Avez-vous fait votre ménage du printemps? Il n'est pas rare de retrouver des objets, anciens ou non, à divers stades de détérioration, mais avant de les jeter, le Repair Café offre de leur donner un second souffle.

Que ce soit des vêtements, des jouets ou des appareils électroniques, les bénévoles de l'organisme Repair Café s'activent à réparer les objets abîmés au cours d'une série d'événements à travers la ville, gratuitement.

The U of T encampment just held a press conference and eloquently told them to piss off, and legally they are in the right because in Ontario Doug Ford made free speech on campus a government issue so YES folks! The Charter applies:

The White Swan of Niagara (2022)

I think it goes without saying that anyone who visits Toronto and enjoys natural wonders should visit it was definitely the highlight of my trip to back in 2022. I desperately wanted to capture something that wasn't the 'standard' shot though. This is what I came away with, and I'm quite pleased with it. Really, you wouldn't necessarily know it's location without the title.

An ice covered rock stis at the bottom of a waterfall engulfed in mist. Birds fly above.
A long exposure of the falling water of Niagara Falls.

@geoff_eg @skry really very nice. They have a quiet, mystical quality that’s timeless.

Hope’s documents, from her citizenship certificate to her original , listed her country of birth as South Africa. However, when the family went to renew her passport, the records of the Immigration, Refugees & system didn’t match.

“Someone at IRCC recorded on her internal record that she was born in Swaziland, not South Africa... It was an error in their system.”

@msquebanh When I was a child I don't think Swaziland was recognized by anyone as an independent nation. I figured this was all cleared up after South Africa changed and dropped apartheid. So this should be a simple fix.

@msquebanh my personal opinion is that the difference between governments and street gangs is scale.

@Beltliner403 I recall that they even have a little puff of powdered sugar from between the 'stick' and the wrapper to really get your cigarette training going.

I am volunteering with a local registered charity as 'the tech guy', you know how it is.

They need laptops for the kids. They have a little donated 3d printer, but no computer to prepare print files. I can't really teach software development and 3d printing without student laptops, right?

I am searching for donations and options.
Do you have a laptop to donate?
Do you have any suggestions?

Boosts welcome, pings of sympathetic Torontonians even more welcome.

Thank you!

Senior cop, Supt. Stacy Clarke, says she helped Black officers cheat to fight structural

In her explanatory letter to professional standards, she wrote: “I’ve had to prove myself over and over to all the naysayers and doubters who believe my ascent through the ranks is solely due to the colour of my skin. I’ve had to jump through hoops that were created just for me.”

My colleague Mitchell & partner just escorted a family of lost geese to the lake.

Safely navigating 2km of downtown took 2 hours.

At one point, police stepped in to block traffic.

Strangers jumped in to help too.

He jokes: at @citizenlab we don't just help humans!
