Great read.

🚗 On one hand, the increasing hybridization and electrification of automobiles is a net positive.

🚗On the other hand, I drive an '07 Suzuki with manual transmission. I love my car and I will miss driving stick someday very soon.

Thank you to City residents who are checking on and helping their neighbours.

It’s remarkable how Peterborough comes together in difficult times.

Keep well clear of downed wires.

Please avoid travel - give first responders and public works time and space to respond safely.

@StewardsNotes @CityPtbo @PtboFedLiberals @PtboCounty You're welcome. It should not be this hard to reach a member of parliament's constituency staff!

[Bennison Smith @Bennison__Smith]

@StewardsNotes @CityPtbo @PtboFedLiberals @PtboCounty Have you tried phoning her Parliament Hill office to see if they can get you in touch with her constituency staff?

Sunday marks the 40th anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, establishing and protecting Canadians’ fundamental rights, including freedom of expression and the right to equality.

Happy 4⃣0⃣th @RightsOfCanada! 🎉🇨🇦🥳

@PtboExaminer Dave I have a feeling the Hip do not appreciate you appropriating the lyrics to their song after your party cut public funding to the arts in Ontario to the bone.

[Bennison Smith @Bennison__Smith]

Instead of investing in the success of new licensees (who just went through hell in a handbasket doing Zoom law school), the @LawSocietyLSO is bound and determined for failing to pass the bar to be the new normal. It boggles the mind. PLEASE DO BETTER.

[Bennison Smith @Bennison__Smith]

I failed the bar the first time around (2020). I know I was not the only one.

The @LawSocietyLSO already went out of its way to let licensees down by abruptly cancelling exams earlier this year. With this move, they are now actively undermining licensees' chances for success🧵

[Law Society of Ontario @LawSocietyLSO]

Update for the 2022-2023 licensing examinations cycle: licensing examinations for the 2022-2023 licensing cycle will take place in-person; online examinations will not be offered. Study materials and the competencies that will be examined remain unchanged.

[Bennison Smith @Bennison__Smith]

What purpose does this serve to anyone in the profession? A hazing ritual for entering the profession because "I had to write the bar exams back in my day and I suffered for it. So now you should too"?

[Julia Schabas @jayschabes]

The LSO clearly does not care about respecting students' long-planned summer plans, it does not care about the rights of disabled law students, and it does not care about students' right to rest before they embark on articling, arguably the toughest year in their careers. Shame.

[Ottawa Senators @Senators]

It is with great sadness that the family of Eugene Melnyk and the Ottawa Senators hockey organization announce his passing on March 28, 2022 after an illness he faced with determination and courage.
