Well, our idiotic province isn't bargaining with the province's teachers in good faith, so every child in the province is locked out of school for the foreseeable future. However, museum admission was free for kids, and it's the final week of the orca exhibit, so it was a fabulous day for a field trip, taking the bus/LRT there and back, and grabbing lunch at a mall food court.
Since I'm spending the next 3 days at an out-of-town sewing retreat, I did doorknocking with a team last night, meeting apartment-dwellers who were thrilled to be approached. And today, I knocked on the doors in my building. It will be nice to have our future decided, come Monday, but I'll miss having this level of engagement in civic politics.
