It's Vote Compass time again! If you've always wanted to know which Canadian federal party you should vote for, now is your chance.

I'm disappointed in my result. I seem to have slipped slightly conservative on social issues.

The train station has anti homeless benches. Because it would be a goddamn shame if someone was comfortable.

.Older people don't have to be treated like children or be "sweet".

This is a particular pet peeve of mine, this infantilization of the elderly. I think the idea is to be comforting, but it's often insulting. My dad is blind, not a child.

It was the worst with my father-in-law. He was easily the smartest person I've ever known. Turned down a Rhodes scholarship when he was young. Intimidatingly smart. And to see hospital staff baby talk him was tremendously upsetting.

Treat the elderly like adults, please. It's a dignity thing.

Two dollars to put air in your tires at the local gas station. There's an inflation joke in there somewhere, but I can't find it.

@mentallyalex @RickiTarr EVERYTHING IS FINE AND NOTHING HURTS.

I will also never ride through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in my hair.

There's still a chance for running naked through the shady streets, screaming all the way, however.
