Anyone… and I mean ANYONE want to hire my #Canadian wife in the United States? We’ll go anywhere.

I need to get back home, and as quickly as possible.

A green card application for us could take 12-20 months. A work visa would be ideal. She is Master’s level educated, works in #Banking w/ #Tech and #ProjectManagement experience.

I am chronically ill and need help asap.

Boosts appreciated.

Great to see that the Ottawa Public Library has 28 CO2 monitors that people can check out and borrow to verify ventilation in various spaces they visit. If you live in Ottawa these are now available if you want to try one out ( https://cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ottawa-library-carbon-dioxide-detectors-borrow-1.6678651 ).

Climate policy that relies on a shift to #ElectricCars risks entrenching existing inequities. Among MANY reasons to conclude that “better cars” alone won’t get us where we need to be, and in fact create/continue many issues & challenges. Fewer cars, less driving, more choices & better cities are all badly needed.

Today Ontario New Democrats #MaritStiles and I joined #CrystalQuartz, a drag artist who has been targeted by hate groups, to show love and support for 2SLGBTQ+ Ontarians. Thank you #Hamilton for the groundswell of love you showed her ⁠— ensuring a full house of allies turned out. #OnPoli #lgbt #lgbtq #2SLGBTQIA #ndp #Ontario #drag

I got laid off 2 weeks before xmas. If anyone is hiring let me know! I’m a tech!

“Using data from 35 million traffic stops, we show that the probability that a stopped driver is Black increases by 5.74% after a Trump rally. The effect is immediate, specific to Black drivers, [lasting], and is not justified by changes in driver behavior.” Study: Grosjean et Al (2022), The Quarterly Journal of Economics:

Never forget, electric cars are here to save the car industry, not the planet.

MILAN has approved a £200 million plan to create a new 750km network of bike paths linking 80% of the city to bike paths, & connect the city to surrounding areas. The goal is to achieve a 20% modal shift to biking by 2035.
Strategy & leadership.

Ontario has expanded Paxlovid eligibility without adequately announcing it today.

Please communicate this expanded eligibility to anyone near or dear to whom this applies.

(Had CMOH Kieran Moore not been hiding, this would have been communicated more effectively today.)

Do you REALLY want to know how your city could transform public transit virtually overnight to dramatically increase ridership? The answer is to change car lanes to dedicated bus-only lanes so buses won’t be stuck in car traffic, & run more buses more frequently on those lanes. You SHOULD INVEST more in transit to get those additional buses, but in the immediate term, reallocate near-empty buses from low density, low ridership areas to run them often on the bus-only lanes. #cities #publictransit

Just went on BBC radio Bristol @BBCRB@twitter.com to talk about ambulance waiting times, A+E waiting times, the problems in social care and the crisis facing our NHS

I don't know why this crisis isn't front page news in every newspaper
