I'm off to Toronto in August. Where should I go for take out that I can eat outside? I'll be near city hall.

If anyone is looking for fun gifts in the UK (especially people of the Midlands), take a look at Dukki gifts. It’s a small business run out of their house. They design and make (most) of their stuff in their back garden shed. And they are big LGBTQIA+ allies all year long. https://www.dukkigifts.co.uk/ #UK #Nottingham #Gifts

So it looks like Dougie is taking an extended break and is shutting the Ontario legislature early - ie today. The day before OSBCU is set to request the start of bargaining. They&#39;ve spent just 29 days in the legislature this session and have rammed through countless shit bills without giving adequate time for public input, proper committee hearings and all the rest that should go into passing bills. But that&#39;s what you get with first past the post and majority governments. #ONt...

The big 5 Education unions sent notice to bargain today and had a joint press conference. It is a positive start of hopefully a much closer relationship between them this round of bargaining. Read the statement here: https://osbcu.ca/2026/06/03/6837/ #Union #UnionStrong #CUPE #OntEd #OnPoli #Ontario

If you are looking for cute fidget things then take a look at Britt Builds on Etsy. Really cute, well printed and put together, and affordable. Mine came really quickly and were well packed. Best of all, they are made in Canada! https://brittbuilds3d.etsy.com

Mother’s Day. My kids remembered by themselves for the first time since I became a mother a few more years than I care to admit ago. It was lovely. And then everyone left me alone for the day so I could read and drink tea. Perfect day.

The Province Wide Day of Action is next week! April 29th wear purple (or red) and show solidarity to education workers and teachers across Ontario. AEFO, ETFO, OECTA, OSBCU and OSSTF are organizing and fighting for education together! #OntEd #OnPoli #UnionStrong #UnionSolidarity

I really hope Jeff Leiper does a lot of work out in the suburbs for his mayoral campaign. That’s where it Sutcliffe dominated and won last time.

First cuts at TCDSB have happened under their “supervision” laying off 77 CUPE 3155 language instructors basically wiping out the local. No more language learning during the week. https://www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/article/tcdsb-supervisor-announces-cuts-to-literacy-program-changes-to-international-language-instruction-and-bell-times/ #OntEd #OnPoli #NeverVoteConservative

No I won’t be waking up at 6am on a Sunday to watch grown men hit a flat disk around an ice rink. I value my catch up sleep far too much for that.
