Tonight all the pages for Toby's future were ripped out of our family book. He passed away at 10:03pm of liver cancer. This is the most painful experience of my life. We love you Toby and are already missing you. @kemosite

"Wear a foam hat because people drive like shit" isn't the pro-bike helmet argument you think it is. It's actually an indictment on #CarCulture and what happens when you normalize systemic traffic violence to the point victims are automatically blamed for their own deaths.

This money could have made schools safer for our children & prevented a lot of suffering (and deaths).
Just. Sickening.
So... the Ontario PCs are getting sneakier when it comes to Doug Ford attending fundraisers.
Tomorrow Ford's going to a $1,000-ticket event — but the advertisement doesn't say he will be there, only the URL does.
@AuthorNico Can't win. Not British if you leave Britain & I'm only Cdn if I agree with CPC. As soon as I disagree, I'm not a 'real' Cdn, I'm an immigrant.
