Dear torontonians, please ask yourselves why BEY has such few Bradford signs. What do his former constituents know? Why wouldn’t they vote for him for mayor on name recognition alone? #electionsTO

Most of this is infrastructure, but some is cultural. North Americans society is individualistic, we don’t look after each other, so our kids aren’t cared for by a community, they get stuck in the house.

My yelling at least got the cop on the sidewalk doing his job, but got knows TPS budget is wasted.

The reason I spoke to the cop was because a kid on a scooter trying to cross had to wait behind the CAT while 3 SUVs and a delivery van drove on the sidewalk with zero visibility of the kid. Cop was in his car doing something else.

This is vision Zero in Toronto, a tiny sidewalk shared by pedestrians and cars at the end of the school day, and this cop saying there is no way to make it safer, like close the street to traffic and have cars detours for one block. #visionZero #cityoFToronto

I live in a neighborhood that is incredibly safe, we leave our doors unlocked and forget our keys in the door and somewhere nearby he sleeps with a baseball bat under his bed afraid of break ins. His campaign’s claims are so ridiculous, they should be mocked not reported on.

He has been my city councillor for years, and he’s changed his policy as often as his suits. All I know is that he doesn’t respond to constituents’s concerns, his office ignores emails and calls, and most of his campaign claims are 💩

Just a friendly reminder that Brad Bradford was raising money for his mayoral campaign for years now, instead of doing his job as councillor. Please for dear lord Toronto do not vote for this guy!!! www.thestar.com/news/gta/bra...

Brad Bradford has already raised $1.8 million for his Toronto mayoral campaign. Here’s what that might mean for his chances of beating Olivia Chow
In just a little over two months, the Beaches-East York councillor has already raised more than twice what he took in for his unsuccessful 2023 mayoral run.

And for the democratic process. The municipal elections coming up are almost pointless, everything they do can be undone by provincial legislation. Trustees we voted in now gone. Maybe we need to take a stand against this government sooner than the next election 🤔

A few years ago there was a string of anti semitic graffiti in BEY, when concerned constituents contacted Bradford they were told it’s a parks issue. Same guy now is cozying up to Pro Israel groups, he shamelessly attended an event with Orban. Doesn’t take a genius to see his motivations ‼️

Remember when they promised the Portlands plant won’t run over 25% of capacity? That was a lie! And now the city is back to regular smog days, which everyone seems happy to ignore 🫠🫠🫠 Meanwhile those of with respiratory health issues bear the brunt of this government’s failure.

If you weren’t an AI doomer already, then you should be! It’s not that hard for a majority of us to reject this technology. Whatever minor efficiencies gained are negligible compared to immediate cost of climate destabilization on our lives.

Hey Toronto, if you are just now hearing about Brad Bradford, please take note of what BEY residents are saying and DO NOT VOTE for him! He has been campaigning since the last elections. It literally doesn’t matter who the next BEY councillor will be, it can’t possible be worse than we’ve had it

Reminder that Carney has cut funding for Natural Resources Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Indigenous and Northern Affairs, and Indigenous Services. And he has rolled back climate protections, abandoned emissions targets, and is building more pipelines.
Carney:

"The wildfire situation has escalated significantly over the last three weeks across the country, and particularly in Northwestern Ontario. 

Thousands of people have been forced to evacuate their communities, not knowing if their homes will survive.  
 
On behalf of Canadians, I want to thank the brave firefighters, first responders, Indigenous and local leaders who are working tirelessly to keep people safe.
 
Our government is in close contact with provincial, municipal, and Indigenous partners and stands ready to provide any additional support as needed."
