One more sleep until I leave for #BrusselsPlainLanguageExperience2025 where I will be speaking about Canada’s first accessible plain language standard. CAN-ASC-3.1:2025-Plain Language. Can’t wait to see you there! #PlainLanguage #Accessibility @Plain Language Association INternational (PLAIN)

Totally agree with you, Robin, and disagree with Mr. Fry. His comments, if he made them, smack of β€œI’m better than you because I care and you don’t.” No accounting for lack of education, access to libraries, art galleries, museums, etc.

Hey #BikeHFX, has anyone registered their bike on a bike registry website? Is it a good idea to do that? What is a good registry for Halifax?

I made stock twice in as many weeks, which meant I made these delightful vegetable crackers twice, using the spent veg from the stock-making process.

The ones on the left are rosemary–parm and the ones on the right are cheddar–sage.

Recipe in my book #AfterTheFeast!

Film-maker Reid Davenport has delivered an important and thought provoking examination of Canada’s medical assistance in dying law. Must view for anyone seeking or in public office, as well as anyone who develops policy.

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719.

Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M β€” 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469.

Textbook corporate greed.

Whenever I visit Montreal, I park the car for the duration of the visit and take public transit. This last visit I took the train into and out of the city to Montreal West. It was fantastic. Leave the roads for people who need to transport goods or have mobility issues.
