Low taxes? Not possible unless we cut service and have vastly more more density (which isn’t happening as long as we keep paving farmland)

I got a response to my Freedom of Information request regarding the LRT upload: There were no communications between the OCTranspo head, the mayor, the city manager or Metrolinx re the upload from March 1st to 26 September 2026. There is no $4 billion deal with the province.

We are disgusted and disturbed to see a piece run in the National Post that appears to potentially endorse violence against NDP Leader Avi Lewis for his argument that we all bear a collective responsibility to stop the genocide in Palestine. See our joint response:

A small apartment building was here until a fire years ago. It's now an unauthorized parking lot for delivery drivers and others, who have to drive across the sidewalk to park there I don't own a car and if they want a parking lot fine, just apply for it Really it should be housing 🤷

I won't be voting for any local candidate in Somerset ward as long as this illegal parking lot (with this bizarrely placed sign) isn't dealt with. Many of us have been calling it out to bylaw and our councillor for months 🤷

In ERs, we see the impact of unsafe roads regularly. Cities with good bike infrastructure have fewer deaths and greater safety for all, regardless of whether they’re walking, cycling or driving. Ontario gov should reconsider how to spend $48 mil Improve lives - not put them at risk #bikeTO #onpoli

So many candidates that didn't answer and really should have 😞 Also, I'm shocked that a bike mechanic wants bike lanes ripped out and to focus instead on side streets

Listen: I don’t want to minimize the danger of high e-bike speeds. But if the problem here is that stores sell e-bikes that can drive faster than legal limits, then where’s the story about how literally *every car dealership has been doing the same thing for decades*?!?

Along the same lines when I tell them, or other friends what OW and ODSP monthly payments are they at first look stunned. Then they usually ask how they can pay rent and a lightbulb suddenly goes off We need more people to be curious about others and stop assuming we all have the same supports

There's very little awareness that most people have no decent pension from their employer I switched careers into healthcare in the middle of my life. Folks in the hospital were shocked that I had no previous employer pension. They couldn't even believe it was possible. More knowledge is needed
