Hey Ontario! You've heard of the disastrous Ford bill to destroy tenant rights, but did you know that Omnibus Bill 60 would entirely wipe out the ability of cities to right-size their roads by reducing lanes _at all_, not even just for bike lanes?
If you care about fewer people dying on Ontario roads, the environment and transit, or even just getting where you want to go efficiently (more lanes doesn't mean better traffic flow! Often, exactly the opposite via induced demand), you should care about this provision.
A friend called Ford's office this morning and the staffer answering didn't have any idea what provision they were referring to - that means not nearly enough people know about this proposal and are making it known that this is unacceptable.
Give your MPs and Ford's office a call, eh about Bill 60's threat to municipal control over their streets and transportation infrastructure, eh?

Workers in Ontario were shortchanged nearly $200 million in unpaid wages, a new report says: ‘A massive crisis happening in plain sight’.
many years ago i began archiving original receipts from game/system purchases. these ephemera were almost always thrown out by the owners, so it's a rarity to come across one while out thrifting.
this k-mart receipt from 1989 is for a Nintendo Power Set for $149 CAD in Hamilton Ontario. the white original and pink copy went to the store, and the customer received the yellow copy.
it's hard to imagine a big box store using handwritten receipts as far back as 1989.

Just found out I can't get my COVID booster until the end of October at the earliest, even though I'm high risk and due for one. What the fuck, Ontario? #HealthcareOrLackThereof #Ontario #Covid #CovidBooster

TIL, the city of #Kitchener was named after this fucking guy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Kitchener,_1st_Earl_Kitchener
Starved 22,000 Boer kids under 16 to death in concentration camps in South Africa circa 1901.
Over 27000 Boers and 14000 Black people died in those camps.
