There's still 3 ridings with no results! Orleans - almost certainly Liberal. Humber River-Black Creek - probably NDP. And King-Vaughan - certainly PC. (Spadina-Fort York just started coming in - easy NDP).

Just saw that Burlington is VERY close - Liberals 400 votes or so behind - but maybe not close enough.

Ottawa going fully non-Conservative. More so than Toronto, the city Ford has really hammered (but also represents).

Liberals not breaking through in ANY suburban GTA ridings except maybe Ajax ... that's really where they needed to make the breakthrough.

A lot more races are closer than last time for the Liberals vs Conservatives, it seems, but not close enough.

Watching the Liberal French debate. A bit of a relief to have Baylis there who is actually fluent. Gould was pretty fluent too. Freeland and Carney a bit awkward, but Freeland was able to get good ideas across despite that. Carney seemed a bit hobbled in his answers - couldn't express all he wanted

Very interesting graph in @graphicmatt.com newsletter showing just how many more people travel by streetcar than by private car on the main streetcar routes. (From toronto.cityhallwatcher.com/p/whatever-h... )

Thinking it would be logical to require a vote of shareholders (i.e. the owners) before companies can move their headquarters to a different country. Just like it's required for a takeover.

"Madeleine Bonsma-Fisher has written an insightful piece — with charts! — about "Complete Streets" projects, like the one on Bloor West. Yes, they slowed down traffic. But, uh, that was the point, because fast traffic is dangerous. Doesn’t anyone remember that whole Vision Zero thing?"

Good Cory Doctorow today, on the ludicrous models that utilities & their consultants use to justify rate hikes.

The best way to fight back against Musk: Don’t buy a Tesla. (And if you own one, sell it.) The company was already in a precarious position before Musk launched his assault on democracy. A Tesla boycott would be devastating – and richly deserved. Me, in Slate 🧵

the toronto region board of trade really shows its true colours as a big corporate interest group with their flawed report. at this point, this "business interest group" has thrown every local small business in downtown toronto under the bus by calling to remove much-loved caféTO street patios.

As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone.
