Pedestrian struck by motorist on Parkside a block from the speed camera that vigilantes kept tearing down that caused ford to remove them from all Ontario. Drive as you wish Ontario. Nobody matters. This is what you voted for.

Oh my heart. Saw @stratfest.bsky.social Anne of Green Gables adaptation by Kat Sandler in spring previews and again tonight in its November post-season extension. I love this play/production and hope it takes off and is produced everywhere. #theatre

So this shows up in my in-box, inviting me to order advance tickets for the 2026 Shaw Festival season in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Except no casting has been announced yet. Actors aren't interchangeable cogs. As a former theatre publicist, the decision to sell before sharing casting seems very odd.

#Halloween night is approaching - make sure costumes aren’t just spooky, they’re safe. Choose bright colours or add reflective tape so kids are visible on the streets. #TurnSafetyOn. https://parachute.ca/en/injury-topic/halloween-safety/

One of my favourite pieces of chamber music is the Mendelssohn Octet. So happy to experience it as the last Stratford Summer Music concert of 2025. Also a new octet work by @jcmi.bsky.social

Lower speeds save lives! A pedestrian hit at 50 km/h is nearly 6x more likely to be killed than at 30 km/h. Let’s advocate for safer speed limits: parachute.ca/ourfutureroads #OurFutureRoads #ParachuteVZ #CYRSW2025

Frost warnings in southern Ontario. I don’t think it will be a killer frost in our garden but pulling in the tomatoes and some nasturtium blooms, just in case. #autumn #harvest

“For 60 years, car advertising has programmed us that driving is freedom, that cars are how we get around, that driving — even reckless driving —is a symbol of status & power. But what if a car marketing vet (aka @tomflood.bsky.social)
used his skills to highlight the insanity of car culture?”

Referring to crashes as “accidents” or claiming that “speed wasn’t a factor” in a crash, are not random language choices. They’re the result of PR campaigns. Listen to this really important interview with @grantennis.bsky.social by @brooklynspoke.bsky.social @thewaroncars.bsky.social on “Dark PR.”
