@commonst Perhaps your neighbours are figuring out that Dr Strauss is supported by Mr Musk. 
Also measles and public health. Who wants their MP and possibly Canada's next Minister of Health to be anti-science??

We have Ellen Papenburg running for the Animal Protection Party in #Kitchener too! It was touch'n'go for a while - she was on the APP website when the election was called, but then disappeared. Now she's listed on the Elections Canada website, but still not on the APP site.
#WaterlooRegion peeps can follow all the excitement at https://poliblog.jonkman.ca/Poliblog-Elections/2025-Federal-Election/index.html
There are still some unconfirmed candidates who say they're running...

#BikeNite A1: Posting from rural north end of #WaterlooRegion in Ontario.
I go to the city, #Kitchener once a week, 25km (15mi) or so. Biking takes just over an hour to get there, more like 90 minutes to come back (uphill, tired). The bus/LRT takes just over an hour either direction. I've never tried walking. Driving is about 25 minutes.
I find a good estimate for travel time is: walking = 3x bike or transit; biking = transit; bike or transit = 3x driving.

Oh hey, we just got a power outage for I think the second time in 8 years at this house.

Snow, then ice pellets, now freezing rain in #Kitchener today. Later this evening we are going to have higher temperatures and buckets of rain. What? No locusts? 
On the positive side, we’ve still got power, and not everyone in Ontario does.

@GeriAQuin Mike Morrice's decision to vote against the Emergencies Act addressing the illegal blockades and occupations, particularly in #Ottawa may be endangering his seat.
#Kitchener Centre is no longer listed Green Party SAFE - now listed as a Toss Up with the Liberals.
Edited to clarify Mr Morrice's vote
Hey
#Ontario friends,
A reminder for those voting in #Kitchener South-Hespeler on April 28th:
#Poilievre's candidate Matt Strauss, is the doctor who said he'd rather give his kids #Covid-19 than give them food from McDonald's. He then got Elon Musk's help to fund his lawsuit against Queen's University, who had reprimanded him for his public criticism of health measures implemented during the Covid-19 pandemic.
CBCQueen's University responds to $600K lawsuit from controversial doctor Matthew Strauss | CBC NewsQueen's University and the head of its medicine department are firing back at Dr. Matthew Strauss — a controversial, former acting medical officer of health in southern Ontario. They filed a statement of defence in response to Strauss' $600,000 lawsuit against them over his 2021 resignation.
Kitchener folks, is A Second Look bookstore home? Did they move? Just drove by and their storefront is vacant and up for rent. I hope they're still going. @waterlooregion #KitchenerWaterloo #kitchener

Well, since the CPC candidate who’s challenging the LPC incumbent in my riding is Dr Matt effing Strauss — fired by Queen’s University med school, anti-vax, COVID better than Happy Meal, founding member of the Great Barrington Declaration brigade…the idea of him being the federal minister of health, or even the health critic in opposition, is truly frightening. ATM, our riding is polling as Liberal *leaning*. WTF? This choice should not be difficult.
