J'habite au centre-ville de Toronto depuis 39 ans et je n'ai jamais été propriétaire d'une voiture, ce serait complètement inutile. Vivre en banlieue, c'est un choix.

Le vaccin contre la grippe et celui contre la COVID sont encore gratuits pour tout le monde en Ontario.

I've been to the US many times. SF, NYC, Chicago, Miami. Found love in Pittsburgh and he followed me to Canada. What the US has done to us is unforgivable, and I will never again set foot in that country. Even my husband doesn't want to return.

What we were hearing about the contents of a possible agreement wasn't promising, so when the talks failed, I was actually relieved. Lutnick's involvement put an end to the series of fruitless concessions we had been making, and the end result might be positive.

Glad to have dumped them for Helcim. Canadian, cheaper and easier to use.

A federal party leader should probably be more concerned by what is going on in Canada and less by the dumpster fire next door, and not assume that everything that is going on there has relevance here.

I had to convince a friend who lives in my building and has asthma and COPD to drop by and pick up a few 3M Auras before going out. I suspect many people will end up in the hospital today.

I've had HEPA air purifiers since the pandemic and they are getting a workout today.

My dilated aortic root was found incidentally when I had a lung CT. Now I have regular echocardiograms and cardiac MRIs and I take candesartan.

Dégoûtant. C'est ça, défendons bec et ongles une disposition permettant de suspendre les droits de la personne. Je ne reconnais plus ma province natale.

François RD @frankinto.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

Totalement dégoûté par cette atteinte aux droits de la personne. Cela dit en tant qu'athée.

People with phones were a plague even in 2011, when I last visited the Louvre. I wish they would ban photography altogether.

I'm a member of the NDP but people elect a person, not a party. However disappointing this may be, it's 100% legitimate, and claiming otherwise is taking liberties with the truth. I expect that from the CPC, not the NDP.

Pitié, cessez de dire clause grand-père, c'est un anglicisme gros comme le bras!

C'est simple, portez un N95. Aucune infection virale en quatre ans dans mon cas. Ça vous gêne? Eh bien, soyez malade alors. Et transmettez la grippe et la COVID à des personnes vulnérables qui en mourront. Tant que ce n'est pas vous, ce n'est pas grave, n'est-ce pas?

000

François RD @frankinto.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

I'm one of those, trying to protect my vulnerable spouse. We haven't had any viral infection in years. The year before COVID, I had bronchitis, and the year before I had pneumonia. I enjoy not being ill. Weird isn't it?

Le Québec doit créer un ordre des enseignants pour régir la profession selon des critères établis par la loi et des normes d'exercice et de déontologie, comme en Ontario. Ces enseignants auraient déjà été sanctionnés sans intervention politique.

Déjà vous dites prêt-subvention dans l'article, alors pourquoi ce "pardonnable", calque évident de "forgiveable"?

François RD @frankinto.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

We never did that in Québec (except in winter of course). I wouldn't dream of asking people to remove their shoes. Just to point out that Canadians aren't all the same.

I've always been against having representatives of a foreign country screening us here. Get rid of pre-clearance already.

He's won't talk to cabinet after all according to the CBC, but inviting him was outrageous and unacceptable. I voted for Carney enthusiastically and for a while now, I have been feeling like a complete idiot.

I'm sure talking to Joseph Goebbels to better understand Hitler would have prevented all that unpleasantness.

Le nombre de commanditaires de la Fierté n'est pas un indicateur fiable. J'habite à Toronto depuis près de 38 ans et le Québec est le seul endroit où j'ai été harcelé parce que je suis gai. Ne vous pétez pas trop les bretelles.

I usually go to bed early and I literally always think about that song when the clock says 21:12

Le virus lui-même peut causer ça, mais parlons de charge mentale.

Fascinant. J'habite dans un immeuble de 800 appartements au centre-ville de Toronto. Il a été construit il y a 50 ans et les trois chambres sont à plus de 8000 $ par mois. Ce genre d'immeubles, on en a à la tonne. Et non, ça ne réglera pas la crise du logement.

Anyone who collaborates with this administration is garbage by definition, including the ambassador.

My confidence in him plummeted earlier today.

I've given Carney the benefit of the doubt but there's just too many questionable decisions. Cancelled my membership in the party this morning.

Really not a good idea to cave in to an irrational bully. This is not what Canadians expect. If this ends up being a sellout just to reach an agreement that Trump might throw in the shredder soon thereafter, you will lose the support of Canadians.

Well, once I ordered a spaghetti squash but I got a canary melon.

I voted Liberal with the assumption that we would decouple from the US as much as possible. I'm totally opposed to this.

My husband is elderly and gets one every six months. We both still wear N95s indoors in public. I enjoy not being ill!

François RD @frankinto.bsky.social · 21/04/2025

This is ridiculous. I'm Canadian and I used to spend almost half of my time in the US while my spouse was navigating Canadian immigration. But I wouldn't have wanted to live there permanently in a million years, and I assume I don't have to explain why at this point.

François RD @frankinto.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

My husband is a dual citizen and feels it is unsafe for him to travel to the US. As for me, I'm done. For years I spent half of my time there and I even had a Nexus card. Never crossing the border again.

François RD @frankinto.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

I loved San Francisco. I also loved Miami, Chicago, and NYC of course. I found love in Pittsburgh, and my husband is now a Canadian citizen. But I will never, ever set foot in the US again.

Il n'y a pas d'espace de négociation avec un président qui vient de déchirer l'accord de libre-échange avec le Canada et le Mexique qu'il a lui-même négocié. La seule solution est de lui tenir tête coûte que coûte.

My husband had shingles at 53, the year Zostavax came out. He had an itchy/painful spot behind his ear while traveling. As soon as I saw it, I took him to the hospital. He got antivirals and soon recovered. When I reached 53 myself, I requested the vaccine here in Canada, then Shingrix a year later.

I was in the same situation. I was advised to just get the second shot and not restart the series.

We also say "heart insufficiency" in French.

"Escalating?" Are we just supposed to roll over and play dead? Our friendship is over, Americans.

The cluelessness and lack of judgement are off the scale. In no universe is this acceptable.
