Why aren’t we using a more secure community platform, then Discord? Because there aren’t any like this. It’s impossible to compete with American tech behemoths… and American companies own most of the cloud computing anyway... 1/x

2 (maybe 3?) years after WestJet tried to charge us extra for accessible airport transfer included in our package, this time @aircanada.bsky.social vacations has done it. I’m so disappointed, youve made such progress on accessibility since those bad old days of in 2022. Say it ain’t so.

Describing statistics like this drives me crazy. Wouldn’t expect it from @reuters.com but here we are. Why is that BUT there? 1 in 5 is 20%. These are not contradictory statistics - why are they described as if they are? 20% is less than 29% last I checked.

Today in orange cat tales:
I am beginning to think that Otis is addicted to our gas fireplace. He has started waking me up at 4 AM with no problem other than the fire place has gone out. This afternoon he came into my office yowling the house down. Sure enough the fire was off again.

We get that your boss gave you the copy, Lance, but why quote the first line instructions in the sign. (If you did, why not quote ALL of the instructions?!!) #grammar #punctuation #handwashing #hospital

The more US healthcare workers I talk to the more I feel that we 🇨🇦 must urgently ensure we are not relying on governance norms (not laws) as guardrails. Even mostly normal politicians in Canada can't be trusted with the power of the Notwithstanding Clause, and then there's Danielle Smith.

I propose a new version of murphy’s law that me and my #disabled friends can really relate to, let’s call it Gimpy’s law: as soon as you’ve seen the specialist, you waited months to see you will develop a new troubling symptom that you should tell them about the very next day.

Thanks @bcgeu.bsky.social for all you do in the public service and also to one of you who helped scoop me back up and into my wheelchair when I bit it right in front of your picket line at Canada Place today. I barely even had a chance to see who it was. ❤️ #solidarity #kindness

@carnivalcruise.bsky.social so far your accessible stateroom on #carnivalencounter has been great but do you see any issues with putting life jackets on the highest shelf in the wheelchair accessible stateroom? 🤔🧐

The OO leader has no reason to have an official residence, esp if their riding is Ottawa. The PM & GG have diplomatic roles & thus need official residences to host. Stornoway should become the PM residence henceforth & Sussex Drive should be renovated as guesthouse & OO can get a housing allowance.

Way to go @permobilamericas.bsky.social for the worst product recall on the SmartDrive SpeedController. The "field action portal" (form) requires a US Zip code. The toll free line is only for US customers. Permobil Canada doesn't deal with customers. My vendor hadn't heard of the recall!
