@CultMTL If the #banksylandToronto experience is any indication #LumioStudios can't run such a popular attraction. Cancellations, no info, no socials w/updates. Show up; go home; come back; go home; Repeat. #saveyourmoney #waitedfornothing #tryingforrefund #disappointed

[Dorothy Birtalan @Birtalan]

@nowtoronto Disaster. The promoters couldn't honour the Friday tix, postponing the timed-ticket opening by 3hrs...and then cancelling. "Come back tomorrow..." And imagine a full day's worth of people joining another full day's worth of people... madness #Banksyland #Toronto #banksy

[Dorothy Birtalan @Birtalan]

Once again... *sigh* @TIFF_NET sent an access code for today to buy tix. "Access Denied" - despite using their email link, refreshing, going to their website and logging in... #frustrating

@TheCurrentCBC Just listening to CdnTaxFed rep...and thought: am I listening to an ep of @CBCThisIsThat ? Thanks Katherine for repeatedly "clarifying" his assertions. #whew

[Dorothy Birtalan @Birtalan]

re @HunterDouglas gtee: worthless if custService is lousy. "3 days" repair - still tracking it 6 weeks later. "Will call/email" never does, no followup. Prev poor repair requires redo, again. 😠Major decline in quality. Will never buy again.

[Dorothy Birtalan @Birtalan]

@CBCOntarioToday Disappointed @BruceSellery: supply is not the issue. The sr who called had supply, couldnt afford 45%incr. 1000s of listings, at $2500-3k/mo. AFFORDABLE housing is the issue. Cap rents/rental profits. Halt renovictions. #wehavesupply

[Dorothy Birtalan @Birtalan]

@CBCOntarioToday Imagine: a landlord that refuses to fund any repairs to your building, then renovicts you because it is rundown. That's Ontario Place. DF says it sat empty for 12yrs... where was the landlord?!? #mendacity #misdirection

Torontonians are telling me loud and clear that they want the Science Centre to stay where it is.

It’s a source of community pride, of local jobs, of educational opportunities.

Please read my open letter to Premier Ford:

@CBCOntarioToday The system is also failing adults with autism - they are invisible. Where do they think the spectrum of (un)diagnosed children go? "Age out?" #wearehere #thestruggleisreal

"I have repeatedly expressed concerns about the human rights implications of these policy decisions: that the removal of mask mandates has a disproportionate impact on marginalized people, seniors, and those who are clinically extremely vulnerable."

@BCFerries I tried using your DM button. Didn't work.

[Dorothy Birtalan @Birtalan]

@BCFerries: Good Morning! I have been booking my upcoming BC visit ferry reservations...but this morning, I suddenly can't log in? Is there a local server issue? Power issue? #FAQ #Alert #Update Thanks!

@CBCOntarioToday Can your guest Jeffrey Puncher comment on Flow's use with autistic people, to quell anxiety, develop coping strategies? Thx
