I don't think most Canadians are aware PostMedia is owned by US media conglomerate Chatham Asset Mgmt & Trump-friendly. Their journalists gaslight us & promote #Conservative politicians. It is an attack on our 🇨🇦 #democracy. #Cdnpoli #bcpoli #abpoli #Cdnmedia #NeverVoteConservative #CanadaSky

Lovely cycling commute today. Toronto is bursting with colours

After 3 years, and moving house, I'm finally getting around to fixing my XBox.

The best combination for getting to and around #Brampton. :) #BikeBrampton

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

Throwback to October 2014. #brampoli

Voted. #NorthBayPoli

I might be more impressed with the new Roadster if Musk wasn't a democracy-damaging Nazi that reneged on his own bet to solve world hunger to instead donate it to himself.

Please remember these moments when we hear authorities preaching road safety to our kids or thoughts and prayers to those families who have lost someone to road violence.

Toronto is not having it.

I've decided to throw my name in for a citizen appointment again, with the #NorthBay Public Library Board. Wish me luck!

We need to ban data centers.

If anyone was skeptical, "Musk disables Ukraine's Starlink terminals during a major Russian attack" is a pretty strong argument to get US oligarch tech out of our governments (and out of everywhere else.)

Regarding the narrative of "culture" as an argument for return to office. When I woke up my kids this morning to get them ready for school, they greeted me with a joyful giggle. Nobody at the office greets me with a joyful giggle. WHERE IS MY JOYFUL GIGGLE? #RemoteWork #WorkFromHome

I'm going to start doing something that I used to do in #Brampton: Use a web site change detection service to tell me when new council meeting agendas and minutes are published. I'm also going to try to pay more attention to the #NorthBay YouTube channel to watch council meetings.

I've ordered my first set of tires from #Costco. Let's see how it goes! #WinterTires

Is the story of Captain America basically a gender-affirming heroes journey?

Yes. Especially during election time. And tonight, at 7:30pm, I've decided I'm going to bed early.

You guys ever think about how unrelentingly stupid everything is all the time

Canada is refusing to issue ISBNs to books primarily generated with AI. This illustrates both the urgency of the problem of the growing flood of slop books, and also the toothlessness of addressing it on the honor system without there also being consequences for lying

The House of Commons is debating the price of food, which is a bit weird because eliminating the carbon tax was supposed to solve that problem.

Wow. A #NorthBay mayoral candidate actually said "God will get you". *LOL* M'kay. For the record, I was not involved in that exchange. Everyone knows I'm a fucking angel.

It's a special kind of disheartening to read certain policy ideas you kind of find interesting, followed by "removing flouride" and "God fearing". - BOOOOOO!

Alrighty. Finally setting aside some time to research candidates for the next election. #NorthBayVotes
