And just to confirm. I post under my own name and I run an accounting business. I stand by and support everything I post on this account.

Congestion pricing is a heckuva street safety strategy www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

If tax law were actually simple, there wouldn’t be an entire industry built on explaining it poorly on Instagram. I teach several law classes on bad social media tax law and estate planning advice, because it is a great (and fun) way to illustrate so many important concepts.

Remember when Doug Ford tried to get rid of the last shreds of rent control a little while ago and we yelled at him so much he was like "Whoops who said that, couldn't be me" and backed down? We should be doing that all the time when they pull that type of fuckery

Happy new year. Remember to look at your TD1 form and fill it out if anything material has changed in your tax life that affects your withholding and file it with your employer www.canada.ca/content/dam/...

2025 Headline of the Year nominee (November)

This is a model for what actual masculinity should be. Men don’t need to spend more time in caves beating their chests with other men; they need to take their daughters to a meaningful thing and talk to them about it. Relatedly I think the biggest cure for toxic masculinity is platonic women friends

Every so often a judgment comes along that quietly rewrites the rules while pretending nothing has changed. R. v. Jerlo is one of those decisions... https://loom.ly/MfPjkp0

Christianity absolutely requires you to welcome immigrants. No exceptions. No “if they follow the law.” No “if they contribute economically.” No exceptions. Welcome them. Treat them as a citizen. Love them.

Motion to extend weekend until Christmas.

Now ask the police chief if we can reallocate funding from the police budget to whoever should be doing mental health calls instead.

Them: A figgy pudding is a steamed pudding. Me: Yes, it's held in very high regard.

Sunset over the rooftops.

[bookstore] customer: can you tell me where the do it yourself section is? me: you are not off to a good start

It's so fucked up to have been a kid during the D&D is the devil freakout and the Tipper Gore dirty lyrics freakout and live to see the teen suicide machine get such a pass.

And $1,200 for a family of three to round trip to Toronto

Yeah, definitely not travelling to the US while this regime is in power and for a good while afterwards. Even when/if that happens, the administration of the country is fundamentally broken and it will be a generation before it's sorted out.

Ontario: F And yet we remain absolutely allergic to holding Fun Uncle Doug to account for anything.

A day of #benchslaps. The uptick in judges questioning the presumption of honest dealing from this Republican admin.’s crony appointees is heartening.

Mark Carney built a reputation on linking economic instability with climate inaction. Now he’s made a deal with the very industries driving the crisis. This isn't Canadian leadership, it’s cowardice disguised as pragmatism. My op-ed for the @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

For my councilor: @tkavanaghbayward.bsky.social

Every Ottawa politician who is contemplating a back-to-office plan should be sentenced to a week of commuting at least 10km to and from downtown during rush hour and then report back

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

This is an American patriot.

HOMELESSNESS IS NOT A DRUG PROBLEM IT'S A HOUSING PROBLEM I'm so sick of y'all in my mentions with this talking point, just stop. PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD RENT. Half of renters are paying over 30% of their income on rent, another quarter are paying over 50%!!! People need homes they can afford!

The Ford government is just malevolently stupid. Making up a rule that only medical students who went to high school in Ontario get priority placements is just so relentlessly dumb and drives away the future doctors we need.

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

For my MP: @anitavandenbeld.bsky.social A country that threatens our sovereignty is not a reasonable trading partner, especially where military equipment is concerned.

Brazil’s former Dictator Bolsonaro will begin serving his 27 year prison sentence for plotting a coup in his country. If only Merrick Garland had gotten the job done when we had the chance and sent the orange felon and his insurrectionists to jail where they belong. Scumbag.

Legit cheaper to fly.

$1,200 economy for Ottawa to Toronto on Via for 3 people. What the actual fuck?

If only the pros outweighed the cons.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?
