When you make a law, then allow people to flagrantly violate the law, then it’s not a law.
I am beyond angry, and while I get the difficulty in dealing with a situation like the current protest, that doesn’t mitigate the anger.

If you’re speaking about the terrorist acts in NZ today and the word ‘but’ or ‘however’ enters your speech, know that you’re probably wrong. People like the terrorists who acted today have no place in our society and should be condemned as the terrorists they are. Full stop.

As a Physics teacher, it's angering every Feb 2 to hear people yammer on about Shubenacadie Sam, Wiarton Willie and Punxsutawney Phil. I hate that we've moved so far away from Science that these are our 'trusted' sources.

Another hockey season done. That’s number 6 for me.

What say you, Niagara? If roundabouts are significantly safer, AND would eliminate red-light cameras … yay or nay?
Minnesota has about 200 roundabouts, and like any other group of skeptics, they've been documenting the results.

I’ve been thinking about this exact issue for a long time.
I have some ideas. More coming soon.
1️⃣Single storey plaza
🚳Massive street-facing parking lot
🤷♂️Never at capacity
These are drains on street life and housing supply potential.
A simplified severing process to offer part of the lot for redevelopment would unlock so much opportunity.

This is an important article for people to read.
I encounter a lot of weird stuff on the campaign trail, but nothing on this level.
There should be no pondering why we struggle to elect women and minorities (gender or otherwise). The reasons are clear.
We need to do better.
