To my r/Ontario friends and Ontario folks...
Welcome to lemmy.ca, glad you are here!
So I think this place could have more complaining about Doug Ford, high rent, high food prices and inadequate healthcare, talking about deals at No Frills. Also let's see pictures of flowers, animals, buildings, landmarks and other cool things there is to see in this big province.
There isn't much posted yet, so even so much as a picture of a pothole in North Bay would be good enough for now. Let's make this a community r/Ontario could be envious of! Thanks for reading.
I'd be happy to see a more positive attitude in this community than what's seen in the regional subs over on Reddit. All doom and glom gets pretty tiring over time.
Can you be more specific about what you would like to see?
Should we ignore the state of things to post only happy pictures of Ontario?
I do agree that negativity can be toxic but we can't ignore that for many people living in Ontario things are all doom and gloom. It is hard to be positive when your future looks hopeless.
I think making a change in attitude towards constructive criticism would be much more healthy for the poster and for overall discussion in the community. It opens up debate and becomes a driver for engagement.
I certainty disagree that our situation is hopeless. We're clearly seeing a decline in the standard of living we used to take for granted without much thought. There are major challenges that will require reform, but that reform will never happen with a disengaged and despairing electorate.
It's probably going to take a bit but I think at least some of us are here to stay. After all Ontario is "A Place to Grow" right?
Here's a contribution.
Yeah I've been doing the best I can to post 2-3 news articles a day to hopefully kick start some activity. :D
As a self reply, we need some comment drama. Two users arguing over if it's Zed or Zee to boost engagement. :D
You're a f***king dumbass, of course it's Zee, 'Murica all the way baby!!
/s
Zed, because one less 'ee' sound makes my life so much easier when I have to spell things out over the phone 🥲
Honestly, I'd settle for more activity on the game day threads in /hockey, even tho there's only one more game left
Fuck Dough Ford
sorry testing federation
Doug Ford sent me an unsolicited sms about ford fest. I reported him to the government anti spam group. Fuck that guy. How did he even get my number.
