@brian_gettler I agree on all points. This Ford government is a wrecking ball to all the programs that people value. Somehow they keep getting away with it.

@brian_gettler It feels a lot like a tree-cutting issue to me.
City councils can get tied up for hours on whether to cut a tree. Everyone understands what cutting a tree means, and some will be passionate about a particular one.
But a complex policy matter may sail through as it's hard for most to grasp.
I understand (and am mad about) mandatory attendance. But the consequences of what they're doing to trustees, funding and oversight? I suspect the latter will affect kids much more.

@cargot_robbie I did the survey and the petition! I was really struck by how nice the pedestrianised stretches of Montreal were, when I visited last summer.

@chu That's one thing I love about going out on the tandem with my son. Kids on the sidewalk start tugging on the sleeve of their adult saying "look, look!"

Bar graph titled "Numbers of families in Canada with 3 or more children"
Date range shown is from year 2000 to 2023.
In 2000, there were about 950,000 3-child families. Now there are about 1.2 million.
The growth has been primarily in couple families; one parent families of 3 kids has stayed close to constant.
There's a discontinuity in 2005, where the number drops. But then continues growing each year thereafter.

Someone is going around painting St George's cross in my Toronto neighbourhood. Often covering up "free Palestine" messages.
Seems like an ugly white supremacist call to me.

Did you know 90% of leafy greens in Canada are imported -- and most of that from California?
A great way to support local farmers, get high quality fresh local food, and reduce the distance your food travels is to buy a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share for the season.
I've been doing it for over 15 years. I love how it keeps me grounded in the seasons.
Good list of Toronto CSA locations here:

@deborahh Funny. I always just use Beck if I'm downtown and Able Atlantic if I'm in the east end. I guess those are the only places I use taxis. I'm not one to pick up the phone much, but I like being able to talk to a an actual dispatch person.
