"An Ontario Superior Court judge has ruled in favour of a Mississauga homeowner whose naturalized front garden had become the source of legal turmoil.

Wolf Ruck’s long grass may have appeared as overgrown, but Ruck had intentionally cultivated a pollinator-friendly yard. He is part of the natural gardening community, which prioritizes ecological function over landscaping aesthetics."

My son is in Ontario on Remembrance Day (our name for Armistice Day in Canada) for the first time and he was shocked it wasn’t a public holiday like it is in B.C.

He was disappointed to be in Ottawa, just a few minutes away from the National War Memorial by metro, but couldn’t attend because he has classes today.

I agree with him. It is very strange that this day, of all days, is not a national day.

So instead he rushed through his class so he could at least get to the small ceremony held on campus.

How sad that there is so little time and space made for it in our largest and most populous province.

Even in our nation’s capital.

"Car costs are also baked into almost all the prices we pay: If you take the bus to a suburban shopping mall, the prices you pay include all the costs of the vast parking lot you didn’t use. If you drive to the mall, bus riders subsidize you."

Who mows a swastika into their front lawn? A Nazi, that's who!

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. People know themselves much better than you do. That's why it's important to stop expecting them to be something other than who they are."

To take stock of things here in Ontario...

Under Doug Ford’s leadership the province is in decline.

Transit is awful. Housing is impossible. Healthcare is broken to the point of being completely inaccessible for many Ontarians.

His government has presided over scandals and grifts, and has attracted an RCMP investigation into the Greenbelt scandal.

But we got $200 cheques, a premier in a fun hat, and can buy beer at the gas station now, so it’s all good.
