Thanks for boxes and boxes of donated KN95 and N95 masks in all sizes. To give to families in #Ottawa that are trying to #MaskUp but can’t afford a mask. @ShawnMenard1@twitter.com @JoelHardenONDP@twitter.com @JohnFraserOS@twitter.com @ArielTroster@twitter.com @AlexMunter@twitter.com @OttawaFoodBank@twitter.com @REDBLACKS@twitter.com, let’s distribute these!
@johnefrancis @Dianora@octodon.social @ottaross You don't need to miss So Good -- I think it's still there. Under different ownership, but Peter made sure there would be continuity and they can still accommodate allergies etc like he did. Unless it's closed very recently?
Here is the decision from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice striking down #Bill124: https://77b90736.flowpaper.com/OntarioEnglishCatholicTeachersAssociationetalvHisMajestythpdf

Thank you to my colleague NDP MPP Marit Stiles for calling Ford out on his donor – developer connections to the #Greenbelt #Ontario #Torcen #TorontoCentre #Toronto #OnPoli #ToPoli #NDP #OntarioNDP
This is a great resource, if anyone asks about the science behind masks and their use - thanks for compiling it, @Billius27@twitter.com. It won’t sway people who are vehemently against the idea that we #BringBackMasks, but it will help people who want to learn more. https://billius27.substack.com/p/masks-evidence-and-use
Well then I think that went well: I think the account is gone. For anyone watching, that was an account on mstdn.ca with two misinformation posts about masks attacking Trustee Kaplan-Myrth, including in response to her post about bullying. Criticism and disagreement is fine, but bullying and harassment are not; how the fediverse handles this particular case will be my litmus test for how Mastodon compares to Twitter along that particular important axis.
@Pheneatis @SamHersh01 @johnefrancis Yes please, let’s normalize verification on Mastodon.
Hey friends! https://ottawa.place is now open for signups 🎉🇨🇦❤️
@andrew and I built it as a hosted-in-Canada, capital-region-focused (but open to all Canadians) instance.
Please boost so folks can find us! 👀

Making my first reports for harassment on Mastodon -- let's see how this goes..
@sboots @cira @chad I have my account there, and might move, but I'm also curious about the co-op model of cosocial.ca -- might try that out first. #CoSocialCa

How is it possible that there is no emoji for potato chips?

Perfect afternoon to work on our #Chanukah and #Christmas cards to send to friends and family. This year, perhaps more than ever, we must each hold up a light in the darkness, persevere in the face of adversity. #WeNotMe
