The Bloor/St George intersection is absolute chaos. It's like that episode of the Simpsons where Homer tries to build a barbecue and it ends up as a pile of tangled concrete and bricks. Who designed this? #TOpoli

The streets are yours to take, America. Imagine if, instead of wasteful parades and illegal detainments, you had, say, universal healthcare. Putting your bodies in the way isn't the only form of protest, but it is an important one. If you're out there today, I wish you a safe resistance.

Surrounded by peepers and gulls along the Washademoak River, and I'd take this sound over Toronto construction and air conditioner units any night.

Less than a week before we get year 10 going. 8 stages, 5 days, and 60+ artists. Full festival pass only $70

Before and after flying Air Canada.

Happy @socanmusic.bsky.social day to all who celebrate. 🎶💰

If you're American and you love live music, please read this article. Understand what artists from outside the US go through (long before 2025) to perform in the US. We put up with it because we love our US fans and we want to share our music with you. But border crossing is even more anxious now.

CTV: oh sorry we didn't realize that as a woman on the internet, you brought with you such a TROLL BASE. That's on you. We, with all the resources of a gigantic corporate media mogul, can't possibly cope...byeeeee you're on your own. Cowardly move from @ctvyourmorning.bsky.social

Been waiting my whole entire life for this. 🤞🦷 I want to hear from every party that they plan to keep this program going. #CdnPoli #Election #CanadianDentalCarePlan

If we're all sharing our new campaign slogans... Mine is: PAJAMA PANTS, NOT SYCOPHANTS PYJAMAS! LUI? JAMAIS!

I feel for the workers at the Kennedy Centre, but don't guilt trip the artists who cancelled their performances. If you want to speak out against someone, that person should be Trump. Focus your awesome union energy on organizing against the USA's fascist administration.

Desperate for new rhymes, Poilievre launches controversial "Axe the Sax" campaign, quickly polarizing crucial jazz vote.

Rye is the best of the toasts. 🍞

Hi Canadian radio 🇨🇦, if you want to jump on the bandwagon, feel free to play 100% CanCon instead of that tiny 35% minimum (50% min on CBC). It's not hard. Canada has a tsunami of amazing music bursting out of it every day. Dig deep. Open your ears. Play independent artists. Keep going. #MadeInCanada

Folk musician Rhiannon Giddens said on social media that she has moved her May concert – originally scheduled for the Kennedy Center – to a different venue in Washington, D.C.

We have announced our initial lineup for year ten. see ya in June

Give me a Rorschach test, I see a puppy.

Word are weighty. Words are powerful. Words are for all of us. Words are my livelihood. Words are resistance.

"Real courage is risking something you have to keep on living with, real courage is risking something that might force you to rethink your thoughts and suffer change and stretch consciousness. Real courage is risking one’s clichés."

Raisins are OK on their own, but no food is made better by adding raisins to it.

Of course the tariffs were just a distraction while something way more sinister was happening. And as a bonus, when he knows he's gonna tank a bunch of stocks with one press conference, he can slip that info to his buds ahead of time!

I'll pretty much go wherever @weratedogs.com goes.

Always a bit late to the new platform. Willing to try. I like the challenge of word count limits. Nothing like some solid parameters to get some writing done.
