City of Toronto contractor storing materials in a City of Toronto park. Tree Protection Zone be damned.

If case you ever wondered, Poland is successful out of spite.

So we’re gonna increase parking fines to the same amount right? RIGHT???

Wonderful news! Feds, Province and City commit to funding Waterfront East LRT! This unlocks huge amounts of housing and complete neighbourhoods in the Port Lands. Curious to see what’s included and how they plan to connect to Union Station. www.waterfrontoronto.ca/our-projects...

The #CanMNT showed good fight to come back from down 2-0, but untimely errors in both halves cost them in their 2-2 draw vs. 🇮🇸 I look at that, Jonathan David's quiet excellence (even beyond the PKs), Marcelo Flores's bright debut and more in my KEY takeaways 👇 onesoccer.ca/a/key-takeaw...

DAVIIIIIIID!!!! #CanMNT

Quite the statement. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Nerdy stuff that will allow for better retail spaces in new developments! Type G loading docks take up a huge amount of space on small urban sites, leaving little space for stores or community uses that make for vibrant streets.

Watching #POLALB but cheering for Northern Ireland at the same time. #CanMNT

A video of the Russian drone strike on the center of Lviv and the first moments afterward, filmed by a BBC journalist.

russians just bombed the Bernadine Monastery complex in central Lviv, a UNESCO heritage site. www.europesays.com/pl/323643/

This exhibition is opening in Berlin and I hope there will be much content critically accounting for the role of Alois Brunner, a high rank German Nazi and Eichmann's associate who fled to Hafez al-Assad's Syria and helped building its torturous intelligence services, including the Sednaya Prison

Imagine looking at whats happening in the world rn with oil as an energy source and having the gall to describe renewables as "unpredictable"

Injury bugs his #CanMNT and Mexico ahead of hosting World Cup in June. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/m...

Sorry folks, but you're going to be spammed with pictures of Bologna's tram in the nect few days as one of the major section through the city center is mostly completed and my feed is full of pics I feel compelled to share

John is being too modest. What if we pedestrianized Albert and James along with Queen Street from University to Yonge? It’s closed to thru traffic for the next several years and life hasn’t stopped, so why not keep it that way?

Three men, including the star 19-year-old wrestler Saleh Mohammadi, were executed by hanging in Iran on Thursday after they were convicted of killing two police officers during protests in January, the Iranian authorities said. Human rights groups had raised concerns about the cases against them.

"There is no doubt that Jean-Jacques Ndala Ngambo had a nightmare during the AFCON final.... but once [he] took the decision to resume play, the result could only be determined on the field of play and not in the court of football justice." @osasuo.bsky.social: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

WOW! 👀 www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Worth a visit for your next trip to Warsaw:

Russia plans to settle additional* 114,000 colonists in the RU-occupied areas of Ukraine - officially-published Russian government plans that won't necessarily be implemented but certainly illustrate the scale of colonization. www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/202...

Potentially sixty years to electrify some GO lines. What are we even doing here. www.torontotoday.ca/local/transp...

Polish-Canadian director and visual artist Maciek Szczerbowski has won the Oscar for best animated short alongside filmmaking partner Chris Lavis for their acclaimed stop-motion film The Girl Who Cried Pearls.

Beautiful 👀

Okay the genuinely funniest outcome is Italy winning the WBC but not qualifying for the World Cup.

Eglinton Crosstown, Finch West LRT lines get signal priority upgrades to speed up travel times

in case you were wondering why live tracking on both Line 5 and Line 6 is basically non-existent paired with malfunctioning next train screens (on line 5 at least, IME), i genuinely have not known when my train is going to show up for the past several days, i just go down to platform level and hope

Cincinnati take on #TFClive away win yesterday is quite flattering to our CBs on aerial duty and the midfield’s ability to neutralize their attacks. Nice to understand what the other side sees. www.preseasonstreams.com/coin-flips/

Tax exiles stuck in London desperately trying to get *back* to Dubai to avoid becoming tax resident in the UK? Just great stuff. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Poland’s PKP Intercity launches new ”Slow Trains" with retro 80s locomotives, passenger cars, livery and even menus! First trains running the Warszawa-Zakopane route start April 17th. Relive your childhood! kolejowyportal.pl/goral-oscype...

Before and after. Seeing the parts and the whole at once helps reveal how time and evolution shape the city. Here, a parking lot becomes a beloved public park while surrounding lots gradually develop over decades. Almost like a chessboard where the pieces don’t move,they evolve.

Interesting missing middle infill going up on Sorauren. Looks like two floors of apartments over a one storey garage behind an existing 3 storey building, creating a little roof-top courtyard.

i spent all summer organizing for dedicated transit lanes against typical toronto nimbys who claimed that "emergency vehicles would get stuck in traffic and more people would die" anyways, here's real life:

Having failed against military targets,, russia is targeting passenger trains across Ukraine.

Great new video by Romaro Williams that gives some much needed positive light on the Finch West LRT! Yes, it could be better, but Williams highlights how transformative this project is for pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and even drivers. Go support this amazing new creator of colour! (1/3)

Only in Toronto will a street that looks like this have buses running every 3-4 mins.

Road salt applied to streets and parking lots is washing into Lake Simcoe and other watersheds throughout Ontario, putting biodiversity and drinking water at risk. @leahbortskuperman.bsky.social reports on the problem — as well as one potential solution. thenarwhal.ca/lake-simcoe-...

If Toronto didn’t already have a science museum, Ontario Place would be a compelling place to start. But the city does have one on an a spectacular Don Valley site — that will soon be served by two subway lines. Which makes this new proposal a good place to stop. urbantoronto.ca/news/2026/02...

Interesting times.

Did you know that the City is conducting a survey about the future of street furniture in Toronto? The current contract expires in the summer of 2027 and a new vendor & furniture will be picked. Take the survey to have your voice heard. #TOpoli ca.mar.medallia.com?e=90006671&d...

Per Mayor Olivia Chow's Threads post earlier today, transit signal priority is starting to be rolled out on the Finch West LRT with implementation on the Eglinton Crosstown LRT to follow! 🚋🎉 #TTC #TOpoli CC @ttcriders.bsky.social @toenviro.bsky.social www.threads.com/@mayorolivia...

The David Crombie Park Revitalization project includes cycle track improvements on The Esplanade for a seamless integration of the park and public realm. Visit toronto.ca/davidcrombiepark to register for the virtual public information meeting on March 2 from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

In 2022 France implemented a new law stating that 50% of any new public building should be built from timber or other bio materials. An outcome is new schools that look like this! Designed by Le Penhuel & Associés, in Paris.
