Hey Toronto! Can we also get advanced warning for ttc fare inspectors?? Ohhh I see, they’re random so we always pay just in case. Got it. So then this is just a less important, less consequential law, right? Ohhhhhh, good point it’s not bc it makes people fucking DIE.

not much to say anymore except to just keep pointing out that Israel is brutally slaughtering people in Gaza every single day; we've protested, we've voted, we've signed open letters, we've written reports, and still: the govts with the power to stop Israel's slaughter refuse to act

Deeply disappointing. Councillor @diannesaxe.bsky.social is caving to a handful of businesses and advocates who’ve run a campaign of dishonesty and intimidation. www.thestar.com/news/gta/cou...

Very disappointed with my councillor @diannesaxe.bsky.social on her proposal to exempt the Bloor to Dupont stretch of Bathurst from #RapidTO lanes. We must NEVER EVER EVER compromise with car-brains when it comes to improving streets for all road users! #shame #TOpoli www.thestar.com/news/gta/cou...

A few days ago, I personally emailed Canada’s foreign affairs department to seek comment about the government’s response to the genocide in Gaza. They responded. Here's what they said:

Too many people stuck in traffic? Nothing some more people stuck in traffic won't fix. - cities for some unknowable reason.

If you believe that home prices don't need to go down to restore affordability, then show your math (which this piece fails to do). Tell us: What rate of income growth, and what mortgage rate, will restore affordability by, say, 2030? Show your work. financialpost.com/re...

Don't let Ford and his cronies divide us. Let's unite for real solutions to our massive congestion and road safety issues. We all want to get home quickly, safely, and with a limited amount of yelling at other humans. By @tomflood.bsky.social

What a sad - likely illegal - outcome. Thanks to all the Councillors who stood up to defend our charter rights to picket and protest including several endorsed by the TYRLC: Councillors Perks, Malik, Moise, Morley, Bravo, Fletcher and Myers.

You really gotta love the Chow Bradford collabo on attacking protests Aside from political opportunism they have another thing in common I guess, no understanding/care of Charter rights and the cost of the legal bills when the City loses this fight.

The Dufferin & Bathurst bus priority lanes are the only way to break the transit death spiral in Toronto. They must happen & the mayor needs to make sure they’re a raging success. Mission critical as future fixes rely on their success. My column this week. Pls read n share.

So: the “Protect Bathurst / Dufferin” astroturf campaign run by Summerhill Market had videos of a guy talking about the neighborhood & RapidTO proposal. Real grassroots feel. Took a screenshot & put it into google image search. Guess what?

The new federal Housing Minister's stated goal for middle-class housing affordability is to keep home prices flat and let wages catch up. We ran the numbers - that would take up to 50 years in some parts of Canada. Read more here: www.missingmiddleini...

If the federal government's position is that we don't need to lower the price of homes for the middle class, then I think they'll need to make some changes to the National Housing Strategy Act.
