Back for one tweet to amplify this. Independent journalism at @thenarwhalca saved the #Greenbelt. Subscribe. Imagine the guts it took to conserve it back when every GTA developer had designs on it. Thank the visionary leadership of Dalton McGuinty. Politics matter.

This is getting very Being John Malkovich. I'm also @gmbutts on Threads. Wake me when one of them is dancing on Elon's Twitter grave.

I'm enjoying the quiet of being away from Twitter in its current form. Not sure how often I'll use it, but you can find me on Bluesky @gmbutts.bsky.social or @gmbutts on Instagram.

Twitter was fun while it lasted. We’re probably better off without it.
