Why (way) more people should vote in municipal elections #Canada
Despite municipal governments controlling things that affect residents’ everyday lives and generate plenty of heated debate, turnout in municipal elections can be far lower than provincial or federal ones.

Every single #Conservative just voted in House against abortion rights.
Tell your Conservative MP you’re disgusted that they want to take away a woman’s right to choose.
We can’t repeat catastrophic increase in deaths of women in US due to denial of reproductive health rights.

Conservatives aim to block not just abortion services but also discussions on women's reproductive rights in the House of Commons. This effort to silence debate reflects their intolerance, making it clear why Canadians should be concerned about a potential Conservative government. #NDP

Bike lanes often look empty because they are so much more efficient at moving people. Even when tons of people use a bike lane, it never fills up the way a car lane will.
Both computer models and real world studies agree that in the long term, bike lanes improve traffic by removing vehicles.

Breaking. A CBC #Ottawa piece examines planned use of mega Sprung structures to shelter asylum seekers. The crew came to #Toronto to look at our experience with Sprungs & they are by no means a short-term response, they have been up over 5 years.

A tour of a 'Sprung Structure' in Toronto | CBC News
As the City of Ottawa moves forward with a plan to build a temporary housing facility for asylum seekers, city staff say they're studying the examples set by other municipalities that already use the tent-like structures to house vulnerable populations.

It's wild that Ford is spending Northern Ontarian's money to rip out bike lanes in Toronto.

In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes.
So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity.

Tonight there will be a Blue Supermoon at 9:35 ET
The moon will appear about 8% larger than a normal full moon and 15% brighter than a normal full moon.
The next one won't be until January 2037. Keep any eye out tonight!

You have to wonder if this is why the Ford government is paying Musk 12 times the retail cost of installing Starlink in Northern Ontario. $100M deal doesn't include subscriptions, only installation.
There is now some hard evidence that X boosted the Trump campaign and suppressed the Harris campaign. What's to stop Musk from doing the same in other countries?

Trigger warning: death, family, brassicas.
My niece asked me recently whether I'd like a cabbage on my coffin when I die.
She laughed.
I thought for a moment, then said, yes. Yes I would like a cabbage. And I told her that SHE had to be the one to put it on my coffin.
She stopped laughing.
