Today is International Harm Reduction Day. The decision by the provincial government to shutter sites that it previously funded has already had tragic effects in increasing overdoses. Residents report more open drug use, and the remaining services are overloaded. (1/2)

Thanks to everyone who came out to Toronto’s inaugural pedestrian summit tonight! Let’s organize for safer streets and livelier public spaces 🚶‍♂️

Some of the cherry trees in High Park today and some of the admiring horde.

The summer pedestrianization of Church St. gives me #hope. Listen to my deputation from last week’s committee meeting. Billions must walk 🚶🫶 #TeamGabe

I walked with anotherglassbox.bsky.social to talk about neighbourhood retail for Jane’s Walk Toronto 2026. Unfortunately I can’t attend more this weekend as I’m nursing a foot injury. See you at the pedestrian summit on Sunday! 🚶

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Agent 86.

Something for Saskatchewan to work on: a process that extracts energy from coal without releasing carbon dioxide. interestingengineering.com/energy/china...

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

I’m all for majority govts enacting their policy preferences, whether I agree with them or not. That’s democracy. But using that power to bias future electoral outcomes crosses the line. I don’t want US-style gerrymandering in Canada. We have an independent commission on this for a reason.

For decoration only!

"Washington has been pushing Canada to do more to keep out products of forced labor from countries such as China." Well ok then:

Forest fire in the centre of Toronto. Prescribed burn in oak savannah forests to keep out understory. Most of the city's former oak savannah has houses on it. Indigenous people did it traditionally to to preserve edible black oak acorn crop.

High Park on 🔥

I’m running for Toronto City Council in Ward 11 University–Rosedale.

So China & Tesla don’t steal all the headlines, Volvo Trucks (Volvo Group) quietly put 5,000+ electric trucks into real-world deployment, logging 100+ million zero-emission miles over the past five years. Not under Geely. Not hype. This is happening. EV trucks are scaling everywhere, all at once.

I went to the library to get a book on conspiracies but they didn't have any. Coincidence? I don't think so!

did a ryan beedie write this

Disagree. Transmission, storage, resale all offer infinite opportunity for wealth extraction. I don’t say this with glee…it’s one more fight to be had. But the entire fossil fuel industry is predicated on acting *as if* the supply is infinite and there are no externalities.

I was walking through High Park and saw this fella in a tree. I held out my hand, snapped my fingers, and New Friend swooped down and perched. TWICE. I dunno what to do with myself now that I've won at life. Also: anyone got an idea on what New Friend is aside from "birb?"

Forget "total cost of ownership." In the UK, the average EV is now cheaper than the average ICE vehicle, up front. Sticker cost. And of course the savings just keep accumulating after that.

Me and chanface.bsky.social talk pedestrianization. To support the movement to pedestrianize Church St., sign the petition using the link in my bio. Special thanks to Councillor Chris Moise, his staff, and especially Francesca Policarpio for their hard work in making this a reality!

Whatever you do,

These incredible Buff Tip Moths blend in so well with branches that you might mistake them for sticks. Nature's masters of disguise are truly fascinating!

Coastal hiking in Newfoundland, Canada is a treat for the eyes. Another view (last week) of the seaside cliffs near my hometown in Conception Bay North. #hiking #trail #ediacaran

North side of Eglinton at Victoria Park Ave has some sweet photos of the Bomb Girls! Anyone know who was behind them?

"Blessed are the Cheese Makers." (Obviously, it's not meant to be taken literally. It referrs to any manufacturers of dairy products.)

Reposting this, but allegedly a Japanese businessman was once told we were going to make our UK universities more “businesslike”. His response: why would you do that? Your universities are excellent and your businesses are rubbish. And years later, here we are.

Every so often I remember the day I stumbled upon this real life comparison between an Austin Mini pick-up and a modern mid-size Chevy pick-up The bloat in body size & the blandness in style are starting. Thought the truck bed is about the same size. #vintagecar #carbloat #waronthecar #AustinMini
