I’m atching seasons 1-4 of #StrangerThings with my teen (he’s already seen them all) in anticipation of season 5; OMG so weird, gory and gross.. I’m not really into season 3. It totally looked like a kid show but it is so not - it gets worse with each season?

I am once again reminding everyone of my very good idea to send the mistreated animals at MarineLand to sanctuaries and let Therme set up their silly spa on the site that already has water, power lines AND parking!
Ford's reason for seizing control of Exhibition Place makes no sense.
He says it's to access water & power lines for the Therme spa.
But the water company doesn't take ownership of your property when it needs to access pipes on your land.

This should be illegal. If they want Canadian funds, they should be forced to play by Canadian rules.
So fucking sick of Alberta’s shit and they can’t keep getting away with this when elections are two years off.
