ICYMI this week ...
A weekly roundup of the news covered at the Daily News podcast
I just got back from Peterborough.
It’s amazing how similar small cities look in Ontario. From the same contractors building the same armouries to straight streets fighting with landscape that never accepted a straight line, it’s been fun bouncing from city to city and seeing how much of them are similar. I met some amazing childcare activists there too — if you’re doing childcare activism, take a look at what Peterborough is building because it might be a good moden for your community to follow!
I received an ourpouring of support this week. Thank you so, so much. It makes plunging back into the abyss of fully and completely freelancing easier.

And in one week, Sandy and I will be in Toronto for a live show. Grab your tickets here.
