Perhaps phone the pharmacy directly, as some have limited supply. Our pharmacist has to pre-order vaccines for Covid and flu, then wait to see how many and kinds are actually delivered. Some people went to two different pharmacies to get their shots! Doctors are only allowed to give flu shots.

Is this how Ford is planning to repurpose speed cameras in Ontario?

A wonderful surprise on a cool fall morning! Just found three Swallowtail caterpillars dining on dill leaves. Hopefully the caterpillars will produce enough glycerol (antifreeze) to survive frosty mornings. They do look about ready to make their chrysalises, wisely overwintering in Canada 🇨🇦

In KW, Turning Point tried to infiltrate the public school board meeting. High schools are being targeted. Jivani is recruiting in northern ON. We need to keep a keen eye out in our own communities, to protect all ages of children. This organization needs to be designated a hate group In Canada.

So true, and they love to claim the limelight.

He won't. He's all talk and enjoys spending our money in the States. Besides the #75M ad, now there is the US contract to build a private hospital in ON, and who knows what else?!!

The Ford ad is not a Canadian ad, per se. It is solely a
"Ford in the province of Ontario" ad, purchased with taxpayers' money (for public health and education). The $75M price tag was taken from @11M hardworking Ontarians. Ford is already @$15B in debt this year, directing money to the States.

Have you tried reading "dinosaur therapy" and new, "dinosaur philosophy", available at bookstores? I love these cartoons commenting on life's experiences.

A beautiful sunny fall day with scattered showers, when colourful leaves are on display outdoors, snd accompanied by Calico corn and handcrafts indoors.

There’s got to be a method to their madness, as now Trump says it’s Ford’s tariffs on electricity to 3/50 States. In this case, two wrongs may a “right” move 🤔

Barbara MacKinnon @barbaramackinnon.bsky.social · 3d

Good catch! Perfect pic.

Barbara MacKinnon @barbaramackinnon.bsky.social · 3d

Agree! So badly wanting the spotlight and always doing his best to ruin the actual ongoing negotiations. He’s really stepped into it this time.
And as usual, at our tax dollar expense, money going to the Staes and not staying in Ontario.

Ford has used Berry in this capacity before. Ie housing

Funny thing too, about the announcement to promote “arts and entertainment“ in KW.
This seems to be right out of Tory’s old handbook for Toronto!

In ON, following the push to return to workplaces, with no added precautions about masking or illness and lack of improved air ventilation, the workers are coming to work with Covid and causing other workmates to become ill. Repeatedly.

"COVID-19 continued to cause about the same number of monthly work absences year-round as occurred during peak influenza months, a team that includes Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) researchers has found."

Source: archive.li/z10Zl

A news article from Medical Xpress dated October 20, 2025, titled “Post-pandemic COVID-19 linked with high numbers of workforce absences and exits.” The word “Post” is crossed out and replaced in red text with “Ongoing.” Below the headline, an image shows a woman in a blue sweater holding a tissue to her nose, appearing sick.

Sorry that you are dealing with such pain. Sometimes mine were triggered by the weather system, more likely by foods like chocolate, cheddar cheese and coffee, and most often were tied to my menstrual cycle. Hopefully your cause is the latter, and you will gain welcome relief after menopause.

The squirrels know something is afoot weather wise! 🐿️❄️ They have been busy hoarding sunflower seeds and gathering nuts since very early fall 🍁
These two beautiful trees harbour four large squirrel nests, hidden by the colourful leaves.

Remember Ford saying “God bless them”, putting up highway signage to Ottawa and refusing to oust the perpetrators.

Wise words. We need to keep our tax dollars working for us within the now endangered public health system in Ontario. Hospitals are being disassembled, doctors disrespected, and patients deprived of the health treatments they need. There is no oversight for the private clinics ...

Ford has been stealthily dismantling OHIP big time and both patients and doctors suffer. The list of lost benefits is long. Our public health dollars “not” at work.
