My friend Nick Craine gave me permission to post this. He's worked as a commercial illustrator for decades. Now his clients have moved to AI. He is building decks. We need creative people who are telling the stories especially now. AI is robbing their talent to maker the rich richer.

Fuck you, AI.

Donald Trump is trying to destroy Canada

Enbridge is trying to convince the Ontario Energy Board is to deny eMerge intervenor status, as they try to keep the City of Guelph's subsidy on their underground gas lines. Time sensitive—by March 5 at 11:59 pm. Only takes a minute to sign this petition—it'll have an impact with enough folks!

57% of Ontario voters didn't want Ford. Yet, Ford can do what he wants for four years. If we had the German with proportional representation, the will of the people would be reflected with an NDP-Liberal coalition. Every election in Canada is proof that we need a new system for elections. #OnPoli
