My gps took me in a very odd route from Toronto to Ottawa today but I did pass a farm stand with very cool eggs for sale.

Sigh. You don’t need photo id to vote in Ontario municipal elections but you do need to provide something with your address on it - neither your health card nor your passport have your address.
I was just turned away from voting in Toronto's municipal election even after presenting my voting reminder card with my name and address on it, my passport, and my Ontario health card -- unacceptable
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Voter information cards and passports are explicitly not acceptable ID for Toronto municipal elections, which require one piece showing name and qualifying address; health cards are accepted only in specific qualifying forms. toronto.ca/city-governmen… toronto.ca/wp-content/upl…

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson spent years in the UK with full access to British authorities after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor. They didn’t just fail to contact anyone, they kept the friendship going, took Beatrice and Eugenie to lunch with him days after his release, and continued gushing emails, favours, and contact. Beatrice and Eugenie were young adults. Why didn’t they contact the authorities about their parents’ relationship with a convicted sex offender, or about what they saw and heard? Or would it not have been a good career move for the “princesses of blood”? You demand Meghan phone the FBI about unproven allegations against her estranged father that UK police already had. You never ask the same of the Yorks about a man whose crimes against minors were already public. Why the difference, Angela? You are a racists demented person. Why did you lock your comments?
Meghan lived in America for six years from 2020. Why didn't she contact the US authorities about the allegations then concerning her father? He is a US citizen and the alleged offences took place in the US or Asia, not the UK. Or would it not have been a good career move?

When I was in grade one we had this one glass with a tiger on it who was biting his own tail. My brother and I constantly fought over who got it at breakfast and I was heartbroken when my dad broke it. Today I found two of them at a cool shop in Ingersoll On.

I’ve just let me brother know and told him I’m keeping them both because I’m still his little sister.

Meghan Markle is getting more heat for being the daughter of an alleged paedophile than (Prince) Andrew got for actually being the alleged paedophile.

One of the best parts about digging into my dad’s archive is finding out that they used to have perforated cards for card catalogues in their publications.

I know social media is bad but then you see this type of PSA and realize it has its uses. I used to work in my uncle’s cheese shop in Denmark and can confirm it is true.

I found a part of Canadian music history today at the local Goodwill. A Moist tee from the mid 90s.

I think it’s a bootleg given even I could do a better sewing job. But for $3.49 I think the girl will be happy with her vintage tee.

Did you know that Paul’s Ministry has offered Ontario families $100 a month in gas cards to drive their kids to school because he didn’t organize enough school busses for them? Seems like getting kids from their home to their school is a pretty important part of education?
Every parent wants to know their child is safe on their way to and from school. It's a peace of mind we want for every student, in every community. From kindergarten to high school, student safety is everyone's responsibility. This School Bus Safety Week, I remind all drivers to slow down, stay alert and take extra care around school buses and school zones throughout the school year.

My mum’s garden in fall is just starting to change. There’s a swinging bench under the tree if anyone wants a place to read in the sun.

Nurses fired. Students losing OSAP. Schools crumbling. People struggling to survive. But don't worry! Doug Ford just broke another record, spending $117 MILLION of your money on government ads telling you how he's "Protecting Ontario." Ford couldn't be more out of touch. #onpoli thetrillium.ca/news/governme…

He stopped the shooter, but he didn't stop the shooting. That's the difference. Three kids and their teacher were already dead, and an unarmed teacher had tackled him first. YOU spent decades blocking laws that keep guns away from kids. Now you're taking a victory lap? Fuck that.
“The NRA wants you to focus on how this was stopped…” Correct. A heroic armed citizen saved innocent lives. Your failed gun control policies and “Gun-Free Zone” stickers did not.

I’m enjoying some work from home days at my mums house. I’m trying to figure out how she still has things in her fridge that expired 5 years ago even thought I clean out her fridge ever 3 months. I think she’s trolling me.

Ontarians already pay enough for electricity. Now Ford’s government is cutting the electricity rebate from 23.5% to 15.7% starting November 1, just as prices are expected to rise. Families are struggling with affordability. Why make their hydro bills even harder to pay?

At best, the OSAP scandal is incompetence and mismanagement. At worst, potential corruption. Doug Ford’s Conservatives tried to scapegoat students by accusing them of wasting OSAP on luxury items, while nearly 20% of grant spending went to a handful of private career colleges referred to the OPP. Ford owes students an apology. Immediately restore grants for public institutions and reinstate OSAP for legitimate career programs. Sign my petition: tylerwattmpp.ca/fix-osap-asa… #onpoli
