Can't believe we're still debating this.. "First past the post" is ridiculous. It's like of me and my two sisters went out for dinner and I go "who wants McDonalds" and they both go "Not me!" And I say "right, McDonald's it is!".

Motion 86 called on the federal government to establish a citizens’ assembly on electoral reform. It failed to pass in the House of Commons, but more than 10...

When I ruptured my left hamstring in 2020 I was surprised to learn I may need surgery and be on crutches for 6 months.

Everyone teased "you'll get to try out your latest invention!" until I just wanted to smack the next person to crack that joke 😅

They were right of course.

I had been working on Crutchgecko off and on for about 2 years -- an invention to help people manage their crutches using magnets 🧲 and store them together when not in use.

But after my injury, I was surprised to learn what a hassle crutches can actually be!

Dropping them several times a day, was quite literally a pain in the butt.

These are very clumsy and awkward devices, and it doesn't help that they are top heavy. 🩼

Clumsy and dangerous, especially in the stairs where one wrong move can catapult you down the stairs, reminding me of pole vaulting in the 1900's...( only backwards!)

But the thing that bugged me the most was that you could never really let go of them. They tied up my hands and I could never really put them asside without risking dropping them.

That's When I realized "walking with crutches should not have to come at the loss of use of your hands" ✋👌and added the wrist straps.

See the video to learn more, it might be just the thing you needed to regain your freedom!,

Crutchgecko includes wrist straps which let you use your hands without dropping your crutches. The quick release wrist straps included with your crutchgecko...
