If they are your MP let them know this is a stupid idea!

New city report notes the Toronto Police Vision Zero Enforcement Team handed out about 14,500 speeding tickets in 2025. Might sound like a lot, but well, compare and contrast.

I'm not sure if CBC did this on purpose, but it's a telling tale of where Toronto cops are wasting their time and energy (and our tax payer dollars)

Given the recent police violence perpetrated against a cyclist on Queen's Quay, TPS' statement in support of that violence and the silence from City Hall, it's probably time we ride. Strength in numbers. Bring friends. Share widely. Ride bikes.

Doug Ford has closed parliament until Halloween. WTF???? #ONpoli

Turns out people who bike follow traffic laws way more than people who drive. A video study put it at 5% vs. 66%. Worth knowing next time that conversation comes up. 🚲 www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

There is a very similar ratio of deadhead miles vs passenger miles for Uber/Lyft as well, FHVs in general seem to have a disproportionate impact on traffic congestion for this and other reasons

For an assignment, I spent 1.5 hours at a stop sign by U of T. Out of 228 vehicles, 208 did not stop. 59 when pedestrians were waiting or actively crossing. I saw 20/228 (9%) lawful interactions w/ that stop sign. If police showed any force to even one of those 208 drivers, there would be riots.

almost 40 people died on our roads last year because of drivers, but the police apparatus continues to pick on cyclists, pedestrians, and transit users in this city. as they do. this is the latest.

But if it's a highway, come on in! www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

The Festival of Bizarre Toronto History begins today! So here's a thread with all the weird events we've got going on this week... (Or you can just check out the full schedule here: bizarretoronto.com/schedule.html)

4X Police 👮 officers are spending Sunday giving out tickets to cyclists for not fully stopping at stop signs 🛑 at Martin Goodman Trail (Lakeshore and stadium Road) Meanwhile people driving cars are responsible for 95% of deaths on toronto roads. #bikeTO @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

WTF is this? They lobby for less driver enforcement and then literally tackle people off their bikes for not stopping at a stop sign - something that every single driver does daily Great fucking strategy as we move into FIFA era where a lot of tourist will be biking

This is the exactly rhetoric Doug said about the Ontario Science Centre "The Kennedy Center is broken, unsafe, and $busted, and has been for many years!"

It’s insane how quiet the city can actually be

Anything but lower the price, eh? nationalpost.com/life/homes/l...

Another successful private public partnership

Honestly, just get wrecked Bradford, Holyday, Kandavel, and Mantas. But especially Holyday and Bradford. Holyday always votes for anything that isn't car friendly so that's on point. Bradford is such a turncoat it's satire level.

I am so angry and sickened by this. I hate Ford the serial abuser beyond words. We’re being violated over and over.

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE DON’T ANSWER THAT QUESTION BLUESKY I AM VENTING BUT STILL HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE FUCK THESE PEOPLE.

We spared no expense on this 2001: A Space Odyssey tunnel

Are you kidding me? $4-5 BILLION to expand Billy Bishop Airport?!?! WTF will it take to get @mark-carney.bsky.social & his #LPC government to say #NoJetsTO once and for all? Especially with Pearson undergoing their own improvements. #shame #TOpoli #ONpoli #cdnpoli www.thestar.com/news/ontario...

The Toronto Classic: 3 shitty drivers versus 150 pedestrians trying to get to their train/subway.

“Public parks without the encampments. We’re making Ontario safer.” What the fuck does this mean? Why am I paying for this copaganda?

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you really should watch & share this news story. It’s pretty much perfect. Ford claims wrongly that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. toronto.citynews.ca/video/2024/1...

Turning your grass into a garden isn't as complicated as you think, but it will take time and effort. This step-by-step guide breaks down the process, from killing your lawn to picking plants to grow.

Community that requires car to live concerned about the amount of cars on road www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The fact that small scale real estate investors who flip $500k starter homes into $2 million McMansions are NOT required to provide subsidized housing for poor people but the investors who flip the same homes into ten $650,000 townhomes ARE is such an indictment of California housing policy.

going to see where they made the holy hand grenade

Baby elephants, called calfs, weigh an average of 264 pounds at birth. This makes them the biggest babies on earth other than motorists who imagine that bike riders are destroying their way of life.

Bicycles are hugely space efficient, which is why they make a lot of sense in congested cities. This video demonstrates why there aren’t traffic jams in bike lanes. Just imagine the traffic queues if every bicycle here was a car.

He’s gathering favour now so they can be used again later

I can’t imagine being their age and thinking this was a good use of my limited time

Wonderful stuff youtu.be/acJgA0XofLc?...

Remember when Quebec started talking about this in the 70s and instantly all the banks fled Montreal for Toronto? Why would any business wanting to invest in Canada now choose Alberta? calgaryherald.com/business/alb...

These new jail and bail ads by Doug are just straight up fascist satire from Robocop Scare those suburbanites away from the scary city! They have bikelanes!

It sure is a choice to demo and build a flip, and then put reclaimed wood panels on the facade of a box building. People with money (and looking for more) are pure chaos

Replacing small scale density and close knite buildings with glass curtains is kinda shit Also the road needs to be shallower with wider sidewalks - not wide sidewalks with massive road

Yearly bike ride through Rosedale after work and it’s shockingly boring. Only life are the drivers racing home and the workers outside packing up their landscaping trucks

I don't give a shit about how much it's going to make You can't replace the islands and waterfront for any amount of money www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The entire premise of this story is wrong. There is not a new lane. There is a new curb defining a lane that already existed. It will change nothing about car traffic. Therefore there is no procedural or political story.

Not high enough. Put the taxes back on. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

It's been finally a really nice warm day in Toronto. People can finally stop complaining about the cold weather and turn on that air conditioner

I don’t know. This could be fun!

Somehow I just know this guy is a real piece of shit

He talking about Doug and the airport island?

I really like this idea, but as a podcast enthusiastic I find it offence and will call my councillor about it
