Damn, the formula companies are really committed to mom shaming … no matter if you work full time or not, you’re screwed. Thanks Similac!

The Ontario government recently gave 43 of their MPPs a $16,000 raise, bringing their salary to $132,500/year.
So why are they refusing to provide a decent wage to Ontario’s lowest paid education workers, who make $39,000/year & are just asking for a $3.25/hour raise to survive?
I would like to see some people try and live on a 39k a year for a month and then come back and they see what our education workers should earn. #39kIsNotEnough
So weird to not vote today. Both my mayor and councillor are acclaimed. If you’re not like me (which you probably aren’t, weird sitch)… go vote!

Remember when they were trying to figure out why there was a giant drop in crime like 30 years ago and they tried to say it was due to better policing…
And then the Freakonomics dudes figured out it’s because an entire generation wasn’t forced to give birth to unwanted kids.

Fun fact: you aren’t allowed to use a car seat at all aboard @VIA_Rail. I hope the new trains come equipped with at least a couple seats that could accommodate them!

Protest organizer Chris Barber taken into police custody on Albert Street, in the last hour.
Imagine Ottawa collected enough in bylaw fines to build a new project and protesters funded a new affordable housing building. Or a new park. Or retrofitted a community library.

“Nobody invited me or any South Asian truckers I know... wage theft is a major issue across the trucking industry …These are the real issues we should all be uniting over, not vaccine mandates.”

Love getting to experience the kids Christmas magic again. Thanks @canadapostcorp volunteers for making sure Santa’s letter got here. Was a bright spot in a COVID-filled day.
