You don’t need Doug Ford qualifiers in this headline. The Hospital for Sick Children’s study showing “automated speed cameras reduce aggressive driving and speeding by almost half” didn’t make the cut.
Just call them speed cameras.

Sometimes I think
that maybe my posts and letters about Ukraine
could make you not only fall in love
with this wounded land,
but also look closer at
the country you live in,
the treasures you have,
the beauty your eyes can reach.

Oh, silly thoughts.
But good to have them anyway.

Cons always think they know better than experts because to them, everything is common sense. If common sense were a real thing, we wouldn’t need education or experts. The only people that believe in common sense are people that have never been become an expert in anything.

My friends, many at IOL, have asked me for my roster of employment lawyers. (I have had many jobs, so I know many employment lawyers.) It’s one of the saddest referrals I've sent in days. My wishes of "good luck" were hollow knowing the tough job market for an engineer with 25 - 30 years experience.

We were at the American Library Association Conference this summer talking with librarians about the importance of everyone having access to books that represent all kinds of different backgrounds and experiences.

Thank you to every librarian working to defend our right to read.

Now you know why!
A number of vehicles assigned to Ontario cabinet ministers have racked up a combined $3,300 in automated speed camera fines.
The data comes as the Ford government looks to eliminate the use of speed enforcement cams. #cdnpoli

"A free education is incompatible with fascism. Education is likely to be one of the great battlegrounds upon which is waged an intense and desperate struggle for power."

—John Dewey and Goodwin Watson, “The Forward View”

One should assume, if one had not already, that every single thing the GOP has to say about pretty much anything is a lie or fabrication.

It took a while to get my books into my local library, but my perseverance has paid off with Blood Moon going out on loan today. My first library borrow. Happy!

Cartoon by @ivan-ehlers.bsky.social.

Where is the training for neurotypical children to accept, embrace and welcome neurodiverse children??

My AuDHD children have been excluded, bullied, denied their experience, silenced, marginalised, punched, set upon & worse.

Until inclusion starts with their peers, then there is no such thing.

We wait with bated breath to see if Badenoch will sue @barristersecret.bsky.social for calling her an outright liar who uses pure fabrication to perpetrate a fraud on the public.

Idea: keep the inhalers, get rid of half a million cars per year.

Ontario’s Auditor General says Ford’s Skills Development Fund process was “not fair, transparent or accountable.”
800,000 Ontarians are looking for jobs—and Ford has turned the Skills Development Fund into a personal slush fund. #cdnpoli

My idea of heaven is a beautiful library, with beautiful grounds to walk on. Inside it is fully functional with books, audio, video, art & writing workshops, and guest speakers from throughout all time. Its rooms represent all cultures.
It is filled with people who loved learning their whole lives.

Happy Chuseok!!! Today is the Korean harvest moon festival, exceptionally late this year. Be sure to eat fried foods to celebrate abundance, maybe have a little chat with your ancestors too.

Happy birthday to Aaron Ashmore, born on this day in 1979 in Richmond, BC! He has appeared in many productions including as Jimmy Olsen in Smallville, Steve in Warehouse 13 and Johnny in Killjoys. He is a Canadian Screen Award nominee. His twin brother is Shawn Ashmore.

Eby - BC is leading 🇨🇦 with major opportunities to deliver prosperity to all of Canada.
We have billions worth of private sector & First Nations led projects, that are ready to go and will create thousands of jobs.
Alberta’s fictional bitumen pipeline achieves none of these things. #cdnpoli
