I also think they don’t appreciate we’ve basically been in a recession for the last ~4 years. A 30% decline in business isn’t because people can’t find parking. It’s because we’re all broke!

1000%. We should be able to save (or at least go on a vacation, haven’t done that in over a decade) but we keep voting to shot ourselves in the foot with buck-a-beer we’ll ya know folks dipshits. Hamilton by-election saw 25% voter turn out and still elected a conservative. Great message sent 🤬

most of toronto's waterway was working port well into the last century. even now lakers still come in to delivery sugar to Redpath. city planning was different then. no one really went to the lake in the city centre so putting up an elevated highway wasn't seen as a huge issue.

If he talks like a Ford, campaigns like a Ford, and has policy like a Ford, he's a Ford.

today after realizing i'd booked a vet appt that would put us on the subway during rush hour i opted to take a bus route instead, except they'd cancelled the bus and we had to wait an extra 15 minutes. so i stood there in the rain with an old, sick freaked out cat because all other options took just

i honestly thought we might have to bear the shame of the missing line 3 as a harbinger of bad civic planning until the end of days. good to hear something good came out of it.

NEW: Starbucks repeatedly violates labor law, refuses to bargain with its union @sbworkersunited.org, and just announced it's closing 250 stores. Yet CEO Brian Niccol alone took home $31 MILLION last year. End CEO greed. Listen to workers. Boycott Starbucks.

the takeaway here seems to be that overwhelmingly it feels like people vote for the few things they like and ignore or misunderstand the rest of the message.

human's used to do all sorts of stupid things. yes my family cat's were mostly free range. it was different then. i now live in a big city, close to a valley and at t intersection. i see outdoor cats from time to time along with 'coon, fox, skunk, possum... you get my point.

This is probably fine with Ford; doesn't affect his commute.

Impressive turnout at #criticalmass #bikeTO to show our opposition to Doug Ford's plan to rip out bike lanes & endanger our lives. Bike lanes save lives! Doug Ford is a corrupt animal. Shame on him! #cycling #visionzero #toronto #ONpoli #TOpoli

It's ok to have voted for Carney, I get it. What isn't acceptable is refusing to hold him and his government accountable for their actions. Democracy requires far more from us than just voting.

I live between 2 schools in East York and a few years ago they (the city I assume) seemed to have narrowed our residential street around one of the schools. It can be done.

Over the weekend, the Bradford campaign challenged the media to do this "scavenger hunt" to uncover supposed places where Olivia Chow frittered away the provincial New Deal money. Challenge accepted. From my newsletter this week, here’s what I found.

An infographic for a City Hall scavenger hunt titled 'Where did the Money Go?' showing eight locations throughout Toronto where city budget expenditures are hidden, with clues and dollar amounts for each stop, ending at the Mayor's Office, and promoting Brad Bradford's mayoral campaign.

The great @graphicmatt.com takes up Bradford's budget challenge and finds, to the surprise of no one who's paid attention to City Hall for the past 15 years, a lot of hot air. Bradford may win using stuff like this, but it's dishonest and his "line-by-line budget review" will bust. Then what?

There's no shortage of depressing things happening politically in Canada right now, but the fact that 15-years after Rob Ford's campaign invented a fake Twitter account to subvert damaging stories, we're still seeing local elections f'd with by unscrupulous campaigners.

I made a thing. Well I made it awhile ago but never got around the finishing work. Due to a sore ankle I've been couch bound for a few days so finally sewed on the snaps and decorative button.

when i was a kid we got a quarter. except that one weird night when i was awoken in by a bunch of drunk adults - i feigned sleep. my pillowed moved & loud whispers about how that was not enough. the next morning under my pillow was a little pile of loose change. drunk tooth fairy never returned.
