One of the first things I do when visiting any city, in any part of the world; is to hop on public transit. Best way to see the layout of the city: the people, the shops, restaurants, sights, musuems, etc.

If you're driving, your world view is limited to what you see through the windshield.

"Woke" is one of those terms co-opted & weaponized by the Right, without understanding it makes them look both stupid and hilarious.

Last I checked, 'woke' is just a bastardization of "awake"— as in you're aware of problems & issues others are ignorant of (or have chosen to ignore)

By a quirky twist of fate, we ended up in Oakridge. Some say it's the "wonderbread" epicentre of London, ON; but with anchor stores such as Remark, Superstore, & major arteries w access to public transit servicing downtown & places beyond, it's not a bad place to live (& Sifton Bog is a plus🍃)

Have you seen this?

*pfft*Why is this even a thing in CDN politics?
#Canada should do away with any-and-all monarchist ties, (AND the general governorship as well, while we're at it). Get RID of this antiquated & unnecessary level of bureaucracy.
