Check the AQI before you engage in outdoor activities — when will cities ensure driving private vehicles & construction is paused during daze like this?!

I’m listening to CBC (5;14pm) - Clayton says “defunding the police” - W T A F — gaslighting continues!!! “Bad guys” mmmm who is that ?! “The $1.43 billion budget includes a $93.8 million increase (7%), which will go to the City of Toronto’s Budget Committee” #toronto www.tps.ca/media-centre...

So let me get this straight! Brad Bradford - who's a cyclist and voted in favour of making the Richmond-Adelaide cycle tracks permanent in January 2019 - is now blaming those same bike lanes for gridlock on that street?! SMH! #shame #TOpoli #StopBradford #ReelectChow

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Hey #Toronto, I just chipped in to support Olivia Chow’s re-election campaign & you should too! I did it because I want to keep building on what’s already working - school meals for kids, frozen transit fares and real investments in this city. #TOpoli #ReelectChow share.oliviachow.ca/s/NVLWnecd

Thanks @albertkoehl.bsky.social of @bikewaysto.bsky.social for the great op-ed in @torontotoday.ca. Argues candidates for public office need to prioritize cities for people, not cars. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero www.torontotoday.ca/local/opinio...

GIVING Time for Brad Bradford on CBC METRO MORNING - ugh!!! He’s been campaigning & flip flopping for years! Let alone why are you not challenging his record and his ethics #toronto www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I’m hosting a neighbourhood Garden Party today 🐝 Municipal politics is important and I’m hoping to make it fun, festive, & easy to meet a candidate for Toronto City Hall. @debbiekingphp.bsky.social www.votedebbieking.ca

Wowowowow!! PLAY DEAD Luminato Festival “Montreal’s People Watching crafts a vivid blend of acrobatics, movement, and high octane circus that magnifies the absurdity of the everyday.” www.luminatofestival.com/play-dead

Here's the latest facepalm from Stephen Holyday; being the lone vote against the development of a maximum temperature bylaw! Those who live in #Etobicoke Centre need to vote @thismomroars.bsky.social in October and send Holyday packing! If you can donate or volunteer, even better. #TOpoli

Thank you @joshmatlow.bsky.social & @chrismoise.ca for getting this pedestrian streets program motion through council! Look forward to seeing what comes out of this matter, but we still need to ask candidates for public office to support pedestrianization and open streets. #WalkTO #BikeTO #TOpoli

I’m running! Serving as your TDSB Trustee has been an honour. Now, I’m ready to bring this same dedication, transparency and people-centred leadership to City Council. I’m running to move forward rooted in community—from representation to results. Learn more and join the campaign: votedebbieking.ca

Aidan Chamandy of @torontotoday.ca wrote about the pedestrianized streets program motion from @joshmatlow.bsky.social & @chrismoise.ca that will be debated at City Council this week. #WalkTO #BikeTO #TOpoli www.torontotoday.ca/local/city-h...

@joshmatlow.bsky.social great interview on CBC. It’s absurd the TPS are policing a couple of blocks open for pedestrians. When I lived in Brooklyn I enjoyed blocks of Vanderbilt Ave lively with people consistent from spring to fall!! No police. Physical barriers. A few volunteers. phos.nyc

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby—a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist—to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.

The Toronto Port Authority is delusional thinking their proposed $4-5B expansion of Billy Bishop Airport would be "self funded". Time for @mark-carney.bsky.social & the #LPC caucus to say #NoJetsTO once and for all! #cdnpoli #ONpoli #TOpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

For those who bike in Oakville, there will be a public consultation for Lakeshore Road East from Allan Street to Winston Churchill Boulevard on Tuesday, June 23 (6 - 8 PM) at Oakville Town Hall. Please attend if you can to show your support. #BikeTO #BikeSky #ONpoli www.oakville.ca/town-hall/ne...

This activist is ready to give up! Why? People come together & walk miles to cheer on a ⚽️ game; are passionate for 🏀 series; Hockey 🏒🥅 of course. But. Politics. Do they vote? Do they become educated on what level of government does what?! Will they rise up for ON Place, ON SciCtre & TO Island?

Last month, I finished reading @carterlavin.bsky.social's "If You Want to Win, You've Got to Fight" which is a short but effective advocacy manual for walking, cycling & transit supporters. A full review is now up on my blog. #BikeTO #BikeSky #WalkTO #TTC www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/06/revi...

Terrible news for #BikeTO! I got confirmation from @toronto.ca that the eglintonTOday Complete Street Project can no longer be completed because of changes to provincial legislation. Given the City had resurfaced that street last fall without bike lanes, it's on them too. #shame #TOpoli #ONpoli

Noted Bromptonist and silver-jacketed cycle advocate @jsquaredink.bsky.social was there to document it all too. We even had a convenient concrete island to stand on for Michael's presentation that kept us out of traffic and bikeways. Harbord/Hoskins shows how existing lanes can be upgraded nicely.

Great to hear Michelle on CBC Metro Morning today @unboxedmarket.bsky.social a zero waste market at 1263 Dundas St W Toronto who has always supported Canada 🇨🇦 & small local food producers!!

Dear Canadians, Stop buying US made vehicles. We can cripple their auto industry by simply not buying American-made cars. Buy the ones made anywhere but the USA. Our power as consumers is in our money. Don't buy their shit. There are plenty of alternatives out there. #boycotUScars
