Tonight I allowed 3 hours to travel 127km from Toronto's East End to Jarvis ON. After 2 hrs on Lakeshore I had gone 7kms and still not on the Gardiner. I missed my work engagement. And we paid property taxes to take down the Gardiner! #TorontoTraffic #LeadershipMatters

As Toronto drivers grow more frustrated with traffic congestion, it becomes more clear that the three root causes are #1 poorly executed construction projects, #2 just bad driving practices, #2 and this…2 hands in the phone while driving… Do better Toronto!

#Toronto has removed 320 overnight parking spots in the Beach community, creating a #parkingcrisis. @BradMBradford made the motion to reduce parking in the Beach against City staff advice. Why did he do this? Find out more & help fix the problem bit.ly/45Or8rN

#Cosori recalled my model of air fryer - it catches fire! To get a replacement we had to prove we cut the power cord. Instead of a quick replacement, almost 3 mths later they say it's out of stock, but offered a lessor model. #fail #Cosori. Warning - don't buy their products!

Is it just me, or are there way more poor drivers on the roads? Not stopping at stop signs, and failing to use turn signals seem to be the top 2 offences in my neighbourhood. Why are the police not ticketing these drivers, especially in school zones? #tps #baddrivers #toronto

Got notice of air fryer recall from Cosori - had to cut the cord & send photos to prove it so I can get my replacement as quickly as possible. Just been told it will be 6-8 weeks more before I get it. Crappy customer service. Beware of Cosori appliances! #cosori #DoBetter

Yesterday I had a prescription faxed in to my local Shoppers DM. My doc had to re-fax it because SDM claimed they never got it. And got disconnected twice on phone with them. Then they took over 2 hrs to put pills in a bottle. Epic fail SDM. #shoppersdrugmartfail

So what's up with people who wear their mask below their nose indoors? Is it outright defiance? Contempt for being asked to do the right thing? Are others seeing more and more of this too, or is it just me? Come on people, let's all do the right thing! #MasksWork #COVID19
What's the key differences between a PCR and a Rapid Antigen Test? Take a look at this easy read on my LinkedIn post linkedin.com/feed/update/urn… #testing #pcrtest #rapidtest
It felt surreal yesterday to actually be at a convention in person! CHL was chosen to provide event screening and travel testing services this week to the CME Expo for event planners at the MTCC in Toronto. COVID-19 testing makes events safe! #cmeexpo #Toronto
#ontario Science Table reporting downward trend in #COVID19 case counts and positivity rate, but overall testing of the population has declined. The onus will be on employers to develop their own solution to protect staff and the public from outbreaks of the #DeltaVariant
So today in my mailbox I received a glossy non-recycled paper card to celebrate Earth Day. I guess it was the irony someone thought it was a good idea to send out this glossy notice to remind me to make eco-friendly decisions. Good motive, bad delivery. #earthdayfail
