nevHey <a href="https://bananachips.club/tags/Toronto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Toronto</a>, where were you on Friday, March 21? If you were:- on the Via train from London to Toronto in the morning - in the Pizzeria Libretto at University & Adelaide in the afternoon - on the Via train from Toronto to London at night you *may* have been exposed to <a href="https://bananachips.club/tags/measles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#measles</a>! More specific details, plus what symptoms to watch for, here: <a href="https://www.toronto.ca/news/toronto-public-health-advising-residents-of-potential-measles-exposure/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.toronto.ca/news/toronto-public-health-advising-residents-of-potential-measles-exposure/</a>P. S. if you're not sure if you've got the MMR (measles, mumps, & rubella) vaccine or not, you can get a blood test—OR you can just get the vaccine, doubling up won't hurt you. <a href="https://bananachips.club/tags/news" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#news</a>

nevSo in March 2023(?), Tumblr user fleshdyke (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230913091647/https://www.tumblr.com/fleshdyke/711416276490321921/thats-because-i-lied-about-this" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://web.archive.org/web/20230913091647/https://www.tumblr.com/fleshdyke/711416276490321921/thats-because-i-lied-about-this</a>) claimed that public bathrooms are free in Canada because "two gay men got arrested for fucking in a public bathroom but they argued since you had to pay for it it was a hotel and it was fine". User hieronymus-botch called them on this, and fleshdyke admitted they made it up. In March 2025, Mastodon user <a href="https://twoot.site/@TicklishHoneyBee" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@TicklishHoneyBee</a> repeated the false claim with no source.You may be interested in learning some real history about Canada's indecency laws against homosexuality, and about public toilets!
