Do my best to be hopeful, positive and bring joy and awesomeness to every moment. In the words of Ted Lasso, it’s never wrong to do the right thing, and be curious, not judgemental. Go Raptors!

Get over the bumps. For roundabouts, people will lose their houses and businesses as the govt will need land to put these in. So I will have to request that these roundabouts are put in their ridings….hopefully on their front lawn. Let’s see how they like that.

Well speed bumps and roundabouts are supposed to replace them. So I wonder if these 30 guys will complain when they bottom out their cars when driving at high rates of speed, over the speed bumps, or complain that they are 39 minutes late for work every day because they have to slow down to 1/

Hey Alberta, you’d better book your 2026-7 shots now. Danielle is making you pre-order them.

Yikes. Not good if you are a procrastinator. You have to pre-order flu and covid shots in Alberta for 2026-7. What is Danielle doing to you all?

I'm reposting this daily to inform you that you only have until December 15, 2025 to order your #COVID #Flu shots for NEXT year - 2026-2027.

David Keegan @drdavidkeegan.bsky.social · 1d

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them.

This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people ..

Do we really want people repping us, who think they are above the law? This doesn’t affect their insurance or license. They can pay online and be done with it. Nope, the message is: speed doesn’t kill, getting anywhere and everywhere at any speed you want is more important than saving lives.

FUN FACT for Ontario Voters: Did you know that 30 CON MPPs got speeding tickets (caught on camera in TO) from speeding cameras? Pretty sure that’s why Ford is cutting the cameras. Because 30 well-paid CON Reps who CAN afford to pay the ticket because they broke the law are pissed off about it. 1/

Dear Ontarians: Please see below; it’s important. Doug Ford goes “back to work” tomorrow and on day one is going to face questions on trades funding and auditor general report (it’s not pretty) and the speed cameras. #FordMustGo #FordIsNOTCaptainCanada

PSA: in other words, learn from my mistakes.

I had a power bank I had purchased so I could recharge my laptop during power outages. It only worked for a couple of years so I had it in a bag of items to take to household hazardous waste for recycling. And forgot it existed.

You know, Canada Post may be looking for some new executives soon. Maybe you can consult with them on the work smarter part. LOL

They need a new executive and possibly a new union…. But you hit the nail on the head.

Phone, find a charger and reread the texts that their special someone from their teenage years sent? You know the LOL, little emojis…. Writing letters is a lost art. There is a special effort put into the task as well. But we must adapt…

It’s funny you say this (I agree). We are cleaning out a home office that has tons of relics in it. I have letters from friends I met while travelling, letters from old boyfriends… we got quite a chuckle out of them rereading them. The kids today, are they going to pull out their old cell 1/

I agree with you. Many people here are like: “I don’t use mail; we don’t need it.” Some people still do. Yes, it must change, but it could become a niche market, like radio. Radio still exists, but a lot of people don’t listen to it. And online billing is great for lots of people, but unless you 1/

Note to Ontarians: Enbridge was put in charge of distribution of gas in ON…. Keep an eye on your bills and see how often it increases. #SayNoToPrivatization #FordFailed

These profits are on top of the premiums they charge for all their services.

In reality your bills are TWICE as high they would be if Energy were Nationalised.

So I found out Quebec split the suppliers for the free vaccine for eligible population and the ones meant to be paid for. The identical vaccine— two suppliers to pharmacies. Why were two contracts awarded for the same thing? One for the free, one for the charge.

Billionaires should pay their fair share; they use taxpayer services like everyone else, yet lots of them hide money to avoid taxes…. They should at least invest in their workers, but often it’s only the shareholders they care about.

BladeoftheSun @bladeofthes.bsky.social · 2h

Tax the billionaires until they are forced to rent their accomodation. Nearly 40% of people do

Tax the billionaires until they are force to use Food Banks. 15% of people have to

Tax the billionaires until they have to work a no contract minimum wage job. Like 12% of workers do

Happy no kings day to those who observe. Be safe. You are on the right side and we love you.

And happy no tyrants day to my Canadian friends 🥳

(Because we actually have a king, he's fairly harmless, mostly ceremonial. Lots of people don't like him, but he's not a tyrant)
