I just watched The Dead Zone. Great movie, but the ending just isn't believable. There's no way using a baby as a shield would damage a political career on the right.

Anyone in Jon Burnside's Ward. There's a meeting about a bike lane. At the last town hall of his I went to, the nimby's were out in force, ranting against bike lanes and sidewalks. So, any help from decent people is appreciated.

ATTN FELLOW CANADIANS:

An actual MP has created a petition to stop financial discrimination against adult creators by payment processors. You have to confirm your email but thats because its something that can actually be shown to parliament.

The same police who refused to help insist you should call them instead of taking action yourself. They claim they would have done their jobs if the serial numbers were recorded. Yeah right.
