In 2017, 150k people paid Cards Against Humanity to protect a pristine plot of border land from Trump’s racist wall. But then an even richer, more racist billionaire—@ElonMusk—stole their land and dumped his shit all over it. Fuck that! ElonOwesYou100Dollars.com #ElonOwesMe100Bucks
The lady at the @GOtransit Whitby station is hilarious, she literally yells at people who aren’t doing what she asked over the speakers. Good for her. Mind you, can’t hear her properly at the west end of the platform cause the speaker isn’t working properly. 🙄
I'd love to, @Metrolinx , but Go Tracker is a UX mess, and unusable for travelling from Union Station when using my computer. Why not just put the functionality on Gotransit.com? WHY DOES ONTARIO MAKE ALL PUBLIC TRANSIT SO DIFFICULT?!

So please tell me, @GOtransit , am I going insane or does the computer version of your GoTracker.ca website not allow me to see train times FROM Union Station?! #transit
Awesome, my @GOtransit train is screaming ads at me now at top volume, something about hockey. Bad enough the quiet zone is sponsored by a megacorp. Are you TRYING to drive people away?
Hey @GOtransit , why not sort out the markings and rules for your kids and ride pickups in Whitby. Clearly no one knows how to use it, and trying to keep a lane free leaves you at the back. It’s not like public transit is easy and convenient m, why make it harder?

It has been an honour to serve the students and families of my community. But I would be untruthful if I said being a trustee has been a great joy. I believe the government should revisit the structure of school boards and I believe it should happen urgently.

There you have it folks, Ontario Conservatives are the first Canadian government to use the Notwithstanding clause to override Constitutionally protected Labour Rights.
Quite a day in Canadian Labour law and Constitutional history.
Congratulations @niki_lundquist on winning the election for town councillor in Center Ward 3! Whitby is lucky to have you!

Hey everyone, the next #QuickTalk has been posted for Nov 16th at 6pm! Come and see Nadezhda Belousova & Anjali Leon talk about Stances of Product Leadership! As usual, sign up on #Meetup! #toronto #agile #virtual meetup.com/agileto/events/28…
Go home @Sflecce, you and your buddy @fordnation are simply ridiculous, and lie with abandon. Creating crises is your expertise, not governing or supporting people.
BREAKING: Contract talks between CUPE and the Ford government have broken down, setting the stage for a strike.
Ed Minister Lecce tells me "the government will act to keep kids in school" -- signaling legislation to prevent job action.

Hey @StarbucksCanada , when are you going to get rid of this massive waste of plastic in your branches? Almost criminal way to stopper up a 1cm hole in a lid! #waste #environmental

Really excited to have @DianaOfPortland join @AgileTO_ca for a #QuickTalk #MeetUp on the topic of "Leading Without Blame". This talk coincides nicely with the release of her book, coauthored with @t_broderick on building resilient learning teams.

The only upside of #QueenElizabeth passing at 96 is that she managed to avoid that awkward decision and n four years about whether to send herself a birthday telegram. #RIPQueenElizabeth
