kmatthews.bsky.social @kmatthews.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I am watching tonight’s mayoral debate and I’m just livid at the cluelessness of a couple of these candidates. And yes I’m yelling at the tv. Sigh. 010

But I think it's time. I loved my Waterloo hairdresser, but I don't want to do that drive. I'd love some recommendations for Guelph. 210
