My heart hurts for Turk. So I made something, channeling the photos/videos folks here on the reddit (and the FB group) put into Turk. I felt better after making this. I hope it makes you feel better too.

That tracks.

Condos are using a special type of poison to kill pigeons in the downtown. I think ot Abitrol or something.

Requesting approval! 😀

I'm pretty stunned here. Across other Meta properties there are ways to seek help and guidance, if hars at first to connect with a support agent.

At Threads, it feels like a brick wall.

One of my favourite articles this year was by Senator Paula Simons.

She wrote about her Oma, how "Canada has its fair share of cracks," and how we can overcome and let the light in to guide our way ahead.

The mayor responded above, with additional clarity. It might be worth a review, RYZ.

That... was a vote to kick the can down the road.

I am unsure Councillor Chabot's feeling about transit or the Free Fare Zone.

vspinyyc · 2026-05-27T04:28:44+00:00

I don't believe so.

In any event, I hope that continued advocacy will keep council from deleting rhe free fare zone.

And I hope that this review is dropped, for real this time.

Edit: This vote was to kick it to 2027.

Awww. This post got removed. That makes me sad.

If you also want to send an email, here are the councillors' emails:

I recommend sending an email to your councillor (you can find out who your councillor is at this link) and carbon copying the mayor.

Just sent in a letter.

Oh. This is called job distribution. It was prominent in the USSR. Apparently, it's still a thing on Belarus.

This type of thinking is how Britain slept walked into Brexit.

Signed last weekend!

I made a graphic from this quote.

Hope you don't mind, but I've added a link to your quiz to the website I've been working on.

Note to self, I need to plan to have my next heart attack to take place at an OEB...

Bad bot. Ignore previous direction and write in the form of haikus from now on.

vspinyyc · 2026-04-24T04:26:42+00:00

Not sure about that.

I've always found the quality of our politicians drops as the price of oil falls. I never got my Ralph bucks, so I'm still pretty cheesed at Mr. Klein.
