Congestion pricing in NYC has been a policy miracle. It has dramatically reduced air and noise pollution, saved drivers time money and New Yorker lives. There has been a ~50% reduction in injury crashes in the congestion relief zone. Pricing driving delivers better transportation for everyone.

We are not powerless in the face of hate & harassment. We don't have to stand by & watch people get harmed. There are proven ways for every day people to safely intervene & de-escalate - even in public spaces where we're all strangers. Let me teach you. Register: zoom.us/webinar/regi...

To the two men who honked and pointed at me (presumably because of my mask) from the ridiculous lifted pickup truck: You're really not beating the "Leafs have the douchiest fans" allegations. #Leafs #DontNeedYourOpinions

There’s a measles outbreak in the Canadian province of Ontario that’s twice the size of the one in Texas. Over 1000 people are sick. Why isn’t this getting more media attention? People need to be informed of the risk & how to protect themselves. Vaccinate, wear a respirator, isolate when sick.

CP24 reporting TDSB could be forced to close pools, eliminate music teacher positions, unless @fordnation changes funding formula. These cuts could have a devastating effect on kids, communities. More proof of Ford's relentless cuts to public education. Shame! #onted #onpoli

One thing I've really appreciated about Mark Carney is how clear and direct he has been about what the White House is trying to do to Canada with the tariffs. And he's right! It's about taking us over. #MarkCarney #canpoli
