@ploegette @JohnFraserOS I have plenty of gay friends. They didn't 'hide' or 'feel like they didn't fit' because there wasn't a flag flying outside of their school. They DID fit because we made sure that the bullies were put in their place. Action, not symbolism.

@Guardboy62 @JohnFraserOS How is it the wrong venue? This is the time when kids are discovering their orientation. I had female friend who knew they were different by grade 5. They had crushes on girls instead of boys. Why should they have to hide and be made to feel like they don't fit.

The Pride flag is a symbol of inclusivity and our commitment to stand against hate. It’s 2023 - it should be a standard. It’s important that all students in Ontario feel safe and welcome in their schools. I encourage the Minister to intervene on this important issue.

@JohnFraserOS The pride flag has nothing to do with inclusivity. It represents a very specific group. Fly it at home if you like. The Canadian flag is the only flag that should be flown at schools. How about teaching kids math and language skills and stop using them as pawns for adult grief.

@buzzerilla Nope, never heard 'aboot' up here. Only ever heard it when Americans say it to describe us.

What are the differences between Americans and Canadians? The answers are funnier than you'd imagine. 🤣

I see our fearless Prime Minister is putting money into discussing an idea about forming an idea to come up with an idea for job creation. We're such amazing risk takers on the world stage. 🙄

@elonmusk 3 months severance. Certainly more than I've ever been offered when caught up in restructuring. And lots of jobs out there too. It's never great to be laid off but former Twitter employees have been given a decent springboard for recovery. Business is business.

Regarding Twitter’s reduction in force, unfortunately there is no choice when the company is losing over $4M/day. Everyone exited was offered 3 months of severance, which is 50% more than legally required.

The Michaels have been detained in China for over 2 years now and our government's plan is to start a 'dialogue' and sign some papers. Not a wonder we're seen as sheep on the world stage.

@PonokaNews One step further, we could dig a mote and fill it with Alberta crude. And the Americans will pay for it. :)

@JPTasker @CBCNews I hope people realize by now that soap-and-water is at LEAST as effective as hand sanitizer. Just not as handy when you're out and about.

Canada Goose and Stanfield's, among other clothing manufacturers, will make some PPE like gowns. Trudeau says they've signed purchase agreements for millions of masks - but also hand sanitizer.

The prime minister will be up shortly. We're expecting some sort of announcement on the domestic manufacturing of ventilators — the medical devices that those gravely ill with COVID-19 depend on to help them breathe. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

@BoseService Hi. I had a set of SoundSport Free buds replaced due to L side failure. The new buds demonstrate hard latency of 1 sec or more for videos or gaming. S/W upgrade didn't help. My wife has a pair that is fine. My buds SN: 074801Z91367511AE. Orig purchase Aug 29, 2019.

Nice to know all is well after yesterday's storm.

It's tough being away from home while watching a hurricane move in on your house.

One step closer to the robots taking over - and us carbon lifeforms retiring permanently! twitter.com/WIRED/status/6…

Looking fwd 2 another tickle fight with the grand-babies. :)

Finishing the Edmonton project tonight. That's both Calgary & Edmonton major projects and demos behind us. Miss my old stomping grounds. :(

@Aschmig84 Hey - haven't talked to you in, like, DAYS! What's up?

...and some time to see the grandkids. Sweeet!

Prepping for the Alberta trip... Calgary for a week of gauging work and Edmonton for roadway culvert inspection.
