Every day I’m thankful I picked a career in which there’s no reason to be on LinkedIn.

Absolutely fucking lunacy for settlers to uncritically yell about immigration when their ancestors showed up to unceded land when you could just get on a boat and decide to live here. We can talk about the failure of infrastructure, for example, but JFC.

Do you think anti-vax sentiment has only been a problem for the last 5 years?

Just to be clear, you're blaming the spread of measles on our immigration policies?

There are lesser ones but you’ve got the top ones. Really, as long as you hate Irving, that’s all you need to remember.

I live in fear of the day when my car kicks it because I won’t be able to find something of a similar tiny size.

It’s actually spent most of its life as a car for commuting in northern NB in the winter, all weather, to the hospital and this is why I know most people’s claims about needing X large vehicle for driving in the winter are bullshit.

I just don’t like having to deal with large vehicles of any kind in the narrow streets of the city! I drive a sub-compact which oh boy lots of people sure had an opinion on when I bought it in 2017, but it’s an appropriate car for daily driving in the city.
