brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 21/09/2026For me it comes down to the city not being able to get the small things right, so why does council bother with any of the big ideas? I don't think it's impossible either. Seeing the city put the good china out for FIFA means the capability is there. 062

brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I think Perks would say that the depopulation of his ward was due to capitalism and therefore not his fault. I think it's curious that he espouses an ideology that allowed him to do nothing! 120
brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I do not want to see a “deal” where Chow agrees to remove bike lanes near Crooked Cue in exchange for saving the rest of the network (she will definitely make this deal). 010
brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Streetcar ops taking over bus ops is basically an apocalypse level event in Toronto. TTC actually went, “what if we took North America's best bus network and made it more like the world's slowest streetcar network?” 2182
brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Too much paved surface and not enough "open green space". Wouldn't pass muster in Toronto. 000
brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 02/09/2026It's a great idea if you want to fight Ford, but there's no indication that City Council wants to fight this. The fact that our progressive Mayor chose not to install the Eglinton bike lanes does not make me hopeful at all. 110
brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Farmers doing what they do best: extracting max dollar for cheap land. What to watch for next: townies and rural cosplayers fighting against farmers because they're not getting a cut. 120
brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I think this is copium. California is a solid blue state but even there your average Californian is completely unaware that their wine is not legal to sell in most of Canada. 100
brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 22/08/2026The scale of the fight is you're up against 100+ years of cultural inertia by wanting neighbourhood retail. It's sad that Finch Store is closing but remember that the majority of their neighbours are celebrating this as a victory. So yeah sometimes fight just to fight. 121
brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Good to see who, besides Holyday, is Toronto city council's most regressive and obstructionist councillor take a hike, but of course she did it in the most obnoxious and kniving way possible. Would expect nothing less from her. 010
brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Toronto's downtown councillors are always talking about how concerned they are about there not being adequate green space for their residents. This is why they are working hard to close streets like this and convert them into park space. (Extreme sarcasm). 062
brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 15/08/2026It's not grievance politics from people in Newmarket or wherever that drives this. It's the dozen or so finance guys who drive to the financial district from Summerhill every day running to Daddy Ford everytime Toronto does something they don't like. 070
brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I remember when McLean's called Quebec “Canada's most corrupt province” and at least there was the Charbonneau Inquiry for that (after a lot of denialism). Holy cow do we need that for Ontario and the rest of Canada. 020
brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Hilarious that Olivia Chow didn't install the Eglinton bike lanes to avoid it becoming a wedge issue for the mayoral election. 121
brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 11/08/2026It's going to be awkward for Olivia Chow supporters when she inevitably also commits to removing the Bloor West bike lane to protect her right flank. 120

brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 06/08/2026At this point I genuinely just don't think Carney is a very smart guy. The way he negotiates with Ford and Trump would only make perfect sense if you didn't know who they were or anything about them. 000
brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 03/08/2026There are a limited number of cheap on-street parking spots, but many people who want them. How do we resolve this mismatch? Is anyone familiar with something called the WWF Royal Rumble? 120
brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Good thing he's deeply unpopular and it doesn't matter. Ford's in his Poilievre loser era. This'll be his last summer as premier. 000

brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Olivia Chow should do to the TTC what she did with the Parks Department. Staff think everything's fine and there's no need to improve? Keep firing people until you get to someone who thinks differently. 000
brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth, but it would be nice if it was paired with a commitment to speed up Alto, or heck, even just electrify and expand the UPX eastward. 000

brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 19/07/2026One thing that I realized on my last trip to Montreal is that their parks are great and relaxing because they don't get completely taken over by off leash dogs the way they do in Toronto. 020
brianbswizzle.bsky.social @brianbswizzle.bsky.social · 19/07/2026The way some Toronto progressive councillors start panicking and cave to NIMBYs exclusively in the election year. Election years really separate the wheat from the chaff in this city. 040
