I’ve been at this for nearly 28 years. I have my dream job. But if you had told me 28 years ago things would be this toxic I would have done something else.

'The Crown lawyer said she couldn't speak for the government, but noted that those streets all have public transit routes along them. But the premier didn’t say he was choosing roads with subways under them when he announced the removals — "He just picked them," [Judge] Schabas noted.' Lol, lmao

Judge to rule on whether removing the bikelanes on Bloor, University, Yonge is arbitrary. … they’re on Doug Ford & Sarkaria’s personal commute to Queen’s Park, tbd if that counts as not arbitrary #topoli

For those asking why the post-debate scrums are stacked with far-right alternative media personalities, the answer is they obtained a court order to attend these things

PP is explaining how he’s going to eliminate/cut CBC but maintain/defend Radio-Canada (which is French CBC). Can’t believe that’s a real policy position

How many times did PP say “c’est pas vrai”, was anyone counting?

PP claims the other parties will ban your car and he’s the only one who will defend your right to vroom vroom through Quebec City. Maybe he did get some campaign advice from Doug Ford after all

FWIW, as a native Québécoise fluent in French, I’m finding Mark Carney’s ability to hold his own in tonight’s French-language Leaders’ Debate to be much better than I expected. Pas mal du tout! #CdnPoli #DébatDesChefs

I don’t think Poilievre taking advantage of Carney’s poor French by constantly interrupting him is going to play well.

It took the New York Times for Premier Ford to finally start paying attention. There's no need to waste more time, or money. Cancel the deal.

The NY Times has published an investigation into the Therme development at Ontario Place. It found that while the company told the province it had a proven track record of operating six spas around the world, at the time it had only ever operated one. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/w...

Unbelievable. The @nytimes.com reports that Therme was misrepresenting basic aspects of its business - they copied the name of another company and claimed to own its properties. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/w...

Earlier today, a motorist drove through the Nelson Mandela pedestrian walkway on TMU campus, striking several pedestrians. At this time, preliminary investigation leads Toronto Police believe the incident may have been targeted.

The City spends so much time fighting over height, shadows and setbacks, and then competently ignores the ground floor appearance, which I argue matters far more for the quality of place in the city. How is this acceptable? Especially in this part of the city. @jasonthorne.bsky.social please help.

In France a bus is a boy but in Québec a bus is a girl but also sometimes a boy and I was not ready to learn this. / En France le mot « bus » est masculin mais au Québec ça dépend. Je n'étais pas prêt à apprendre ça. 😥

while we wait with baited breath to find out if Olivia Chow can convince Doug Ford to spare 3 bike lanes in Toronto, we are reminded that the idea that we have gone too far with bike lanes is completely bonkers in reality we need so, so much more bike infrastructure to keep cyclists safe

Museum Station TTC elevator construction covering multiple lanes for construction worker parking, haphazardly thrown around pylons, and a "no lefthand turn" just short of actually being blocked by the construction barrier. Always mass confusion. Bike lanes aren't the problem here.
