In @thestar.com I write about agitslop seeping into Toronto’s election & politics. AstroTurf campaigns to AI-driven apps, we need a Blade Runner to help us understand what’s real & what’s fake, but it may inspire a renaissance of showing up in public space for protest or just conversation.

Shawn Micallef: AI slop is turning Toronto politics into a sci-fi dystopia, but it’s not too late to change course
The line between real and fake is blurring and it should be a cautionary tale for voters and candidates

A #WarOnWalking. A war on biking. A war on public transit. A war on any transportation choice other than driving. A war on better cities. But a war on cars? Hardly. Cars still get most of the space, rights, budget, prioritization, etc. And any effort to add more choice is immediately attacked.

Canada was home to the exiled Norwegian air force -- Little Norway Park in Toronto named after it, the wooden flagpole that held their flag still there at corner of Bathurst & Queens Quay (all possibly at risk due to Liberal/Doug Ford plans to expand island airport that have been paused for now)

Not surprised that speeding on Parkside increased 560% since last year's speed camera ban by the Ford government. Combined with the bike lane ban via Bills 212/60, residents there have been denied the right to a safe street. #shame #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #ONpoli toronto.citynews.ca/2026/09/16/s...

Speeding on Parkside spiked 560% in year since speed camera removal: Safe Parkside
Safe Parkside called the latest data culled from the City of Toronto's “Watch Your Speed” electronic sign on Parkside both "frightening" and "predictable."
