Really wish the last one said: "Mess a-boot and fine-doot". Or, if we must be Torontonian about it: "Mess About and Find Out". Might you be in the mood to indulge a fan, @TheoMoudakis?

A bit of poetry from the recently-late Andrea Gibson & luckily (for us) present @Joseph_Fasano_ to get through today. Deep breaths. And screaming into the void &/or a pillow. Try to avoid screaming into faces, eh? Ears are sensitive things. Also avoid throwing elbows please.

"We call on the Israeli government to immediately lift restrictions on the flow of aid..." That was nearly 3 days ago @MarkJCarney @AnitaAnandMP. Still, starvation deepens. Do I understand "immediately" differently? When will you act? #Gaza theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…

Say no to Wasag-a-Lago. Wasaga Beach Provincial Park belongs to ALL Ontarians!
