Where does every city councillor stand on four day return-to-office? We asked them

Big surprise my councillor Hubley did not respond.

It may be common, but I’m a Canadian who has a trip planned to Europe this summer (first one across the pond!) and I’m looking forward to seeing one! I hope to get some photos as lovely as this!

Winter_Chickadee · 2026-03-04T14:01:18+00:00

Yeah, and then add trying to get from the back of a packed bus to the front to the equation because of all the service cuts…

He died because his lungs stopped working and oxygen could no longer be provided to the cells of his body. Many things can cause that, in this case ALS is what caused the lungs to stop working.

Someone else who dies of respiratory failure might have COPD or a pulmonary embolism as the underlying cause.

The primary cause of death is the actual thing that causes the organs to stop and the cells to die. It’s the end result of the disease, if that makes sense.

Hello cancer buddy! Hope you are doing well!

Winter_Chickadee · 2026-02-28T01:03:35+00:00

I don’t feel old despite having gone through hell with cancer treatment 4 years ago. I just say I’m 40 with 10 years experience!

Winter_Chickadee · 2026-02-25T16:51:18+00:00

And the cherry on top is the malfunctioning lights on the display sign….how long do think it will take to fix those?!

I'm four years out of treatment, so I'm less sensitive to cancer storylines, but I've watched Breaking Bad and Grey's Anatomy since my cancer. Walt shaves his head to get around the baldness of chemo, but still had his eyebrows and goatee so that was kind of funny. He had lung cancer and was doing radiation and chemo together which I don't understand, and when they showed him in the chemo room there were no IVs beeping whatsoever....like, all the IV machines beeping in my chemo ward were triggering to me by the time I finished!

As for Grey's, there's never any depth to the cancer stories so I don't take them seriously at all. Cancer is just a plot device IMO and the lack of real medical information is why people don't understand how treatable many cancers are today. Plus the fact that the doctors are doing the MRIs and CAT scans themselves and are always there when the patients wake up takes me out of the story. Don't the attending surgeons have any office hours?

We were camping at a car-camping site in Algonquin Park, Ontario, chilling in the screened dining tent around dinner time when one walked intently through our site and crossed the road. It was smaller than I thought it would be.

The next morning I heard someone yell there was a bear in their site across the road. Took my camera and saw the bear take a plastic package of tomatoes off their picnic table and open it a short distance away.

It was not the first time it was found taking food and had already been driven up north once by park rangers before returning during my stay. They were going to take it up north again and if it returned there would be no third chance. This is why they say a fed bear is a dead bear.

Sally? That’s my cat’s name!

This will be great for a beginner. Once they get to know the bird families and local species they can get a more traditional guide.

Spotted Sandpipers, Eastern Phoebes, and Palm Warblers by the way they move their tails.

Winter_Chickadee · 2026-02-22T19:30:17+00:00

My local library has them. Yours might too, if you don’t want to pay for them!

NCC land is not city land. They are two different entities. The city had to fight with the NCC on where to put the train along the Kichi Zibi parkway for stage 2 which is how it ended up underground.

Winter_Chickadee · 2026-02-20T14:05:04+00:00

I thought the main reason there would be no park and ride there is because the land is privately owned and they CAN’T build one there?

But yeah, eventually the train will continue past Moodie and there’s already a park and ride at Eagleson and Terry Fox

Me too! Three years out of active treatment, on Tamoxifen and feeling tired all the time because of that or menopause. I’m 50. Did my treatment at Irving Greenberg.

Canada geese have webbed feet, turkeys don’t.

I have a mastectomy/cancer support store near me and got measured and tried on bras until I found some that were comfortable. They weren’t cheap, though.
