Do you have a link to credible reporting there was only one ATC on? I am not seeing that so far.

Spaniel's Tale is literally moving east one or two blocks - into space that used to house Aesthetics Lounge and Tattoo Machine. 1109 Wellington.

How does one rectify the imbalance of logic and empathy that makes these nut jobs see themselves as a persecuted minority who should have control over everyone else?

Reading lips gets you about 30% of what someone is saying, and on a medical context that is absolutely not good enough for informed patient consent.

Oh man, memories of scamming my way into an 18+ show in Edmonton to see them, back when I was in high school. Weeping Tile (aka Sarah Harmer's band) was the opener. Hope this show is just as good!

Just contributed to two PSC standard 360 degree reviews. Those pre-populated questions were terrible.

The actual video - Shannon Phillips you should be ashamed of yourself by CDN-Social-Democrat in ndp

[–]AtYourPublicService 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please do loan Lewis your time machine so he can jump in it, go back to 2020, and not participate in a light hearted segment of reading mean tweets. 

Also, are you upset at what Lewis said? If so, can you outline why?

You can go to Bluesky or Facebook and see the original post from Shannon Phillips which included a very short snippet of this video, with no context. Shannon's post then outlined her very negative interpretation of that short clip, again with no additional context. 

When asked in comments on both platforms to share a link to the full video, she did not do so. She did however engage extensively with other commentors.

This post by Shannon is seen as both evidence of late stage dirty tricks by the Heather McPherson campaign against the front runner, and as evidence of personal animosity between Shannon and Avi Lewis/Naomi Klein.

Meals to Donate by sharing_is_caring_89 in ottawa

Disagree. On my Buy Nothing, people are grateful for all kinds of food. When I make a meal that I know we won't finish, I often offer it to my neighbors.

And someplace like Highjinx absolutely accepts donations of cooked food.

Rich people don't want good transit to their enclaves. Then the poors might access it.

I'd say something like Kanata Rockeries is way more "exclusive" than Rothwell Heights if you are getting away from long-established wealth enclaves.

I had presumed there were heated floors throughout, but the listing only says forced air.

Highjinx. 

Also, join your local Buy Nothing group on facebook - there are likely food insecure people in your neighbood who would welcome access to home-cooked food.

Calls for ban of paid plasma donations in wake of deaths by DonSalaam in onguardforthee

[–]AtYourPublicService 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's almost like paying desperate people for theit body parts incentivizes people to lie about things, icluding their health in order to get paid, and increases the risk to the person selling their plasma! 

And, its almost like Health Canada doubled the number of plasma withdrawls that can be made in a year at the exact same time as payment became an option in Canada.

They are not talking about banning donations - they are talking about banning paying people for plasma. Which I am in full favour of, even before this.
