People are extra agitated today at the local Home Depot. Christ , if you're this shitty while buying perennials & petunias on sunny day, I'd hate to see you on rainy day, paying your taxes.

'A strong woman who never gave up': East Toronto neighbourhood shaken by death of unhoused resident People in Toronto’s east end are shaken after a well-known unhoused woman from the community reportedly died over the weekend.

See, #Canadian news buries the ugly stories about who #canadians really are under "local" tabs. People knew and liked this woman. They still let here freeze to death. Some "safety net". Scumbags.

How the 15-minute city idea became a misinformation-fuelled fight that’s rattling GTA councils The idea of making cities walkable and livable has helped fuel a conspiracy theory that is throwing local meetings into chaos — and is already changing the way councils work.
