I actually find them both handsome…but also maybe both should be handy

A government hell bent on funding private education and defunding public education will always find a way

My problem here is, as I said before, is that we could end this transparent direction funding and replace it with a non transparent tax credit like Ontario did it did in its 2019 budget

I mean Dani like all conservatives before here has shown her preference for non public education but what if we, the public, say fuck that

I’d like to think my amazing husband is unique…and he apparently is. I weep for humanity because he should not be unique

Having a moment while loving my hubby who continues to support me despite my latest health issues

Studies show men leave sick wives at a higher rate than wives leave sick husbands, with one older study finding a 20.8% separation rate for sick women compared to 2.9% for sick men.

That’s okay. We Canadians can always do this conversion for you. 😉

Probably not. 103.9 a litre with all our taxes is almost like giving fuel away up here these days

Dr Lindsay Tedds @lindsaytedds.bsky.social · 4d

Just a reminder that while as a consumer that is great, because Dani went on a post election spending spree we now need WTI to trade in the high $70s to balance the budget so the per litre is not good for our government bottom line…that has plenty of tax room to make up the difference but …you know

Given hubby’s work schedule it was also the only day it was convenient for him to vote. As I reminded him which ward we live in and why he might want to vote for or against certain candidates. And yes we vote public school trustees and what one candidate there is particularly concerning
