I was flabbergasted to see @citykitchener.bsky.social staff destroying the naturalized garden in front of Huron NATURAL Area this morning ahead of the FOREST Festival. The irony is ridiculous. Someone needs to answer for this.

Just like in ON and NS, first-past-the-post incentivises parties to trigger snap elections when polling shows an increased majority, even without majority voter support.
Proportional representation fixes this toxic dynamic, encouraging cooperation over political gamesmanship.

B.C. Premier David Eby has called a snap provincial election, he announced Tuesday.
The B.C. NDP leader has been urging his caucus to be ready for an election so he can seek a new mandate to provide more stability amid U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war.
Voters go to the polls on Oct. 24.

This is the next step toward murdering people en masse.
NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal.
As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.

This is so much fun to watch. I’m practically giddy.
Denying a narcissist his supply is the only way to get him to do what you want. And once you learn it works, well, it becomes a lot less frightening.

That's what she should be crying about. Some of it seems to be because they split out long-term residential care. That makes the numbers even worse given the aging out population. No one will be happier than her retirement living sector is 99% sold out to American REITs
