Looking for a particular dog shot, found a lot of dog jpgs, so am going to post a few. This was taken at a stop along the Cabot Trail, in Nova Scotia. They had made it all the way from New Jersy, so I guess they’re ok, thought that fellow looking at me looks to have seen a thing or two. The human would be a wind break and I guess they could duck down if necessary.
Scarborough is to the east of Toronto. It used to be the boonies, far out of the city, now it is part of the city. And now what used to be affordable housing with lots of space & character has been gobbled up and as houses sell, developers and rich people are making it more and more unaffordable, as now it’s not the boonies, but the ‘burbs. This is an older place along the bluffs (sand cliffs that border Lake Ontario), which I came across accidentally.
In addition to having an owner who funds a charity that funds IDF soldiers currently committing genocide, the Chapters Indigo bookstore chain is also a #unionbuster
I've never had much use for the idea of food banks. People should have adequate incomes, affordable housing and robust public services so that they can afford to eat. This is a particularly sleazy example of the charity industrial complex and this dude is a candidate for city council in the by-election tomorrow in #Scarborough Southwest (#Toronto Ward 20).
“He ran the big lie on Capitol Hill,” #Scarborough said. “Preach about that, Jimmy Swaggart, right? Go to your motel room and start faxing around conspiratorial documents. The guy who led in the #House the attempt to undermine the United States Constitution in an attempt to end democracy. Suddenly, this great prophet, this Jeremiah of our times, went quietly silent
Hey #Toronto! There's a city council by-election taking place on November 30th in the #Scarborough Southwest Ward 20. Kevin Rupasinghe is the candidate of the left.
If you can find some time to volunteer to canvass, do lit drops, phone bank, help in the office, or GOTV on November 30th that would be great!
We have a chance to help shift the balance of power at Toronto City Hall. It's a rare opportunity!
This #solidarity rally with #Palestine is being organized by #Toronto 's Bangladeshi community at 3PM on Saturday...just a short walk from the Victoria Park subway station.
@msquebanh Today there was a small rally organized at the Minister of Defense's home constituency office, while at the same time, local high school students in #Scarborough staged a mass walkout.
Tod Howe was probably a Bronze Age round #barrow, now surmounted by a boundary stone. One of a line of barrows that run roughly alongside the ancient trod known as the Quakers Causeway. It now marks the boundary between Redcar & Cleveland to the north and #Scarborough Districts to the south. Photo by our member John D Hunter.

#Scarborough Southwest city council candidate Kevin Rupasinghe has put together a petition for a dedicated Scarborough busway to be funded immediately given that the SRT is being shutdown and it will be ten years until there is a replacement. Scarborough has been grossly under serviced with transit for years.
"Deliberately grounded on a tiny reef in the #SouthChinaSea, part of an island chain claimed by the two Asian countries, the #BRPSierraMadre is now the unlikely base for a detachment of Filipino marines who stand guard over the atoll, scanning the turquoise waters for Chinese ships." #AyunginShoal#SecondThomasShoal#Philippines
In a statement, the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea (NTFWPS) said #ChineseCoastGuard (CCG) ships used water cannons against the vessels of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (#BFAR) namely Datu Sanday, Datu Bankaw, and Datu Tamblot near #BajoDeMasinloc (#Scarborough Shoal). The three BFAR ships are civilian vessels. #Philippines#SouthChinaSea
The Philippine government said on Monday, February 19, that it would “validate and investigate” reports from Filipino #fisherfolk of their foreign counterparts using #cyanide to fish in #BajoDeMasinloc, a shoal that’s supposed to be a shared fishing ground for several nationalities. #Philippines#WestPHSea#SouthChinaSea
Director of SeaLight, #RayPowell, said that at least four #ChinaCoastGuard vessels (CCG) and 26 “large” Chinese maritime militias are expected to blockade the #AtinIto convoy.
The second civilian supply mission of the Atin Ito coalition will begin on Wednesday morning at #Masinloc town in #Zambales, led by an indigenous vessel serving as the mother boat. #Philippines#WestPHSea
