Toronto driver not sure where to park after city removes bike lanes

Civic duty done. Voted for mayor, city council, and school board trustee.

Made some candy corn cookies!

Just went for a mammogram at the hospital. Saw one other person wearing a mask. An older man in a surgical mask.

This is very, very bad: “Information from more than 1.5 million other tips submitted to Canadian Crime Stoppers programs over the last 25 years — was exposed in a massive data breach, an exclusive CBC investigation has found”

Missed this last week: Brendan Kennedy at the Star reported that iGaming, the government agency responsible for online gambling, secretly shelved a research study intended to track rates of problem gambling in Ontario when those rates were much higher than expected. www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

TIL that blending fruit can actually lower the impact it has on blood sugar!

Just paid the College of Dietitians of Ontario $674 to protect the public from me for another year 😩

It’s very interesting to me that some people advocating for the availability of Nuvaxovid are using talking points from anti-vaxxers.

Painting my nails with a new glow in the dark nail polish and hoping I’m not irradiating myself.

Anytime I see anything cool on the internet now I assume it’s AI.

🎓Ontario university students wanted to participate in a research study comparing the quality of life of students WITH & WITHOUT Long COVID, and exploring the experiences & supports needed for those with Long COVID to thrive academically & personally. uwo.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Hi everyone, sorry to interrupt your Saturday 👋 I am excited to announce that @thewatchdog.ca is now officially launched I published an Editor’s Note this morning explaining: ✓ What The Watchdog is ✓ Why it’s focused on wealth, power and democracy ✓ The vision for this scrappy upstart publication

As an RD who works with A LOT of people with GI issues, this was a great listen. Now I’m curious: if the vagus nerve was severed, would that prevent the progression of Parkinson’s from the gut to the brain?

I had been planning on voting for Cadi because she has spoken about saving greenspaces but oof her response about homelessness here really concerns me. www.inquinte.ca/2026/10/cand...

This company used the ad system to locate targeted individuals and serve "zero-click malware" that took over their computers and phones without them having to take *any* action: citizenlab.ca/research/how...

Wtaf. When I was a student the CRA accidentally gave me back $50 and then asked for it back. How does something like this happen??

FYI Southern Ontario friends: at least two of my local pharmacies in K-W have updated covid shots available NOW for all adults. (The "only high-risk groups" availability was slated to extend to later this month, but apparently they opened it up early.)

Anyone know if they came back overnight to rip out the bike lane in Toronto?

Good trouble

Hey, Canadians, does anyone have a 🇨🇦 web hosting provider they're happy with that doesn't cost megabucks? I was with Hypermart forever, then they got taken over by another company that's now been swallowed up by a different one I'm not impressed with.

Yeah, that coughing and "something going around" discussions is COVID. That nice low summer is over. Toronto's wastewater viral load is showing a consistent upward trend in COVID-19 and nearly zero levels of influenza A & B and RSV. wwater.ca/Ontario/Toro...

Relevant to your interests @mark-carney.bsky.social

The yip yip monsters on Sesame Street. My mom left me inside watching while she went out back to hang out laundry and said she looked over to see me standing at the back window sobbing.

@kempie.bsky.social how’s everyone in your house doing? The nugget is sick AGAIN. Third illness of the school year. It’s gotta be a record this early.

All pants should have stretchy waistbands.

Got an email prompt to “finish my emails to continue my streak” and I don’t know what that means but I hate it.
