I’m tired of Doug Ford playing with Toronto as if it were a game of SimCity 3000.

Yep we have too many people who are in the Ford cult.

My interview with CBC Daybreak from this weekend. I chatted about my Maclean's personal essay that focused on the separation movement in Alberta. (Thank you Laura for finding the link for me :) )

What utter embarrassment that was for the city.

And how I wish we had known it could only get worse when it spread provincially.

The last northern spotted owl in B.C. is likely gone. Is it too late to bring them back? A new federal recovery plan for the species offers a glimmer of hope, but with no owls sighted since 2023, it may be too little, too late

Today on Can Geo: The last northern spotted owl in B.C. is likely gone. Is it too late to bring them back? πŸ¦‰

A new federal recovery plan offers hope, yet with no sightings since 2023, the future looks uncertain.

My favorite public diety... Moloch the Owl.

Im not against the idea.

Im only unsure of actual difference in mayoral powers between the two countries. Since by all accounts the province "allows" the city to exist thru legislation and can play with the city at will.

Also aren't all airport also Federal land in some way?

Thats a good one.

Agreed.

But would a mayor in Canada have the ability to do that? The power provided by the position do not equate across the border.

No the town is uninspiring and Im glad to be out and the Colingwood Magpies AFL are bollocks.

That was a very toronto specific reference.

If you got it. You're in the right place.

Maybe in an old eastern european built ferry boat run by an equally eastern european proprietor who styles himself as a Captain?

I thought Douggie was pro bigger signs?

Or is it that they're digital and risk eating into the family business?

Having once lived in Collingwood Ontario and as a Carlton Blues fan.. This is extra offensive.

Clearing any possible ice dams.

I'm pretty sure that they've done that on the Humber at Old Mill in the past as well.

A Saturday Matinee at Allen’s Danforth Theatre – March 9, 1929. It was a chilly Saturday afternoon and the warm glow of incandescent bulbs lit up the sign of Allen’s Danforth Theatre.

I've been smelling them on and off in my area for the last two seeks..

I really hope its the same one and he's very mobile.. Because if not, the neighbourhood has a skunk problem.

The snow has almost melted... that can mean only one thing.

I think the diplomatic term would be spongy.

The snow is almost gone from all the hills, but the mud had arrived to replace it.
