no, not beg buttons - Toronto already uses ATC-compatible traffic controllers and a SCOOT-based signal system, and have both permanent and pilot program tech to do full passive, intelligent intersections, we just don't

I think it’s going to be the trustee - “more to say about what this means for me” - sounds like “I’m running” www.instagram.com/p/DcPHEOMIzG...

instead they want only to do incentives (couple months free rent, perks, etc etc) - this one got $357 million the government and is similarly empty - wont lower rents, they offer incentives triconliving.com/apartment/ma...

oh this has been like this for more than two years! it’s never been less than 10% empty since I’ve been watching it - infact it’s gotten slightly more empty - but this is just one building and one example, but they very explicitly dont want to lower rents - www.theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/...

rental buildings aren’t included in vacant home tax though because it’s not based on individual units it’s based on properties - so purpose built rental buildings aren’t caught in it (where a lot of this money is going) - this is ~more than 10% empty, as an example - www.elmledbury.ca/suites

I feel like people who used to work for Canadaland should be calling Jesse out. I don't think it's appropriate that he issues targeted attacks on other journalists and misrepresents reality without pushback from his peers and colleagues who helped legitimize him

it's five figures - but with minimums and duration could expand to six easily - Pattison, who services the ads, sometimes publishes a PDF of their rate card - I can't find the 2026 one, but this one is labelled 2025 in the link, despite saying 2023 on the deck www.toronto-bia.com/wp-content/u...

bizarre motion that doesn't have any reasonable outcome other than staff directing forestry to cut down 20+ year-old trees? calls it urgent but also asks it to be addressed post-2027 - as an example, the Ginkgo in Berczy park is a female. It's fine. They're fine. bsky.app/profile/grap...

if youre not wanting to listen you can just skim to transcript in the Apple Podcasts app either on desktop or mobile - but he reached no definitive conclusion, (poorly) attempted to make it about anonymous sway of the meida conversation broadly podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/c...

whole thing is wild but I mean this alone, considering the margin, pretty much requires a contesting of the results - and the ontario liberal party should’ve been the one calling for it instead of leaving it to the candidates lol

based on the answer and the way you set it up it sounds like you asked about the potential monetary value? not whether it was art, despite them offering that opinion. What did you asked them?

this is called a FLIR ITS TrafiCam - outside of the reality Toronto already has these - they absolutely can track pedestrians presence at and through intersections - along with all other road uses (cyclists, transit, auto). That data can be used to dynamically adjust our ATC/ SCOOT signal systems

Luke LeBrun (@lukeleburn.ca) breaks down the Canadaland reddit phishing saga - interviews a number of people, including Jesse Brown who admits to him the links were sent to phish for IP addresses. More here: pressprogress.ca/jesse-brown-...

Reddit mod said Jesse / Canadaland employee told him they sent four messages, we have a screenshot of at least one of those messages - that message was a randomly deceptive attempt to get a person to click through to the link (phish), so yes

Canadaland issues a statement on Twitter confirming responsibility for the Reddit Mod phishing attempts - as well as the one to Mark Bourrie. Says the “CLTipster” emails were not them but without access to the Reddit Mod chat that is not verifiable at this time. x.com/canadaland/s...
