Definitly worth potentially changing the cartridge in the faucet or the whole faucet. The cartridge will be cheaper.

Snow is falling and temperatures are dropping in Toronto. Remember to keep furnace vents clear from blowing snow and ice to prevent dangerous gases from backing up into your home. Stay safe.

I'm Gen Z and I can't afford to move out of my family home

The cost of renting means Gen Z are struggling to get a home of their own and it's hurting people like Generation Rent's Bismah Naqui.

Iโ€™m not sure which is worse. The fact heโ€™s still in power, or the people encouraging and egging him on who know better. I think the answer is yes. All of it.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

CFNY was transformative for me and many of my peers along with what became Y108. Below is a link to the long awaited doco on CFNY.

This is how I got into techno, industrial, and solidified my love for synth-based alternative music.

Walz: "Do you have no decency? We have someone dead in their car for no reason whatsoever. I don't want to be right about this, but I said if they do this they're gonna create a chaotic situation where someone innocent is gonna get killed. And they did it."

Republicans have told us for decades we need unlimited guns under the 2nd Amendment for days exactly like today.

But when today came, they called the unarmed woman murdered by an authoritarian government a terrorist instead of taking up arms against her killers.

Remember it.

Renee Nicole Good was 37 - A U.S. citizen - and a poet โ€” her wife watched her be murdered and is now a single parent to a 6 year old

This regime has been defined by the endless tragedies itโ€™s caused โ€” we owe it to the victims to fight for the accountability they ๐Ÿ’ฏ percent deserve

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long timeโ€”that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.
