Gone fishin’

Oh that’s why even the local pizza place was “something’s going on tonight, I dunno”

Happiest football fan in Toronto, today

Ended up in a car, on Yonge heading south at Bloor. Parades today / tomorrow so of course it’s all chaos. (No stress, my choice and not planning) however 3 cop cars parked and well staffed, checking their phones. cars forced to turn left/right at Bloor thru less with no traffic support from police?!

Pride, in the hood :) #prideto #toronto #pride

Does a Reflecting Pool reflect, if nobody is there to gaze?

Moms everywhere support Mamdani now

Indigenous nations and people are at the forefront of the resistance contemporary fascism, from one so called border to the other.Colonialism is an ongoing process, it goes hand in hand with fascism. Far too often this goes unreported and unreflected upon.

What I learned recently is that Watergate was essentially Nixon worried that the Dems were going to reveal (October Surprise) the $100,000 cash he took from Howard Hughes.

when you just missed your train

How can they afford the policing?

is there any way to search for a used book in Toronto, online?

Law & Order, public safety; Dougie is your man

"the most consistent voting bloc is also the one that's both most reactionary and also least likely to have to endure the consequences of their choices, can't imagine this being a problem for democracy"

#NEW: Drivers speeding well above posted limit has surged nearly 400 per cent since removal of automated cameras. Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow speaks out

"Across 104 locations with comparable before-and-after data, staff found operating speeds increased in 101 of the locations after cameras were removed. “We’re talking about school zones, we’re talking about community zones, where the seniors and kids go to school every day." #OnPoli #ToPoli

Bad behaviour of "burrito bikes" is driving cycling progress backwards. #topoli #toronot #cycleto #biketo www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

Have you see the 'fifa refs' issuing red cards to non-compliant drivers in Toronto? I interviewed @martinreis.bsky.social the man behind this fun intervention about his many delightful urbanist art projects in the new episode of Future Mending Radio. Listen: www.buzzsprout.com/2396702/epis...

Not sure if this is a pedal assist or a scooter style e-bike, but an e-bike rider was killed at Kingston and Sheppard yesterday. RIP. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero www.cp24.com/local/toront...

World Cup Fever - like sore throat, sinus, general crap - is gripping Toronto. I guess it makes sense, influx of people and lots of crowd gatherings.

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

For Toronto Bike Geeks, esp with Bike Share tendencies. Bike Share Toronto + Lyft + Chicago DOT July 15 webinar #biketo zoom.us/webinar/regi...

How weird, Montreal's pedestrianized streets don't require extra policing.

Just a straight up hold up. Pedestrianized streets need fewer cops, not more, because the cops don't need to pretend to be policing traffic violations. The idea that pedestrian zones require more policing than car sewers which also have, you know, pedestrians, is nonsense. #TOpoli

This is what people trying to hide criminality do.

Crazy the amount of bike share usage in Toronto these days. Bike lanes are just packed. Especially along the waterfront. 😍

Damn fine day for this dad

One of the great moments from today, checking out the Pedestrian Church St. (thx @chanface.bsky.social &co.)

Happy Father's Day 🖤

Wow @observingthecity.ca just added an amazing 🤩 new feature for tracking #bikeshare toronto historical ridership year over year growth! Click on ANY Station and see a live graph of trips!

Bike Party passed thru our hood tonight, def. looks like even more fun on a bike! @bikepartytoronto.bsky.social #biketo

I’m happy they are in such demand - but damn I can’t count on getting an ebike if I need one, and instead choose more expensive or time consuming options. AND from experience this year, the last ebike or 2 often aren’t working :( #bikeshare #bikeshareto

And once again, Prince has sent word thru the trees, and the Time of Purple has begun anew.

Double #BeckTaxi for this family tonight.

Do you know an engineer/engineering student who can help us design ramps for the pedestrianization? It costs too much to rent 7 ramps so we wanna build it ourselves lol Also some more slides about the church street pedestrianization: assets.nationbuilder.com/villagebia/m...

Per this article by @jm-mcgrath.bsky.social, the recent one day bike share record of 49,000 rides is even greater than ridership of the 501 Queen streetcar (43,700) and the Line 4 Sheppard subway (38,300)! Let's keep expanding this crown jewel of a program! #BikeTO #TTC #TOpoli #VisionZero

Time and again, what Google maps Toronto travel times reveal is that transit riders consistently have it the worst.

Shared Mobility for the win. Add in all the people now using Communauto / Enterprise-AutoShare / Zipcar instead of owning (and driving more ) and the Transition has started. Break the need to own, and people will be happier, healthier & richer. We all will.

I wrote about the fog of secrecy surrounding the expansion of Billy Bishop airport. When even the mayor doesn't have the whole picture, you know there's trouble www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

If you are running a survey, and are “non-political”, I think this is where it all breaks down Mr Debow (a City is not a zero sum game) ie how about (4) none of the above (4) raise or adjust tax base, or fees, to accommodate budget needs (5) other #topoli #buildCanadasurvey

Build Canada phone survey on Billy Bishop Airport Expansion #topoli

Bike Parking & Tea in high demand at Purpose Economy Coffee meetup today at Centre for Social Innovation. Met some fun new people, and even an old pal from grade school. (no bsky, CSI?)

FWIW when I did my occasional check in n how Fxnews is covering events yesterday, NOTHING about Iran War on their homepage. It must be going well.

drain the swamp?

The Toronto Port Authority has shared its early plans for the $5 billion expansion of Billy Bishop airport with provincial & federal officials, but is withholding this information from Mayor Olivia Chow and the public www.thestar.com/news/gta/may... #onpoli #cdnpoli #TOpoli

“I know there’s a consultant report. Make it public,” Chow told reporters Tuesday morning... “Why are they trying to hide it?” www.thestar.com/news/gta/may...

No Toronto Liberal MP should take being reelected for granted. They continue to play this city. Their own TPA is making plans (900m runway), asking for non disclosure agreements and not revealing anything while MPs keep saying they know nothing, they’ll stand up for TO. Just constant emptiness.

The parent here should work at NHTSA. The agency hasn't adopted any regulations addressing distracting infotainment systems. Not a single one.
