Oh, military gentlemen, they bluster, roar and pray.
Nine sailors on the Nancy, boys, made fifty run away.
The powder in their hair that day was powder sent their way
By poor and ragged sailor men, who swore that they would stay.

Sometimes, if you have an older dog, you'll be halfway through morning walk on a warm fall day and they will decide they want to flop down on a random bit of sidewalk or grass and bliss out for awhile.
If you possibly can, you should sit down on the grass and pet them for awhile.

It's finally happening! We can't wait for the red paint to reach Bloor. And we'll keep fighting until it gets to Wilson.
Special thanks to the thousands of transit riders who wrote in, spoke up, or knocked doors with us this summer to make bus lanes on Dufferin happen!

How is it that we already know so much about the guy who shot 2 national guardsmen this afternoon but we know pretty much nothing about the two guys who tried to assassinate the president months ago?

I will add only that if you need to get urgent information to a vulnerable population without putting them or yourself at risk, the stalls of public toilets are classic graffiti-spots for a reason. Helplines, reproductive rights support, legal resources, know-your-rights ...
Just dropped this elsewhere, so boosting, since the illegal-orders discussion is back in the news: there's some great GI Rights Hotline postcards and leaflets for printing and distributing, but here's one with the absolute basic message and phone number as a label template.
I've seen a bunch of people sharing leaflet and postcard-sized versions of the GI Rights Hotline info, but I haven't seen any templates designed for label printing, so 30 seconds with the Avery template maker made the simplest possible version with the absolute basics (to be seen from a distance).

It would have been nice if someone asked Doug Ford to explain how he plans to order these charity audits given charities are overseen federally by Canada Revenue Agency
Ford says he will audit ‘left-wing radical groups’ opposed to government legislation | Globalnews.ca
Ford's warning came after members of the tenant advocacy group ACORN interrupted the legislature to protest a controversial omnibus bill that shortens some eviction timelines.
