Ensuring the Western Fair is accessible for people with disabilities has been a big problem, specifically a decision made last year to begin charging individuals with disabilities entry (which you can read about here). While I fully endorse PWDs paying full fare for entry, I do believe it’s unfair to ask the same of their… Continue reading Western Fair Access Program
Walking is for Sobers
Here’s a sample of Griff’s song. It’s sure to be a chart topper. Be sure to share it with your enemies. P-Strong — Walking is for Sobers (feat Chamillionaire & The Proclaimers) by p-strong
Community Theatre
Have you ever noticed how City Hall seems to always, subtly and not so subtly, pit issues against each other? Oh, they’d love to put more money into the LTC, but those environmentalists just haaaaad to have their compost program. Sorry about your luck little Timmy. If Jeff is ever Mayor, he’s going to stop the… Continue reading Community Theatre
Friends Don’t Let Friends Make Music
Have you ever met one of those people who goes on and on about how they want to learn how to play music and think they’d be a great musician but never do anything to advance their musical skills? Yea, Jeff is one of those people. Tune in next week though to hear Griff’s revolutionary… Continue reading Friends Don’t Let Friends Make Music
Forming a Community
Jeff had a wonderful time this weekend in Ottawa at the Youth Activist Forum. A huge, huge thanks to Chrissy, Dale and Erika for putting on such an amazing conference and a big tip o’ the hat to Citizens with Disabilities–Ontario for making it all possible. Unfortunately, Clara had to work and missed all the… Continue reading Forming a Community
Dishonourable Discharge
You’d be astonished how often a Paratransit bus “won’t see you” despite the fact you are sitting right on the front steps waiting. It’s almost like they never came at all… Also it should be pointed out the exchange Rhett has with the PT operator is only the SMALLEST of exaggerations. Jeff has been told… Continue reading Dishonourable Discharge
Telling Our Stories
Apologies for the late upload, Jeff’s Internet went offline moments before the Vancouver Canucks won last night and hasn’t been back until now. We blame Gary Bettman for this. Anyway, hope you enjoy the comic this week and check back next week for Part 3 of Rhett and Kate’s trip to Heroes.
Waiting
People are often astonished and horrified when they hear just how bad Paratransit really is. Jeff has always said that if all transportation ran this way there would probably be open revolt in the streets. Anyway, tune in next week for part 2 of “A Trip to Heroes.” Also, shout-outs to Heroes, who had a… Continue reading Waiting
Things You Shouldn’t Ask Strangers
We interrupt our regular scheduled program for a story too good to be true. Yep, this actually happened a few days ago in downtown London. While it’s not the first time someone has simply assumed the girl with Jeff must be his nurse, and likely won’t be the last it happens either, it was definitely… Continue reading Things You Shouldn’t Ask Strangers
To The Lovely Business Owners of London
So, we love local businesses. Because we live downtown we frequent them almost exclusively. But we admit we kind of screwed around with them at last weekend’s Stairbomb (pictures of which can be seen here). Most people we talked to were unfazed, bemused or guiltily–but inactively–peeved by our little prank. But we realize some people… Continue reading To The Lovely Business Owners of London
