Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I had to renew my health card and Ontario Photo Card this week. Since you can renew a lot of these things online now if you don’t need a new photo (thanks, Covid), I thought I’d give it a try. I had a picture taken last time I was in and I haven’t moved or …

Thanks to one handy website (the TL;WR weekly Waterloo Region events guide), I’ve just discovered another handy website, kw concerts.ca. There’s a lot of music around here, happening in places big and small. This is one person’s attempt to gather up as much of it as possible in one place so that it’s easy to …

Well, we voted. The experience was, to put it mildly, a complete clown show. Let’s break down what happened, shall we? The nice fellow at the registration table had no idea what an audio voting machine was or even if they had one. This in spite of the fact that it was clearly stated in …
