Growing an economy is a recipe. Tax cuts are an important ingredient, but not the whole dish. Public education, healthcare, broadband, infrastructure, and stable leadership are needed too. The NDP platform is a plan for a Better Future!

I have a crazy desire to back this Stagetop gaming table. I have 0 use for something like this as we don’t really play enough games but the desire to blow 50 bucks + all the filament and time is very high. #3dprinting kickstarter.com/projects/gut…

Just finished listening to/reading “A Deadly Education” by Naomi Novak. Really an enjoyable story would highly recommend! I also really enjoyed her Temeraire series as well when I read it long ago 📚
