Isn't this pretty much how #BikeHFX got started?

And nobody has ever wanted to befriend someone because "I saw them drive a car once."
I saw a neighbor loading a very small child on the back of their bike this morning and now I want to befriend that neighbor on the basis of "I saw them on a bike once."
For anyone waiting with bated breath:
The budget passed 170-168.
2 NDP abstentions and 2 from the Conservatives.

Why did nobody tell me Bill Mont died?
Do you all know who he is, or do only the old folks remember him.

Desiree is using my foot for a pillow.
Apparently, I won't be going to bed tonight.

That panic when you can't find your phone. Only to discover it was in your hand the entire time.

If you are in HaliSky right now, DO NOT try to go anywhere on the 102.
I don't know what happened but you will be traffic and you will not move very quickly.

Think before you type ⌨️
I’m a fan of The Kinks. I recently heard they released some recordings from the Royal Albert Hall in the ‘90’s just before they broke up, so I decided to google “rare kinks videos”. This was a mistake.

Today's SCOTUS decision on gender markers on passports will prove to be on the wrong side of history.

In one of the past elections, an Indigenous person described them to me as "two sides of the same colonial coin."

This week, while I'm here holding down the fort, my eldest and his family are enjoying the fresh mountain air in Munnar.
For now, I'm living vicariously through them, but I told them next time they are taking me with them.

I think this cop must be a Dad, too.
He knows how to deal with a couple of unruly boys.
This Canadian cop broke up a road rage incident during an interview.

That is hilarious. 😂 very Canadian indeed

Worked late.
Totally missed the budget broadcast on CBC.

What's in and what's out?
Is it going to pass?

Oh FFS, “He has provided no evidence nor argument to show he has been diligent in pursuing his rights as it pertains to his immigration status,”
He's been in prison for 43 years for a crime he didn't commit. How was he going to pop into the immigration office to deal with paperwork?

Sarcasm tags aside, if it’s a choice between a couple of individuals ‘getting away’ with something OR people with legitimate needs going without, I choose to err on the side of community, society, and care every time. Easy choice.

A new fraud scam (to me at least). A Docusign request. I actually get Docusign requests for a couple of things so I had to look twice.
Always something.

It's a beautiful day to clean out your dryer vent.

It will make your dryer more efficient, saving you money, and could also prevent your house from catching on fire.

Win/Win

Besides checking the smoke alarms, I also use the time change as the prod to check the expiration dates on all my cards, passports, etc. I have two coming up.
