this is wild: vehicle capacity of freeway lanes dropped 10 percent as SUVs took over the road -- not just bc they are bigger. they also take more time and space to slow down and obscure other drivers' sightlines. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Chasing people from one downtown neighbourhood to another is not sustainable. If people’s basic needs are not met, they will steal out of desperation. We need a coordinated approach to downtown security. But more importantly, people need food, housing, health care. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Today's hot take: if you are a landlord, property manager, or real-estate agent dealing with tenanted properties it is your actual job to know the statutes governing tenancies and property standards in your jurisdiction. I am seeing way too many landlords/agents out here just making up laws.

How much do I love @ttcriders.bsky.social ? SO MUCH. Consistently advocating for better transit in Toronto from a pragmatic, results-focussed perspective grounded in the experience of, well, TTC riders. Guerilla wayfinding is my new favourite thing.

the eglinton & finch west LRTs together are expected to serve 200,000 transit riders everyday, multiple times the number of people driving on either street. at the very least, trains shouldn't wait for left-turning cars. the petition has almost 1,000 signers - sign + send a message if you haven't!

This is not an easy read, but it's a necessary one. This horrific abuse of prisoners took place RIGHT HERE in Ontario. If you're not asking questions about what exactly we're doing with prisons and the criminal justice system, you probably should be.

No, he should go. We got a clear window into his authoritarian world view, leanings and moral compass. Dump him. """Carney called the comments "deeply offensive," but defended Chiang as a veteran police officer "with more than a quarter-century of service to his community.""""
