As someone who lives near the Allan Gardens encampment in Toronto, if you walk past it late at night you see all these flickers of light through the tent fabric - like little fireflies. It's meth pipes. They are lighting up meth pipes.

As proof, here is a statement from the very frustrated hard-left aligned councillor in my ward about the homeless encampment. Yes many people take the help, but yes many people choose to be homeless.

Brigaded up-votes are almost as harmful as brigaded down=votes. Down-votes also keep out the trolls until a critical mass of trolls has been reached. Hopefully there are more advanced methods in the future.

The relative difficulty to sign up will be a deterrent to most people. Every other social network has you up in seconds. This needs to be streamlined.

I'm missing some o the features, hoping they will come in time.

At least this sets a good precedent - that what Ford did was illegal.

Considering the 22 billion in "excess" funds they've accumulated according to the Financial Accountability Office, it seems like they are intentionally sabotaging the public health care system. Conservatives seem to love supply and demand when it suits them, but also underfund nurses when we need more nurses. How's that make sense?

I would rather they pay nurses properly and fund public healthcare. I can't help but cynically interpret this as a "war chest" for a future re-election spending spree.
