This is so good!! Going to show this to both of my kids (7 and 11) and why I don't want them having a YouTube channel.

Too much milling about.

Who gets the honour of pulling off the black tablecloth? Hilarious that this is how they're embargoed, and no one has tried to just take one.

Gord Perks to CBC: "Over a decade or two, our DCs are rising at not much more than the rate of inflation"

Chart showing peel Police budget as $42.1 million vs. $16.4 million for everything else

Again with alt text

We have lost the plot in Peel. Look at that top line - budget "requests" by Peel Police are now so record-breaking, so unhinged, so completely untethered from results, they're literally off-the-chart.

If you're a taxpayer, victim, or anyone who cares about justice, you should be furious.

Put it together quickly so it's not pretty but at least it's accurate!

Budget chart showing Peel Police asking for $42.1 million, which is almost 3 times the budget allocated to everything else

Also that chart is awful. How is that allowed. Should looks like this:

That Police budget is absurd. We could fund so many services our city desperately needs and reduce the need for police!

stop immigration so we can take care of our own im starving. fuck off.

What If Friendship, Not Marriage, Was at the Center of Life? “Our boyfriends, our significant others, and our husbands are supposed to be No. 1. Our worlds are backward.”

Resharing. This article made think about how marriage & the nuclear family have historically been centred in the design & dev’t of #cities. What if we intentionally designed places & spaces that centred friendship, community care circles & public space stewards?
