I’m hung over after last night’s tragic Blue Jays loss, but I just voted!

Our city is at stake. Please make the time to get out and vote.

If you want my two cents, it’s anyone but Soraya. Her policies will make life so much harder for renters and young people in the city.

I just got a very skewed anti-union push poll from @pallasdata.bsky.social which stated it was conducted on behalf of the DGCPQ.

One question about provincial voting intentions, then maybe ten push questions designed to undermine support for union rights in Quebec.
