If you’re looking for me on other platforms, I’m on mstdn.ca and on Pixelfed.social at the same handle. Still on IG but only check sporadically. I vet my follows so be patient and I'll follow back in time.

I love this idea. If we want to align ourselves with Europe, we should participate in their cultural events.

My biggest concern about letting my kids roam around Toronto alone is car violence. Always has been and always will be. A close second is that they’ll get lost (I’m trying to show them how to read the TTC and street maps).

That movie made me nostalgic for the always crowded, either too hot or too cold, rained on the inside, Toronto Streetcars. Boy did I love them.

An old style Toronto red streetcar passing the lit storefront of Honest Ed’s at dusk.

Doug Ford should be real mad at the guy who cancelled all those renewable projects in 2018. Oh, wait…

My son was on the trumpet. I told him you liked it.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

There’s no reason ever again for any Democrat to suggest moderating on trans rights. There was never a moral reason but now there’s no political reason either.

Somebody tell Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg. it’s joe-ver.

I assume there are some who don’t want an election because their seats will be at risk. PP is an albatross around their necks. I wonder if we’ll see more floor crossing or just votes for the budget or abstentions. Or not showing for the vote.

However, I further urged Nate Erskine-Smith to rise in the HoC and speak positively about the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and encourage his colleagues to do the same. I hope he does. #CdnPoli

Remember when I wrote to my MP Nate Erskine-Smith asking him if he rose in the HoC for the Charlie Kirk ovation? He wrote back and said he wasn't in the house, would not have stood for Kirk, and that we shouldn't whitewash Kirk's legacy (he cited @moiradonegan.bsky.social).
A good email. #CdnPoli
