Getting to know what matters to my neighbors...

If you were in Congress, what are the most important policies you'd want to enact?

What are you most disappointed with about the way the government has been handling things lately (during both the Trump years and the Biden years)? What are you happy with or hopeful about?

Would really appreciate sincere answers 🙏🏻 I'm a bit of hermit so started to wonder how similar or different I am to other folks in my area. Thank you.

Use of technology and AI in schools

In the US, there seems to be a bit of a crisis of declining literacy rates among school graduates and students (probably many contributing issues, but excessive use of technology in schools and the use of AI for cheating on homework are 2 major ones).

Is this also the case in Canada, or are things a bit more stable in terms of the quality of public education?

Baby proofing with cats

Needing some advice... Trying to figure out what a reasonable end goal is for baby proofing.

Context: baby is 10 months old and definitely in the "crawl and pincer grasp everything right into the mouth" era. We have a 3 bedroom house, and 3 cats. Two out of the 3 bedrooms have litter boxes in them (there's another litter box in the laundry room). The bedroom without a litter box is the baby's room and it's the only room we don't allow cats at all.

So far, we've focused our baby proofing efforts mainly on the baby's bedroom and the living room / dining room. We're kind of at a loss for how or if it's possible to baby proof litter boxes, so we haven't really babyproofed those rooms at all, we just supervise closely when baby is there (and she rarely is).

I need a reality check and advice on whether we should be babyproofing as much of the house as possible including the other bedrooms, and if so how to handle the litter box areas... Folks with 1-2 year olds - do your toddlers go everywhere in the house, or are some areas off limits? If something is off limits, or only with supervision, what's your reasoning there?
