Line 5 Eglinton: No service between Cedarvale and Mount Dennis stations while the maintainer fixes a track problem.

Such a silly question from a Cllr that prides himself at saving money even at the expense of some of our most vulnerable city residents. And some of those residents do indeed live in Ward 2

Six Toronto councillors voted against even debating the possible creation of a Pedestrian Streets Program

Holyday suggests the city should be charging more for rain barrels, given they were all claimed in just nine hours last time. But the item CARRIES via show of hands. More barrels coming.

Random reminder that Toronto Council timidly suggested once that they might, might trim the police budget and in response the police implemented a decade-long refusal to enforce traffic laws.

PRESS RELEASE: TDSB parents are demanding accountability and transparency from the Supervisor and the Minister on the 2026-2027 TDSB budget. #onted #onpoli #topoli

Yesterday, France had it’s hottest day ever recorded. And in the midst of this record breaking heat wave, France had to *shut down nuclear reactors* because the water they use as a coolant is too hot. Nuclear is not the answer. #onpoli #topoli

We are going to turn vacant condos into affordable homes for British Columbians. Because we will seize every opportunity to get more affordable housing for Canadians.

We can’t solve Etobicoke Centre’s transit gaps by freezing housing and parking reform. If service is the issue, the responsibility is to improve transit, not use its shortcomings as a reason to delay change. #TOpoli #Etobicoke

Oh, wow. Councillor Holyday wants to add on extra requirements for housing because he has concerns about transit service gaps in Etobicoke-York? Surely a good faith concern he's been working consistently to address. Now to take a big drink of water and search the City Hall Watcher Live archives.

HousingNowTO gives a dang fine affordable housing tour. Any Toronto municipal incumbents and challengers would be well served to get in touch and find out about the affordable housing projects that are in the pipeline for their ward. (and how to make them pencil)

Jessie Ye of @bikewaysto.bsky.social recently prepared a graduate research report on cyclist safety in construction zones. A summary of her findings was published in @spacing.bsky.social. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero spacing.ca/toronto/2026...

I think being a Toronto councillor is actually a really difficult thing to do well but I remain mystified why some of the councillors who really clearly aren't up to the task don't draw good challengers.

New from The Etoicoke Voice: One Month In: Etobicoke’s 2026 Municipal Election Remains in Early Formation theetobicokevoice.substack.com/p/one-month-... #Etobicoke #TOpoli #Onted

Holyday's shadowy concerns don't sway council. They vote 20-1 to APPROVE the zoning for the 970 Kipling project.

Just sharing the latest update from my LinkedIn page due to the length of message plus the links to the 3 substack posts mentioned: theetobicokevoice.substack.com/p/lets-talk-... theetobicokevoice.substack.com/p/a-communit... theetobicokevoice.substack.com/p/shaping-et... #Etobicoke #TOpoli

Today NoJetsTO is launching a Federal E-Petition! Sponsored by @elizabethemay.bsky.social, it calls for the government of Canada to say no to jets at the island airport and save our waterfront! Sign now: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

I’m at a provincial committee where deputants are presenting how Doug Ford’s Bill 98 will negatively impact green building standards in Ontario. On the right, opposition MPPs listening intently to the deputants. On the left, Doug Ford’s MPPs scrolling on their phones and laptops. #onpoli #topoli

Thanks so much for the mention @graphicmatt.com

Municipal election season & I'm kinda conflicted, I love observing and writing about it but I could not sleep last night and I did some digging, my ward has NEVER been represented by a woman since at least amalgamation! This bugs me #TOpoli theetobicokevoice.substack.com/pub/theetobi...

Someone may have been permanently paralyzed. But the headline only talks about some drivers being temporarily inconvenienced.

Save Toronto Island! Premier Ford has expropriated the entire Toronto island for his jet scheme. Sign our petition and tell your elected rep to abandon this terrible plan at NoJetsTO.com! #topoli #onpoli

"[Speed cameras] worked, but cancelling them became political currency. So now we just have the crossing guards. Human speed bumps, you could say, because that’s how they’re treated. By drivers and by the city and society who employ them." #GiftLink 🎁 #OnPoli #ToPoli

New Post In The Etobicoke Voice theetobicokevoice.substack.com/p/two-weeks-... 2 wks from the start of #TOpoli election season & tonight the post talks about the importance of being an active & informed voter! Side note -The E Voice started b/c I saw a need for local media after the 2022 election

Why not do likewise, Ontario?

Supervisors that Doug Ford appointed to school boards are charging $240,000 for 6 months of work and some are charging HST on top of that. #ontario #onpoli #onted #ontarioschools #frankdomenic🍁

This boy is in critical condition. This is a former speed camera site and a crosswalk with difficult sightlines (which means a speed camera was *important*). You can bet Ford's people are prepared with key messages about this. This is shameful. This is deeply upsetting. #OnPoli #ToPoli

Councillor Morley's motion to look at easing up on the mute swan population control program CARRIES 20-4. secure.toronto.ca/council/agen...

Honestly, that’s way, way more yeas than I would have guessed. Well done, most of you.

We'd personally recommend against using "CUPE 416" and "move to strike" in the same breath

A deeper dive is in order to find out why Holyday is standing up for slumlords.

New school w/o proper AC? A local trustee spoke up. Parents spoke up & the decision was reversed. That should have been a win for the community. But instead of ending there, things escalated. Today in The Etobicoke Voice. theetobicokevoice.substack.com/p/when-local... #Etobicoke #Topoli #Onpoli

The biggest riot in Toronto history saw tens of thousands of people attacking Greek businesses, falsely believing Greece was on the other side of WWI. It's just one of the stories we'll cover in A HISTORY OF RIOTS IN TORONTO. Starts Thurs! Pay what you like! adambunch.com/riotsregistr...

A much needed distraction as I work on some pretty in depth rough political pieces coming in the next few days, so today's Etobicoke Voice post is a fun one! open.substack.com/pub/theetobi...

Three strong pieces by Jack in three days. It's the story of the decline of Ontario. The imperial emperor is busy on the waterfront. Not sure about fiddles.

Anyone need any more proof that Ford is Trump Lite?

theetobicokevoice.substack.com/p/etobicoke-... Enough is enough, no one should be scared of crossing roads but with more & more congestion plus distracted drivers, it's hard to feel safe. This report coming to council suggests upgrading many to proper traffic lights and I'm all for it! #TOpoli

This is so dangerous @ttchelps.bsky.social

Term limits is renewal & designing a city government that works for its residents. Its not an attack on current politicians, its just a very matter of fact discussion we need to have in #TOpoli I break the ice and start that conversation today at theetobicokevoice.substack.com/p/when-does-...

Councillor Holyday: Putting a lot of effort into, and failing at, making family life less affordable. #TOpoli

NEW: Tuition of $30K+ per year is not holding back a growing number of Toronto parents from exploring private schools for their kids for next year. In interviews and statements, six local private schools say they're seeing a jump in demand. #topoli #onpoli www.torontotoday.ca/local/educat...

The City Council budget debate got me thinking today and it got me writing as well - some thoughts as we head into the season of sitting Councillors hunting for sound bites for the fall election - also known as Silly Season! #TOpoli #ONpoli theetobicokevoice.substack.com/p/pillars-ma...
