The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

I was given some wonderful seed garlic from my good friend at Take a Quack at It Mini Farm and it did so well. Home grown garlic tastes the best. So much flavour! If only I could grow everything so reliably.

If you use the IWK, don't try the patient parkade. I spent 30 min trapped (no spots - tight turn around - at least 15 others in line). My 5yo and I (disabled) ended up running from Spring Garden, 15 min late after arriving 30 min early, and it cost more than before. A good idea with a crap plan.

Taking cues from his buddy Doug? Eight days for the fall session? Mega bills?

Our neighbourhood only gets street cleaning a handful of times a year, and usually no earlier in the morning than garbage collection/ mail delivery/ neighbours with loud engines etc. so I've never noticed a problem. Does this happen a lot/ night time on the peninsula?

Exploitation

Heartbreaking. I'm so sorry / angry.

I'm heartsick for Nfld/Labrador. I grew up in CBS. In the 80s, if you were lucky, you'd get 3 or 4 days a year warm enough to use the kiddy pool if you dumped in a few buckets of hot water first. You'd never think Newfoundland needed more cool summer weather and fog, but please let there be rain.

I'm going with a solid E today. The world is a dumpster fire, but I still have to make sure the kids can eat and swim and spell stuff.

Doing enough for climate change but hates bike lanes, electric car chargers, and wetlands. Oh, and apparently ASL for some reason.

Yup and housing issues are because of electric car chargers and wetlands.

The "Trump slump" quoted later in the article is a more accurate placement of blame/ cause and effect than the title tries to imply.

I can't love this enough.

And after you go, be sure to remind politicians that our heritage is so vital to our national identity that we needed to use public funds, in times of crisis, for free access and so museums/ parks should not be facing drastic staffing cuts to make up a minuscule percentage of the federal budget.

Public parks in Charlottetown, Moncton, Quebec City, Gatineau, Vaughn, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Kelowna, and Abbotsford are also listed on Shazam as hosting his hate speech tour. #cdnpoli

As a Canadian, I'd support it here. If you don't mind outdoor scenery, I hear York Redoubt might be available soon. I'll bring the donairs.

Want to let the Premier, your MLA, and Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing know what you think about "strong mayor" powers? Ecology action center has a nice tool for that and a template email to get you started.

When the application to get CPP-D is basically a full-time job... you know... that thing you're too disabled to do.

Is it any wonder people fall victim to predatory services that file applications on your behalf while taking a huge percentage.

Just a thought, but our issues don't seem to be bike lanes.

Robie was a nightmare (in a section with no bike lanes) - construction. Quinpool was congested into the rotary (no bike lanes) - traffic merging into the right lanes last minute/poor design and signage and illegal stopping/ parking. Significant slow downs on Bay Road (no bike lanes) - construction.

Update: I traveled the full length of Morris today, late afternoon. The entire time, I encountered only 8 private passenger vehicles, 1 corporate vehicle, 3 public transit busses, 1 bike, and 2 scooters. There were 0 traffic delays or congestion issues.

A great addition to the ever growing #buycanadian list.
