This why we can't trust the Liberals to deliver on their promises. They helped the Conservatives break the healthcare system. Vote Jen Deck in #Ptbo! πŸŠπŸ‘

Liberals 🀝 Conservatives. They broke our public healthcare system. 🧑 The Ontario NDP will fix it! Starting with a family doctor for everyone. βœ… Vote Jen Deck in #Ptbo β€” Kawartha

I missed the rally but these clips looks great! I'm not sure the other parties have this kind of energy around their campaigns. Here's hoping #Ptbo turns 🍊!

Fantastic candidate! It would be a crying shame if we didn't elect someone like Jen Deck here in #Ptbo. Go Jen, Go! πŸ‘

Happy First Friday #Ptbo! You're invited to join the local NDP crew at The Only Cafe at 6 PM and meet our amazing candidate, Jen Deck, over drinks and snacks. Afterwards, we'll break off into smaller groups to explore the First Friday Artcrawl. 🍊

Hey #PTBO, remember when I said less parking for apartment requires improving transit? Not approving your cycling master plan and not hiring more transit drivers is EXACTLY NOT THAT.

Taylor Clysdale@taylorclysdale.bsky.social

This is a great change, but it will be even more effective with increases to active transportation and transit. Making Ptbo walkable and bikable will help actively reduce the wasted space of parking lots.

As Premier, I will end chronic homelessness and make encampments a thing of the past. We will take a housing-first approach, put a roof over people’s heads, and connect them with the supports they need.

As we already know, Peterborough-Nogojiwanong is a very engaged community. Here is some data from the #PTBO Bluesky feed that demonstrates how engaged we are. However, it saddens me to see that outrage at the actions of our city council is what causes this chart to spike.

The council meeting last night broke me. Until about halfway through the night, while things often happened around the horseshow I didn't like, I was able to keep some hope that council was 11 people trying their best and worth engaging with in good faith. I was wrong. #ptbo

Huge success on the doors today despite the frigid weather. The working class neighbourhoods in Lansdowne St near the mem centre and the streets near Del Crary are now solid orange with signs and supporters 🍊 Message us to request one and show Doug Ford the working class in #PTBO wants change!

You can cast your ballot right now! No need to wait in line on election day. Just go to the returning office in Peterborough Square downtown whenever you’re free. Vote Jen Deck for #PTBO - Kawartha!

It’s official: Doug Ford quit on Ontario today. So I’m here to apply for his job. In the next few weeks, we can turn the page on seven long years of failure, corruption, and bad deals. You deserve a better government. With your support, I’ll be a Premier that’s on your side. #ONyourside

Thank you for boosting! Humble explainer that the feed is different than the mere #Ptbo hashtag because it pulls from a bunch of hashtags and keywords. For example, of you wanted to use Nogojiwanong instead of Ptbo, it would still hit the feed! πŸ‘ bsky.app/profile/did:...

Welp! Justin Trudeau resigned as leader of the Liberal Party. I voted for him with the promise of election reform, which sadly never came. Even so, I can't help but think Canadians will look back on this day as a colossal mistake. #canpoli #cdnpoli Thank you for your service @pmcanada.bsky.social!

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

Adding a few more keywords to the #PTBO Bluesky feed: Michelle Ferreri, MPP Dave Smith, Jeff Leal. I am a tad worried that "Dave Smith" is too common a name, so hopefully "MPP Dave Smith" filters out irrelevant stuff. If that doesn't work, we'll just have to vote him out πŸ˜‰ bsky.app/profile/did:...

Dec 13, 1914: Canadian Pacific reroutes two Montreal-Toronto express trains in each direction away from its old line via Peterborough. The express trains would now run on CP's new Lake Ontario Shore Line through Oshawa, Trenton, and Belleville, opened earlier that year. 1/3

πŸ”Š Time for our annual budget podcast! πŸ”Š Why are PTBO citizens facing another big tax hike? Could the city boost revenue without raising taxes? Or are spending cuts the answer? What role do the provincial and federal governments play? Lots to discuss! peterboroughcurrents.ca/analysis/a-d...

Thanks for adding me! We're all learning these great customization features on Bluesky. Compared to X, they're fantastic for localization. My feed utilizes a 3rd party app to add common #Ptbo hashtags to a feed. You can save a feed and check back often. πŸ‘ bsky.app/profile/did:...
