Laura Janssens

On my last night as MP, I thank Jack Layton for inspiring me to run for public office.
Jack made me believe it was possible to do politics with integrity. He loved our country and he loved people.
He said politics was about getting your hands dirty and taking chances to make life better for people

Ontario Election 2022 :

The election set a record for the lowest voter turnout ever in an Ontario Provincial election. Only 44.06 % voted.

Doug Ford is banking on Ontarians not voting so he can win another again,

Ontario prove him wrong, VOTE HIM OUT with the highest ever voter turnout !

I want you to know that I read your URL as "Canie at this for aging" and it took me a sec 🍄

5 cute kids and one cute dog posing in front of the Heemans flowery photo op wall

Is Heemans still not on Bluesky?! I'm gonna have to singlehandedly represent them with cute pics of my kids taken there 🤷‍♀️

A cartoon drawing of a mama mouse with 5 little mice sitting around a table looking cozy and happy. The caption says "Silly me, here I was hurrying through all the things I once hoped for"

A lovely reminder to self on those busy, frustrating days 💕

Two people's heads popping up from a bed of moss and fungi with mushrooms on their heads. Text reads "when I say let's hang this is what I mean"

🥰🍄

Ugh 🤦‍♀️

I'm sure you've already exhausted all options, but just in case, have you applied for ODSP? I found their approval faster and I was on it for a while before CPP-D. Maybe your MP could be more helpful than mine? (I'm London north center)

We're going through the exact same. 63 days past 120 day deadline. When we finally talked to someone, they basically said they can keep extending that deadline by 15 business days at a time. MP's office did nothing, and we can't file a tribunal appeal until we have an actual decision from CPP-D.

Do we know who was responsible for that 2019 CAMAP document? Was it commissioned by the federal government?

Do you happen to know anything about NYE at Victoria Park? I.e. what time fireworks are, or a kids countdown, or anything?

A family photo with 2 parents, 5 kids, and a small dog, all in matching Christmas family pajamas (fam jams) alongside the Elf (Will Heeman) in front of a holiday evergreen backdrop that says "CHEER", and "making spirits bright at Heemans"

Heeman's from #LdnOnt is not on Bluesky yet, which is a tragedy. I will try to fill this void with our annual Heeman's fam jam photo 🤘

“Bluesky is an echo chamber!”

Our Reply: Echo chamber? Nah, we prefer to call it surround sound for facts.

I think the Bluesky practice of muting or blocking trolls instantly instead of engaging with them is healthy and makes this a much more pleasant place.

This is a great norm.

7. Bluesky's data servers are named after mushrooms! Some of them include morel, enoki, shiitake, puffball, oyster... 🍄

Lol oh no

I seem to be getting exactly 2 types of followers on #bluesky:
- mutuals (generally people I already know)
- complete strangers who only speak German ???

Anyone know why that is? Lol

BLUESKY: let’s share jokes and opinions and pictures of dogs and nice mushrooms

TWITTER: everyone who isn’t a white american is a subhuman monster who must be destroyed in the raging flames of a burning cross

There’s a phenomenon when a person becomes passionate about nature as an adult and realizes there is more to learn than they’ll ever know, about birds, plants, rocks, etc etc, called the “wall of grief”, which is why I stick to fungi, so I can concentrate on how I’ll never know all the mushrooms

Sorry I’ve been weird lately but I was also weird before

In this house, we believe:
- love is love
- science is real
- darkness is beautiful
- mossy trees are sexy trees
- squirrels are tiny demons
- pants are always optional

You're thinking cannibal, not carnivore 😁

I aim to avoid mess 😂

I had the same thought! Hello again!

As a man, my wife would be respected as a wealth of high-quality information. As a woman, she's treated as a "know-it-all".

As a man, she would be honored as assertive and confident. As a woman, she's denigrated as bossy and overbearing.

STOP TREATING MY OPINION AS IF IT'S WORTH MORE THAN HERS!!

@michelleclermont.bsky.social see? :)
