Thinking of how the single-family homesteading dream is a holdover from colonialism when land was stolen from indigenous ppl and given to poor white settlers to de-forest and how we should stop idealizing it and dream of cooperative farming and community forest gardens instead.

Most have forgotten their original role was to service communities. Now they mainly seek money, power, and control and protection of their money, power, and control.

People who weren’t raised in a community oriented culture will have great difficulty being community oriented and will repeatedly revert to individualism & situational sociopathy. The number one reason well-intentioned community projects, communes, and movements fail so hard IMO.

Unseasonably warm temperatures in the Maritimes could make this year’s tick season one of the worst, according to one Mount Allison University researcher. https://t.co/xy2gssuydY

So let me get this straight: Instead of using our tax dollars to address Ontario's healthcare crisis (eg health worker shortages, ER closures & wait times)...the Ontario government is using our tax dollars to appeal the court decision that struck down Bill 124?

Truly shameful.

This guy was ACTUALLY BUSTED cheating by Elections Canada, and forced to sign a compliance agreement. The only MP to do so.

Thanks @kesharose for spending 328 minutes with me in 2022. I couldn’t stop listening to Woman (feat. The Dap-Kings Horns). #SpotifyWrapped https://t.co/HZthVFrGB8

At the RCMP when you successfully complete the Cadet Training Program and have been offered employment, you will be hired as a Constable at an annual salary of $65,776. Usually, within 36 months of service, your annual salary will have increased incrementally to $106,576

Starting salary for a teacher is $50k - $58k. For a cop? $90k. Most of those cops, until recently, required little to no post-secondary education.

I'm a teacher. I don't go to work "for the kids."

The CEO of Loblaw would not accept a pay cut every year "for the customers."

The contractor who put my flooring in last year didn't do it for free "for the homeowner."

Teaching is a fucking job. Remember that. #OntEd #OnPoli

Damn. The missing Yellow truck was a fixture and his Onion ring Poutine wb missed.

[Mayfair Theatre @mayfairtheatre]

The lack of a chip truck across the street makes for a strange view from the box office.
I can't remember a time when it wasn't parked over there.
I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that it was there when I started hanging out in this neighbourhood back in 1989.

[Rae @Soire]

@mayfairtheatre :o Wow! I hope he and his family are well :( We have had birthday dinners here for years!

"If you're high risk, you may want to mask up indoors"

In this era, we're all high risk now. We could all be one Covid reinfection away from longterm disability, organ damage and immune dysfunction

[Covid19 @friendlycovid19]

Shoutout to all the humans who honestly believe it’s a year or two of skipping the flu causing kids to get extra sick this winter and not all the damage I’ve done to everyone’s immune systems. I love you all, but sometimes your capacity for denial blows even me away. 🦠 ❤️

[tdh @FireEyes66]

@roxiqt I love how people get so freaked out when they think someone is sick and wearing a good mask, but not freaked out by the absolute certainty that they are often around sick people without a mask
