I hate that we’re demoing half built housing in a housing crisis over something that isn’t a safety concern. It really sucks for the tenants who are waiting to move in! (And for the people who live next to this site that will now continue to be a demo/construction site too)

I love what you've been doing with rounds!

A snow-covered street with a partially visible metal grate for drainage, surrounded by melting snow.

Slightly warmer temperatures are expected this weekend! 🌡
As the snow melts, please take a moment to clear catch basins and storm drains near your property so melting snow can drain properly.

4. Spend at least $30/day/person on AI usage tokens.
5. Administer costly layoffs.

The cost of lunch fallacy:

‘Fantastic news’: Ford welcomes ICE plan to order Ontario armoured vehicles | Globalnews.ca Reports emerged this week of U.S. government procurement plans to order 20 Senator vehicles for its ICE officers, a move worth roughly $10 million.

Canadian hubris is consistently claiming the moral high ground while proudly arming a fascist state against its own citizens, the same one that threatened to invade us less than 1 year ago.

I have never been more enraged.
