Which begs the question of the provenance and use of the Welland Canal.

The wildfires will end when there’s rain. This isn’t looking promising.

There are causal connections between 1) extraction and combustion of fossil fuels and atmospheric CO2, 2) CO2 levels and global heating, 3) global heating and wildfires, and 4) wildfires and dangerous #airquality So why are we poisoning ourselves, Carney, Ford and other pro pipeline premiers?

I think the British have conquered Bluesky. Also, congratulations to Hannah (the Plumber) Spencer for her win yesterday.

Across Canada, 48% of college and university students report struggling with the cost of tuition fees. That’s almost HALF of students. Federal student grants are on the chopping block. More cuts to student supports would be DEVASTATING. Student support should be increasing, not decreasing.

Bluesky tips needed. Is there a way to exclude trending categories you’re not interested in? I don’t care about the NFL, for instance. Is anything else trending?

I just bought this button. I have no recollection of any tourism campaign with this motto. Do you know what this logo is meant to look like? Whose campaign? When?

Campaign button with the text, “Ontario. We’ll make you feel Incredible.”

At the Sceptres game against the New York Sirens. Two national anthems. Brief respectful applause after the American one. Lusty singing during the Canadian. I cried. Do the other 18,000 folks at the scotiabank arena share my sense of defiant dread?

The Gov’t of Ontario has outsourced its responsibility for annual flu shots to private sector pharmacies, mostly SDM. I cannot book a vaccine without giving my personal information to PC Health, a second company. Is this info grab legal?
