The further into this election period we get (has it really only been a few days??) the more I can see that this snap election is a slap in the face to everyone who has been struggling over the past 4 years. #peipoli

Went to see Blade last night at City Cinemas in downtown Charlottetown. If you love movies, you should really go see one there.
The room is intimate, with limited seating. The picture and sound are flawless.

We had a tow bar fitted to our @Tesla Model Y by a reputable company but apparently the car needs a software update to tow. Tesla are refusing to enable "Trailer Mode" because they didn't fit the tow bar.

So the default mode for an academic is to do not much except prop up and ensure the smooth functioning of the present social order. That is a de facto conservative, whatever we may tell ourselves about how ever so radical we are. I do think there are exceptions!

Did you know you can participate in public consultations on the Employment Standards Act? Read the report and tell @infoPEI that you support improvements like paid sick leave for all Island workers! #peipoli – at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island
Groups and individuals - have your say in the public consultations on the Employment Standards Act.
Review the interim report and outline of stakeholder proposals for change, and provide feedback to the Employment Standards Act Comprehensive Review Panel. princeedwardisland.ca/en/new…

Let’s really think about this line from this 👇 story about seniors left for ~2 weeks w/out power post-#Fiona
“… ultimately the company [Maritime Electric] has the freedom to decide where its resources would be best applied in restoring power.” cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-ed…

The word “homeopathic” really just means it’s a magic potion that’s allowed to masquerade as medicine to mislead consumers.
Save your money.
Sick with a cold? Stay home. Rest. Hydrate. Mask. Wash your hands.
There really is no magic to it. Only time.

Have you donated to @redcrosscanada to support Atlantic Canadians following #HurricaneFiona? Then you should probably read this - and be concerned. #PEI is in day 13 of power outages, failure of services - and @redcrosscanada are nowhere to be found, with $16m of your $. #peipoli

But that outcome doesnt exist in a vacuum.
Is it possible that telling women to be careful could nominally decrease instances of rape? Sure
Does it also cast doubt, create shame, and incentivize women not to report, which protects rapists and increases the risk of assault? Yes.

A @redcrosscanada comms person emailed me Fri, saying my “negative” comments were “discouraging” volunteers.
All I did was detail my own inability + those of others to get clear info about aid for Islanders.
Perhaps focus comms energy on letting P.E.I. partners in on your plans
