I have to rant into the void for a moment. I have an Adobe CC subscription. I know, there are better tools, but I can't put in the effort to move. So I tried out Adobe Express on mobile since I pay for it all.

Bill 60 passed earlier today.
“We see the risks, and we’re calling out this gaslighting for what it is — an attempt to weaken public oversight and hand critical services to private interests.”
My latest for PressProgress is on Ontario's Bill 60 and why some are concerned that it is paving the way towards water privatization.
