@girls_can @radiolab My favorite podcast by far.
Hi there! @radiolab enriches my commute, enlivens my dinner table discussions and engages my brain to make a treadmill run bearable. It’s not free to make, even though it’s free to listen to. That’s why I just became a lab member. Consider donating if you can: https://radiolab.org/the-lab #podcast #radio #scicomm #journalism #donate
Chiefs of Ontario Demand Ontario Return All Removed Greenbelt Land Parcels and Call for #Criminal Investigation into Land Removal.
"During the Emergency Chiefs Assembly, a resolution was passed by the Chiefs-in-Assembly that directs the COO to demand that Premier Doug Ford commit to all the recommendations as outlined in the Auditor General’s Report, including the recommendation to return all land parcels to the Greenbelt immediately."

Has #Clark resigned yet for his epic failure to address #housingaffordability and his failure in overseeing the #greenbelt land swap?
According to this handy website, still nope!

the #auditorgeneralreport and #integritycommissioner already passed their verdicts. What will the police find? #opp #rcmp
@girls_can Developers, right. The correct word is racketeers. #Racketeering by any other name.
@girls_can @EricLawton several petitions put there to help get this messages to him 🙂
NDP has one.
Young Swallow coming right at me!😍
I finally managed to find some birds to photograph this evening, & I'm happy with this shot😀
I was by the river in Highbridge when I noticed a family of Swallows zipping about, they were actually grabbing flies off the top of the grasses! 🐦

Canada study debunks #stereotypes of #homeless people’s spending habits
"The widely held stereotype that people experiencing homelessness would be more likely to spend extra cash on drugs, alcohol and “temptation goods” has been upended by a study that found a majority used a $7,500 payment mostly on rent, food, housing, transit and clothes."
"pressure from advocacy groups to implement a universal basic income project that would help ease a cost-of-living crisis"

Nice!!
Mont-Tremblant National Park is now certified as the first International Dark Sky Park in Québec 🎉🥳
We started to work with them a few years ago, collaborating in taking night sky measurements, installing photometers, changing luminaires and starting their outreach program. I’m really happy for them and I’m looking forward more dark sky initiative in Quebec’s national parks.

#integrity Act violated by #Housing minister #clark rules Ontario’s Integrity Commissioner J David Wake - our #ethics watchdog. Steve Clark must #resign! #greenbelt #onpoli #integirtycommissioner #Recommendation14 #greenbeltscandal #affordablehousing
When will Minister #clark resign? The #greenbeltscandal was his mistake. If he didn’t know what his chief of staff was doing, he’s incompetent as the #Housing minister. But more, he’s only implemented 3/55 recommendations from the #ontario #housingaffordabilitytaskforce report. Hardly the record of success

Now it turns out land developers just planned to flip this #Greenbelt properties in Ajax for $$$.
