One of the fun things about #ldnont in the federal election is how different the ridings are, even considering that 3 are urban and 2 are urban-rural.

I'm still reasonably confident the NDP will retain Fanshawe, but what should be a slam-dunk riding is a nail-biter.

"A new Tesla Dealership is being opened in London, Ontario at the corner of Wonderland and Southdale. We are meeting at the South end of Wonderland past Bradley on April 12th at 1 PM to protest. We want to send a strong message that we do not support a company whose owner is opposed to Canadian sovereignty...."

PLEASE BOOST!

Lots of good murals in #ldnont, but I’m always awed by this one on the side of The Grand.

I haven't been posting or boosting very much lately.

Some of it is just depression, a cycle for me. Some is just not being used to keeping up with social media.

Also I've been busy with LOAF, going to local leftist meetings, meeting people, making connections.

And I have another project or two in the works. One less political social site for the barely social, and a little party planning! And maybe a https://pixelfed.org/ for #FreePalestine ?

Uh oh. Looks like my partner is going to have to meet me at the Ottawa train station tonight with my boots and coat in hand. I'll try to convince the warmer weather to follow me from #ldnont

It was nice to meet other leftists at the anti-capitalist social in #LdnOnt today!

"Let's think outside the box," says #LdnOnt councillor S. Lehman.

Seriously? Increasing dependency on cars is the exact OPPOSITE of thinking outside the box. Lehman & Rahman need to give their heads a shake.

So I was on CBC Radio this morning talking about why the city of #ldnont needs to stop using X/Twitter and it seems to have gotten some traction. I don’t necessarily want to be the face of this movement, but I’m glad we’ve got people talking about it now.

If anyone is interested, I wrote a letter to my councillor and the mayor of #ldnont to ask them to get off of X/Twitter: https://www.inthemargins.ca/london-stop-using-twitter

Ontario premier Doug Ford made a special trip to my city, during his reelection campaign, to tell the police and their supporters that he literally wants to kill more people. That there was even "sparse" clapping tells you everything you need to know about the people in charge here.
