A city councillor in Pickering is calling herself a “modern-day slave” after council voted to dock her pay for 30 days following an investigation by the city’s integrity commissioner.

Coun. Lisa Robinson made the comment in a post on Facebook on Tuesday.

Robinson’s remarks followed a ruling by the integrity commissioner which found that her decision to identify three citizens by name in a Facebook post in which she announced that her annual Halloween event for charity would be cancelled amounted to a “bully tactic” which showed “blatant disregard for the wellbeing of others.”

Council voted to have me work for free for the next 30 days for a ‘sarcastic remark’ on my personal FB post. I am now a modern day slave,” Robinson said in the Tuesday post.

Someone needs to explain to this white girl that having a month's pay docked for encouraging harassment of citizens she represents as a city councillor is not the same as fucking slavery.

Also there already is modern-day slavery in Canada, Lisa, and it's the prison system. Slavery is not you losing 30 days' pay for being an asshole.

A 63-year-old man has been charged after allegedly damaging a Palestinian flag in Pickering on Tuesday.

Durham police said they were initially called to the Finch Avenue and Brock Road area around 6 p.m. for reports of an armed person.

An unknown man allegedly entered the driveway of a home, ripped a Palestinian flag off a vehicle and left a note with an offensive message.

“When the homeowner confronted the male, a struggle ensued, and the victim suffered a minor injury to his hand from the suspect’s key,” police said.

Witnesses stepped in and restrained the man before calling the police. Shortly after, officers arrived and arrested the man without incident. [...]

Ducking under Liverpool Road overpass, GO Transit GP40TC 9807 trails a westbound 3-car consist of Hawkers (with cab car 9855 leading) that has just departed Pickering GO Station, and is heading through the plant at "Liverpool" on CN's Kingston Subdivision. As GO was still in its infancy, Pickering was the easternmost station on its initial Oakville-Pickering Lakeshore corridor, and the GO Sub didn't exist yet. The track branching off to the right on the incline is CN's York Sub, part of the "Toronto Bypass" project that helped divert CN freight traffic around Toronto and made a new GO commuter service possible. September 1971

We don’t really have an opinion on where, in the Toronto area, a large complex of baths should be built ― although we’re all for it as a general proposition. Sybaritic luxuries should be available to everyone! But if it is built anywhere, it should be heated by economical, emissions-free nuclear energy. We suggest hot water brought from Pickering.

So…I’m a technical person and like stated facts/statements to be exact. It’s one of my many autism traits.

When Shawn says he’s from Toronto, it bothers me. Yes, he lives there now, but he did not grow up in Toronto. He didn’t go to school in Toronto. His childhood home is not in Toronto. He’s from Pickering. Pickering is part of the GTA (Greater Toronto Area), but it’s technically not Toronto. It’s its own city and everything. It’s MAYBE a half hour drive from Toronto 🤷🏻‍♀️ That’s.still.not.Toronto.

I get WHY he says he’s from TO and not Pickering most of the time….unless you’re from Ontario or really know Canadian geography, the average person isn’t going to know where Pickering is. It’s just easier to say the city that 99.9% of people are familiar with.

But it bugs me and like it shouldn’t because at the end of the day, does it really matter? 😂 But the guy is a Pickering native, not a Toronto native.

Like come on. Let’s get the facts straight, Mr. Mendes 😅

24th June 2022-Trip on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from Goathland to Pickering, Goathland Viewpoint, Thornton-le-Dale, the cottage and a local walk 

I enjoyed seeing the crane fly in the first picture in this photoset in my bedroom in the cottage before bed last night and again today, I do like these and its one of a few flies to see in the cottage this week. A slightly longer post tonight perhaps rather than split into different parts as the day panned out with short bits I wrote about different places that when I wrote up on the way back to the cottage from further afield places all fitted into one but some things this evening I wrote about a fair bit but just felt like keeping it as one post. 

We did something a bit different for our last full day in Yorkshire and went into Goathland and rode the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to Pickering and back. It was a lovely relaxing thing to do and was really interesting to ride a vintage train, one that we had seen coming through the valley when at Fen Bog Nature Reserve yesterday. And there was some stunning moorland, woodland and boggy scenery on the journey which was so beautiful to see adding to a stellar set of views admired this amazing week away and it was a wonderful way to enjoy this. I took the second and third pictures in this photoset of views from the train. 

I spotted some interesting wildlife on the journey including Grey Wagtail in a stream, Roe Deer in a field, Woodpigeon, Buzzard, a wet female Pheasant in the rain which was interesting, Herring Gulls and it was nice to see Blackbird, Swallows seen well and House Martin with a nest yet again this week at Goathland station. It was also great to see two butterflies quickly here I believe Small White and Painted Lady and I saw moths on the journey too. I also enjoyed seeing Sheep and cattle both with young from the train.

There were a delightful array of flowers at all stations passed on the journey including foxgloves, and on the journey it was brilliant to see bits of the landscape painted pink by foxgloves. It was also nice to see yellow iris, red campion, herb-Robert, honeysuckle, lots of nice roses, some poppies, cornflower and others in a nice wild grass patch, broad-leaved clover, fields covered in white clover, hogweed and many other flowers on the journey which looked so beautiful. There was also what looked like rosebay willowherb at Goathland station.

We then had a brief walk at Goathland Viewpoint car park where we came on Sunday, with the sun emerging after a shower, slightly misty scenes of the shower leaving us and dramatic sky scenes there were nice moody views. I took the fourth picture in this photoset of one of the views. I enjoyed seeing Linnet, seeing and hearing Skylark I believe, seeing Pied Wagtail again this week not something I am seeing a lot of at home lately, Woodpigeons and sheep on this walk, as well as Small Heath butterfly briefly I believe, a nice moth and a beautiful common green lacewing a great find on the moor an insect I have seen before and did really enjoy seeing its so pretty and intriguing which I took the fifth picture in this photoset of. Flowers I liked seeing here was self-heal, roses, possibly milkwort, bits of bell heather in purple flower, tormentil, white clover and more lovely heath bedstraw here. We also saw some great bits of lichen on the moor which looked a pretty green and red this was great to find too I took the sixth picture in this photoset of. It was nice to see a steam train coming through here this afternoon too.

We had a brief stop at Saltergate Car Park to look over and take pictures of a smashing piece of moorland scenery the first we saw of the North York Moors National Park’s beauty when coming here the three times whilst away which has been great. The area it overlooks is Levisham Moor and Hole of Horcum. As the sun had really we come out we called into the beautiful village of Thornton-le-Dale again on the way back to the cottage a very pleasant stopping place on journeys this holiday, where we enjoyed another ice cream and brief look at the nice pond and wooded area as well as the charming village and stream, getting nice views of House Sparrow, lots of Mallards, some foxgloves and other flowers. I seem to recall seeing some black medick at some point today but can’t quite remember where I am pretty sure it was in the moors. I did enjoy seeing poppies, a notable amount of Buzzards and a House Sparrow with I believe food in its beak on journeys today.

With the sun very much out by the time we got back to the cottage we had a walk through the village of Kilham where we have been based this week and down some footpaths which took us into some fields and it was a really great bit of typically Eastern English and indeed British flat countryside which did look so beautiful in the strong evening sunlight. I enjoyed seeing All Saints Church a beautiful sight driving by through the week on the way to paces which was nice. I probably should have done this local walk around the cottage earlier its just been such a busy week with so many places we went and so much seen. This is the sort of local walk for the holiday on holidays before I have done or first done on the first evening or morning but there was something so nice about doing it on the last night, a great sign off to the lovely area we stayed in to allow us to visit the wider area and chance to embed myself into it a bit more. I took the ninth picture in this photoset of a view on the walk. 

It was a great walk of flowers too as I saw my first great willowherb of the year which I took the tenth and final picture in this photoset of, a beautiful flower I love seeing in summer and its my first of the year so this feels like a great moment. I’ll be interested to see if they’re out at home and if not how long it takes as its maybe a bit ahead for flowers up here. I also saw and photographed pineappleweed another I’d not yet seen at home this year but have seen a fair bit of this week and a purple poppy great flowers to see too. I also saw some lovely green alkanet my first for a little bit. On the walk and at the cottage Swift and House Martin seen once again were great sightings and I saw Woodpigeon well on the walk and I seem to recall Starlings flying over a common garden bird at home that I’d not seen here yet. I also admired the many roses at the cottage again tonight taking the seventh and eighth pictures in this photoset of them. There were nice sky scenes tonight from the cottage. 

I don’t know whether I’ll have any photos or sightings to share/mention before we head home tomorrow so I’ll do my closing thoughts of the holiday now, what a fantastic week! It was so wonderful to spend time in a gorgeous, friendly, welcoming and wild part of the country in most glorious sunny and warm weather most of the time. At its core it allowed us a luxury of a second seabird spectacle experience this year which I loved, birds very close to my heart and some of my very favourites which was breathtaking. Birdwatching wise we also saw a very good supporting cast of star species on the days away with a few more year ticks than expected all the year ticks together including a bird I’d not seen for years, one it’s never a given I’ll see in a year and one that was crucial to my year as well as one amazing new species for us. The holiday was very useful for seeing butterflies too which was amazing and I enjoyed mammals, moths, flowers and more so much this holiday too. We got to take in such amazing scenery between the dramatic coast and vast moors and more in between. It was a precious relaxing time away and I loved it, it was another brilliant cottage to stay in also I was very happy to stay here. A key week in my summer and year for sure.
