A man in my bystander intervention workshop asked me how to intervene when you see 2 gay people kissing on the bus "because that's harassment to me. It offends my faith and I shouldn't be subjected to that."
Anyway, reason #72752 why you gotta teach it…

I bring a sort of "You can't cut jobs and say it's good for the economy because people being able to buy things is imperative for the economy to grow" vibe to the party that centrists don't really like.

I do quite a bit of media and often get accused of courting it.
But my friends can attest to the fact that I was just walking down the boardwalk with them in Nice, minding my damn business on vacation, when a media crew beelined it straight to me. 💀

As a notorious summer hater, I would like to state for the record that the weather in Ottawa today is PERFECT.
Sunny! Light breeze! High of only 26! 50% humidity! That's my shit right there.
