I'm not sure Canadians grasp the scale of this catastrophe and the federal government appears to be intent on keeping it that way. Fifteen soldiers still on venitilators three weeks later, nine in critical condition. Astonishing.

Replying to @PrabSarkaria
As every credible expert has told you, including your own staff, and as I’m sure you actually know yourself, this will result in more people being killed and injured, less safety for EVERYONE, worse traffic congestion, worse pollution, climate emissions and noise, undermined affordability and economic competitiveness, and less choice and freedom. And it cost the public A LOT. But at least you felt strong and powerful, right?

And look at the cars moving along just fine.
It’s November and the University Ave bike lanes are still busy as usual! This is one of the bike lanes the province is planning to remove.

Wow. So clear that the Walrus had a different crossword maker this week. Many clues were utterly unfamiliar to me. It's a good thing but I have questions I just solved this Crossword made by @thewalrus in 12 minutes and 33 seconds. Can you beat my time? thewalrus.ca/games/crossword…

In part it is simply Gen Zs making the crosswords! So interesting how many generational things and words crop up that Gen Xers like me may struggle with. Also a heavy lean into other cultures and languages (South Asian, and Spanish). Challenge accepted.

This is hugely embarassing for CP24, though the bar is rather low. Do other cities have such pseudo journalistic "news" services? There are some good folks there, but the overarching ethos is trash.
#NEW: Video provided to CP24 shows a Toronto father using a magnet to identify a pin concealed inside a piece of Halloween candy collected by his children. He discovered a total of five affected products. Full story: cp24.com/local/toronto/2026/…

I’m an ER doc. To say “We’re protecting Ontario” is disgraceful. @RaymondChoPC

Average Toronto traffic jam caused by bike lanes Just kidding. It’s actually usually illegally parked cars: - blocking a delivery truck turning onto the road - causing a Taxi about to drive onto sidewalk to get around - resulting in a back up of various vehicles behind

Shoutout to Diana Chan McNally for overcoming all the bullshit. first renter to be elected to city councillor, has been THE frontline worker for Toronto's homeless population. The city is better for it with her in council.

What's crazy is that joke candidate Braeden Chow came third in the mayor race in the biggest city in Canada. Ok it wasn't like he was even close to the frontrunners, but his 10k votes could definitely have swayed the race had it been closer. How many confused him with Olivia?

Great news tonight for Toronto. Congrats to @MayorOliviaChow on her reelection. Breathing a sigh of relief for sure.

Protestors put their bodies on the line to protect bike lanes because people’s physical safety is at stake. Bike lanes have been proven to save lives. A fund managed by @ffsafestreets and @TheBikingLawyer is providing support for people who have been arrested or injured. 1/2

Guy here thinks a picture of two dudes with a baby carriage is a problem in Toronto. I'm sure BradBrad appreciates the homophobic, racist support.
If you were on the (white picket) fence about whom to vote for, let this ridiculous post convince you that Chow is the wrong person.
