This book tells the past but I’m hoping it’s a view to the future.
The story of an overly confident govt calling an early election only it doesn’t turn out the way they had hoped.
Tks to @colindmello.bsky.social for suggesting it!

Ford and Downey’s bail proposal gives freedom to the rich and cages the poor
Their soundbite-driven policy is a mask to hide their failures to ensure community safety

I REMEMBER.
In 1981, nearly 100% of people with AIDS died, often rapidly.
I remember weeping.
I remember Ronald Reagan's refusal to say "AIDS".
I remember the brave patients, loving caregivers, and the defiant power of ACT-UP.
And finally the miracle of modern therapy.
Rise up for World AIDS day.

I heard if you leave a cheque for $100 for Doug Ford's campaign fund under your pillow when you go to bed, when you wake up there'll be a Skills Development grant for a million dollars there.
