I remember the line. It ran diagonal to the grain of the library’s hardwood floor. It escapes me whether the line was black paint or black electrical tape back in the ’80s and ’90s, but it’s tape today—scuffed and trodden upon, as though it were just some line to be stepped on that didn’t matter very much. Which it is. Or was, anyway.

Ontario is about to have an election. Is it necessary? No. Does that matter right now? Probably not. Should the people who have been complaining about Doug Ford’s governance of Ontario for years complain about having the chance to now vote him out of power? Probably not, but many of them sure are doing just that.

This is our City of Toronto green bin, used to keep the neighbourhood’s ever-present racoons out of our food waste. As you can see, it is broken. It can no longer keep out the raccoons, which makes it useless. Not just to me, but to anyone—that part is important. This is a story about how I tried to get it replaced, about how poorly the City of Toronto serves its citizens and how easily they could do things better, even without millions of dollars of investment.

I wish I had a picture of it, but we’re always driving by too quickly, and there’s nowhere to stop safely, so a description will have to do:It’s on Highway 11, in Ontario’s Muskoka area. An old abandoned gas station, closed and boarded up, waiting for years now for expropriation by the government when it gets around to adding lanes on the highway. Tall weeds growing between cracks in the concrete, random construction junk piled to the side. And graffiti, often changing but ever present.

Yes, 100%. No need to be petty.
Now that we know Poilievre is likely coming back to Parliament (and can then assume his official leader title, barring any regicide between now and then) Don't make his young family - which includes a non-verbal autistic daughter - move out in the interim. It'd be cruel.
I mean this is it. I personally know a solid handful of people who either went liberal or didn’t vote because they found Poilievre nasty. And these are not political twitter people! Just, like, cottage and farm “folks”, to quote Doug Ford, for whom I’m pretty sure they all voted.
Robert Fife on CBC’s Power and Politics re: Conservative MPs feelings about Pierre Poilievre. “MPs have told me that they found it really difficult going door-to-door because a lot of people were saying ‘we some of the policies you’re doing, but we think your leader is a dick’.” https://t.co/RE6n3a78NG
