If you're asking whether that is heated, no it absolutely is not

Is Kitchener doing a better job clearing paths than Waterloo or is it just me?

When I started @mplscargobikelibrary.com last year I knew our bikes could be used to help our community.

I had NO idea they'd be helping neighbors in such dire circumstances.

ICE out, bikes in.
"We're struck by the consistent overlap between folks organizing bike buses, neighborhood rides, and bike rodeos - and those who organize in times of need."

Honestly IMHO we should go to a proof of payment system and not have to as much scanning

It's curious that paying with your watch has been a thing for over a decade, but when I do it I still get comments as if it's novel. Maybe in a world of "what if phones, but too much", a phone is a sufficiently convenient digital wallet for most people

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people β€” never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners β€” are now dead.

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.

We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.

Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where future is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, 'Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him.' Man bursts into tears. Says, 'But doctor… the show is sold out.'

Hey, #WaterlooRegion engaged citizens, internet friendlies who are developing civic.band - check it out - have got it cataloguing most of our Waterloo Region public meeting info.

Apparently @cityofwaterloo.bsky.social is a bit obnoxious and refuses to play to standards, others are there.

Trump’s America (Stephen Miller’s America), with regime goons disappearing ethnic minorities who have the temerity to be out in public
I arrived too late to an abduction yesterday. Ice vehicles boxed in a food delivery driver on the highway. They took him, and when I came on the scene (with a few other neighbors in cars), his keys were still in it. We found his phone, a debit card, his car title and registration.

Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."
