We need to chose.
I'm excited to go to the #Montreal #Fediverse meetup tonight at #foulab !

What most excites me about @CraigSauve 's campaign to become mayor of #Montréal is his promise to make hats mandatory for all municipal employees.
This is exactly the sort of bold, forward-thinking policy Montréal needs. I only hope in his second term he finds a way to extend it to all Montrealers.

I love these before and after shots of #montreal 's urban transformation. We live in a beautiful city.

The chickenized reverse centaur is a new circle of labor hell, a genuinely innovative way of making workers' lives worse in order to extract more billions for one of the most profitable companies in history.

The event page for @pluralistic 's Enshittification book tour stop in #Montreal links to Facebook for full details…
The irony of this is not lost on me.
(See you there, tomorrow, local friends?)

Activité à Montréal que je co-organise:
Vendredi créatif dirigé: Création d'une banderole collective sur la démocratie locale
Venez mettre votre créativité au service d'une réflexion collective sur la démocratie locale! Dans le contexte des élections municipales qui s'en viennent et de la semaine d'action collective sur la démocratie locale du mouvement Multitudes, nous allons créer une guirlande de fanions collective sur laquelle on inscrira nos aspirations, nos priorités et les solutions qu'on mettrait en place si c'était nous le maire/la mairesse ou si on faisait partie du Conseil. Les fanions porteront nos messages et pourront être décorés selon nos envies (texte, broderie, petits dessins, boutons, rubans...).
Quand?
demain vendredi 24 octobre, 18h à 19h30
Où?
6450, av. Christophe-Colomb, Montréal
Événement Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/1437474160688715

Quand tu refuses de te joindre à la grisaille.
En face de chez moi, à #Montréal, lors de ma promenade matinale.
Quelle beauté 🍁
Bonne journée à vous tous, de partout!
