Public Hearing coming up likely Dec. 1/2- would be great to hear voices that are concerned about the process followed here to speak up. Addressing the false dichotomy between what the mayor proposed and “massive densification” is important. This is not an either/or, and the process is at issue.

A nice Remembrance Day read from @maxfawcett.bsky.social
In the age of selfishness, let’s rediscover our sense of shared sacrifice
Remembrance Day is a reminder of what we were willing to fight for in the past — and how much it mattered that we fought together.

Dear @theglobeandmail.com Please bring back poetry reviews that reflect the complexity and deep engagement of our thriving CanPo world! We need discussion, critique, and space not mini synopses, and coverage of primarily non Canadian writers.

The folks at Service Canada sure have Bureaucracy 101 chops. Called me twice to tell me the Disability Benefits application I made on behalf of a man I am guardian for is incomplete BUT they can’t tell in what way it’s incomplete OR give me access to the application. Catch-22! Gotcha!
