@gretared Very nice. I recall doing those in drawing classes without looking at the paper ā tough to do, but got me actually seeing what I was trying to draw.

Doug Fordās legacy starts here:āThe Ontario governmentās appetite to protect the publicās health waned too early, in favour of returning society to ānormal.ā That resonated with the middle- and upper-classes, who were keen to return to their and their childrenās routines. The government used the language of individualism to justify this shift. Gone were sentiments like āwe are all in this together,ā replaced by advice to assess and manage our own risk levels.āhttps://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/exposing-deep-institutional-failures-in-the-covid-19-response-in-canada/article_1a73689d-20d9-53b9-9656-8e6407966b78.html

There was a counter-protest at Kitchener City Hall this morning (as there was in many cities) against hate groups and in support of trans and LGBTQ+ people. Naturally I biked there šIt looked like āour sideā far outnumbered the hateful side. Iāll be curious to see reports on numbers.Organizers had asked that people not take photos, for safety reasons. I asked a small number of peope if I could take photos pf their signs, though, as I wanted to share something here.#WaterlooRegion

My sincere thanks to everyone who favourited/starred the toots in this thread. Though only you and I can see them, they mean a lot. And my sincere thanks as well to the folks who boosted the toots in this thread. Iām grateful that the photos I shared will reach more people. We live in challenging times. And I feel hope when I see the messages and images from people here in the Mastodon corner of the Fediverse.

āItās a shaky foundation to begin with. But look just under the surface, and itās also clear that the networks underpinning support for #1MillionMarch4Children bring together conspiracy theorists in Canada who have been organizing against COVID-19 vaccines, against public education and in service of Christian nationalism for years.ā ā Jackie Wong, writing for @thetyee #NoSpaceForHatehttps://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2023/09/20/Who-Are-1-Million-March-4-Children-Fighting-For

No RSS feed, unfortunately, but any initiative that helps independent Canadian news organizations feels like a great idea.Edit to correct that the RSS feed is available here:https://unrigged.ca/feedThanks @VE2UWY

I edited that earlier post. I usually strip off tracking information when sharing a URL. In this case the original URL was:https://www.unrigged.ca/?ref=readthemaple.comI had stripped it down to https://www.unrigged.caBut then I modified it in my edit to be:https://www.unrigged.ca/?ref=mstdn.caJust in case it helps them collectively see the value in Mastodon š#CanadianJournalism #IndependentNews
