Attached are the 3 year projected job prospects for electricians, janitors, & cleaners, posted in order.
Other uses for those spaces will be found, some of which would still need the services of those same jobs.
In many (most?) cases those workers are not employed by the company leasing the space.

Instead of negotiating a flexible remote work model that saves taxpayers money, supports local communities, and keeps cars off the road, the federal government forged ahead with the costly plan to open coworking spaces that didn’t even last 6 months.

Do dad's typically give Mother's Day cards to their baby mamas that are from themselves & not their kids, cause "MILF" was not a term I was expecting to see while browsing Mother's Day cards...

Do you know if this has any ramifications for your book & those who backed it? Any thoughts you want to add?

Hamilton is not a serious place. Next week we'll meet the trenchcoat wearing watch salesman the city dealt with to upgrade the clocks in city hall.

It is a sad day for tenants in #HamOnt as one of our strongest voices for tenants' rights has gone silent.
Christine was a dedicated advocate with a cheerfulness that brought a light of hope & joy wherever she went.
She was my friend, & she will be missed, dearly.

Any #HamOnt local (or Canadian small biz that ships) candy shop recommendations? I'm looking specifically for saltwater taffy, but may end up getting other stuff as well.

COVID cases on the rise. A bird flu epidemic on the horizon. Walking pneumonia cases everywhere.
At what point does needlessly forcing workers back to the office meet the threshold for Criminal Negligence?

At least 67k small businesses on Shopify use Canada Post, and will be affected by them going on strike right on BFCM weekend. Canada Post has a government monopoly on delivering to P.O. boxes and is the only carrier supplying rural areas. This should not be allowed.

Don't be anti-union. They're striking for a reason. As much as I don't like it, they have the right to earn a fair wage and work in decent conditions. [person shrugging emoji]

Our taxes pay for public transit, just as they pay for municipal roads. Drivers don't have to pay an end user fee, so why should transit riders?
The economic benefits from a robust & deeply affordable public transit system are not found in the fare box.

After getting my shots Saturday I spent all day yesterday in bed with a high fever & now I'm logged into work with a low fever, cause missing more than 8 shifts in a single year would apparently bring the company to its knees.
So here are some cute pictures of my dogs.

My first organic block on bsky; it had to happen sometime.
Reminder, blocking on bsky is far more effective than it ever was on the bird site.

For those still believing the election of the Tangerine tyrant to the south has no bearing on our lives in the great white north I'd like you to take a look at this picture taken today in downtown #HamOnt.

Ludwig on BBC is quality.
David Mitchell is a gem, as always.
The show is in the classic detective style. Not a cop drama. Not a law & order procedural. An old fashioned whodunit with dark humour & logic.
We are thoroughly enjoying it as our "with dinner stories".
Only on s01e03 no spoilers pls.

Someone by the name of ellie (@ebloomfiee) on the bird app went to check out the first charity Clr Pauls mentions in her diatribe, Joy & Hope for Haiti, & shared this screenshot.

ellie @ebloomfiee - Nov 7

[Shows quoted tweet of Clr Pauls' that I already included in this thread]

@ebloomfiee
This is a real quote from the website of Joy and Hope for Haiti. They’re talking about returning to the ‘former glory’ of Haiti, aka pre-revolution, aka before the abolition of slavery??????

And then there's this statement from just the other day.
Clr Pauls, who has in the not-too-distant past voted for parking spaces over affordable housing, was moving a motion to ban encampments in public parks, and members of the public were delegating in opposition to her motion.
