For anyone living or working near #TorontoWaterfront or #QueensQuay, the #TTC is soliciting public feedback on dedicated bus lanes along Queen’s Quay East. This seems like a really easy win for public transit! Plus increased transit use helps solidify the case for the #WaterfrontEastLRT […]

It’s insulting enough that Ford is trying to bribe me with my own money to vote for him, but why mail a physical cheque? They have my direct deposit info. I’ve worked in the banking industry - cheques cost ~$5 versus $0.20 for direct deposit. Plus postage […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Given the need for Ontario to #VoteFordOut, I did a canvass this afternoon in Eglinton-Lawrence for @vgasparro.bsky.social. There is a lot of appetite to get rid of Doug Ford in that riding & I encourage others to volunteer there. Especially if they live in a safe progressive seat. #ONpoli #ONElxn44

We don't have winter elections for a reason, Doug. Ontario: Don't let the snow keep you from voting out Doug Ford. Keep an eye on the weather and have a plan. Chip Ford down to a minority. #UniteTheVote and sign the pledge. act.notoneseat.ca/UnityPledge #ONpoli #NotOneSeat #onelxnDoug

About nonprofits: ▪️ I have tried encouraging NP folks to move to #Mastodon but they usually haven't heard of it. ▪️ Many orgs still host live talks on Meta platforms. 🙄 ▪️ Where are other NP folks so we can strategize migration away from toxic social media? This will not be easy. I […]

[Sorry if you are sick of it, #uspoli] Since this will probably be scrubbed soon enough, I think it is important to name names of who is working for the #MuskCoup #uspoli https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-government-young-engineers/

I like this strategy. I would be great if Mayor Chow or other Toronto leaders could signal the importance of defeating Doug Ford. #onpoli #topoli RE: https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:4tacjwrv6vwkysye7nq32jpv/post/3lgdtrfourm2j

Also - please give me any recommendations for in-person board game meetups in #Toronto. I’m into #strategygames like Catan, Ticket to Ride or Power Grid, but also am fine with simpler party/group games. RE: https://mastodon.social/@daveley/113877970901932335

Does anyone have any open source / #fediverse alternatives to #Meetup? They seem to have gone through a particularly rapid descent into e-shittification. It used to be a great way to explore for new in-person local events.

This is a very maddening. I suspect #Toronto police don’t put a lot of effort to solve these cases. If anyone happens to live near a camera, maybe install a cheap camera pointed at one? #bikeTo #BikeTooter RE: https://mastodon.hongkongers.net/@ctvtor_mirror/113794839490984097

What a difference a few months and a little bit of framing makes. Condo vacancy rates that were once portrayed negatively have turned into lower rents. There is still work to do, but more supply lowers rents - yes, even in those evil condos. www.thestar.com/real-estate/...

Thanks @thelocal.to for covering the Marlee bike lane proposal. Having biked on that street when my employer used to be at Dufferin & Lawrence, I can vouch for how brutal it is. Disappointed with the opposition to this critical project when it doesn't remove car lanes. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero

Ontario politics is frustrating because the lesson of 1943-1985 was “Liberals and NDP refused to cooperate for 40 years” And we learned nothing and we’re just going to do that again.

I know they won't this early (or if they ever will) but the Liberals, NDP, and Greens really need to take this warning sign and join forces, the earlier the better. Whether that means being one united part or agreeing to only run the top polling candidate in each riding, they need to figure it out.
