About the protest at the school board building

It’s really maddening that there are protests across Canada today where people are basically railing against gender diversity, and by extension, fellow humans. This culture war bullshit is going to set us back so far. I wrote my trustees. Below, this may or may not work for you but maybe…

What I’m up against

The only car I’ve known so far threatened to send me over a fiscal cliff. But I had to say no. I decided last month to stop putting money into it pending a search for a new car and paying off my existing car loan. Neither of these two things…

From last to first

I keep thinking about that Point2Homes survey. Two things can be true: That survey is crap. 11 of the top 20 are in Ontario, and all but one of them do not border the city of Toronto. It must be nice to have all the Toronto benefits, but wash yourself…

My review of Happy City

In a previous blog post, I responded to Point2Homes’s Happiest Cities list, which ranked London 100 out of 100 Canadian municipalities. I took issue with the survey given that real estate agents’ priorities are different from mine and yours. …

It’s been 14 years

Okay, I’ll bite. Twitter is getting unusable. And I’ve been around since before I graduated high school. I must start with something important. Twitter was very important to me, from 2012 onwards. Let’s discuss my past for a second. It was structured in a way that I couldn’t meet people…

What “silver plus, plus” says about London Ontario

Yesterday morning, I was listening to CBC Radio on my drive to work. One of the stories was about the construction of our bus rapid transit. Apparently, the bus-only lanes in Old East Village would no longer run in the centre of Dundas Street, but would be moved to the…

From where I stand

Hi all. I was reading about the news stories on CBC about Lavish cancelling all-ages drag events at their longstanding nightclub. As I was talking with my girlfriend about this, I was unsure that it was even my place to talk about this (I’m straight), but from hearing this story…

Some random final thoughts before this election

Tomorrow cannot come any sooner. I still have a few more thoughts as we wrap up this election cycle. School trustee races I’ve noticed that the culture war is gaining ground in Ontario as many school boards will be having trustee elections alongside the council races. Many candidates for trustee…
