to vote during a Winter Blizzard? Bad politicians are elected by good people who don't vote. #ygk #NeverVoteConservative #OnPoli

Elon Musk paid less for the United States government than he did for Twitter. Remarkable how low the bidding was.

UPDATED UPDATE: YGK Rogue City has designated February as Lupercalia in an effort to purify the City and shall run concurrently with Disenchantment Month until further notice, because, quite frankly, there's a lot to purify. ❤️Kingston. Where Ostentatious Grand Gestures Thrive™ #ygk

Happy Lupercalia to those who celebrate...

Many local candidates running to split the vote and keep Dear Leader in power. During different times we'd be tempted to vote for the None Of The Above Direct Democracy Party... Vote wisely, Kingston. #ygkVotes #ygk

Happy Relationship Management Day to all who celebrate. And remember, as Stephen Stills once sang: "If you can't be with the one you love, honey, love the one you're with." #HappyValentinesDay #ygk

The City spends much time and money to provide people unobstructed access to a "heritage" field, provide others a facility to play soccer out of season all while some residents still live in tents year round. ❤️Kingston. Where Indoor Soccer Facilities And Baseball Diamond Fences Collide #ygk

❤️Kingston: Where local humans make a fuss over winter weather that may disrupt a transportation system that is based on bare asphalt and GHG emissions that affect the local climate which contributes to the significant winter weather we fuss over... Twas ever thus. #Winter #ygk

Ontario: Ford wants us to be in business with this man to the tune of 100 million and who KNOWS what else he's promised him behind closed doors. The man is doxxing and targeting people he claims are opponents. He is dangerous and disgusting. Tell Doug to scrap the Starlink deal!

Kingston Climate Emergency Day 2,172 Before you place an order for out-of-season Valentine's Day flowers to gift your beloved, ask your local florist what the environmental costs and impacts are of the products they sell. Remember, everyone pays for free delivery... #ygk #ValentinesDay

LAST CALL: The Beer Store on Princess Street is one of 23 locations across Ontario that will close in response to the expansion of beer and wine into convenience and grocery stores across the province. #ygk #NeverVoteConservative

YGK Rogue City would like to remind you that your 2025 interim taxes are due February 28 and the 5.3% increase is not related to your future parking inconvenience... #ygkBudget #ygk

Seems right that a former goaltender is our best choice to defend Canadian sovereignty against Trump tyranny. #NeverVoteConservative #CanPoli #ygk

Your life is busy, and news moves fast. Sometimes it can seem almost impossible to keep up with all of Ford’s cuts–but that’s exactly what he wants. Here's a swell website that tracks everything Dear Leader has done... #ygk #NeverVoteConservative #OnPoli ofl.ca/ford-tracker/

A citizens watchdog group gave the City of Kingston low marks for “an uneven commitment to transparency and accountability.” -The Whig, Feb.06. 2025 ❤️Kingston. Where Ostentatious Grand Gestures Thrive™ #ygk

It's only February but we have a solid contender for Quote Of The Year Paterson said Kingston "should be held up as an example of how democratic governments can function.” ❤️Kingston. Where Ostentatious Grand Gestures Thrive™ #ygkQuote #ygk www.thewhig.com/news/citizen...

Are you frustrated by the inconvenience of reading labels at the grocery store to determine the origin of unhealthy processed food? Buying Canadian has never been easier with a monthly subscription to our new and improved Inconvenience Meter. Void where prohibited. Some conditions apply. #ygk

COMING SOON: Trump Casino Plaza Gaza

Feeling anxious and inconvenienced by the White House firehose of foolishness flooding the zone? Our updated Made In Canada Inconvenience Meter will help you decipher bluster and bullshit to help you focus on what is really happening. And yes, Doug Ford Is MAGA. He said so... #ygk

Kingston Climate Emergency Day 2,164 Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. #ygk

City Council to consider Non-Kingston Resident User Fees for recreation programs, etc. Next, Road Tolls for Non-Kingston Residents? #ygk

Your local Inconvenience Czar since 2020. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. #ygk

It would only *begin* with our caving to Trump's immediate demands on border security. Next he demands US banks enter Canada. Then it'll be ceding Arctic sovereignty. Then it will be the 51st state. No concessions. It's time for a proper war footing, and Vichy Canadians can get fucked.

Kingston Climate Emergency Day 2,163 And pray tell, what would not capping oil and gas emissions cost Canadians by 2040? We're listening... #ygk #ClimateAction

Never use Shopify. Avoid the Opinicon Resort. ❤️Kingston & Area. You'll Be Amazed At What You Can Boycott #ygk

UPDATE: Local Beer Index Research, January 2025 Loyal Oarsman: Large Crosscut Draft $6.86➡️ Kelsey's: "Premium" Crosscut Draft $8.99 ⬆️$0.20 Bella's Bistro: Crosscut Draft $8.90 Caveat emptor, y'all. And drinking local is drinking responsibly during these Tariff Times #ygk

Twas ever thus... #NeverVoteConservative #CanPoli #ygk

Might be a good time for a local municipal government near you to reconsider running their email system on USA servers... #Tariffgeddon #ygk #OCanada

And it came to pass on Tariff Day, the American Army stormed Slush Puppie Place... #ygk #ygkHistory

With a windchill of - 22°C, it's a good day to plan a vegetable garden in your tariff free yard, if you have one... We are still consuming carrots, squash, beans and onions from last season's harvest. And remember, in these "tariffying" times, eat local and in season, eh? #ygk

Ontario, Alberta, and Saskatchewan are the only provinces that still publicly fund Catholic schools. I wish someone here had the political courage to end the denominational school system like Newfoundland and Labrador did in 1997: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

State Of The City This is NOT the big blue tent Mayor96 promised. "We are going to get to work, and we're going to build a big blue tent. And let me tell you something, there's room for everyone." -Mayor 96, launching federal Conservative campaign #ygk #StateOfTheCity
