Happy Passover, Chag Pesach Sameach, and a Zissen un Koshern Pesach!

BREAKING: information now coming in that the Dutch have been hoarding the solution to the oil crisis.

Best game of D&D of my life, and Avi was the DM. #ndp

America did not meet the universal adult suffrage criteria of democratic governance until 1965. Gatorade is the exact same age as American democracy.

No #UPexpress trains this weekend Toronto :(

Ford is hiding his controversial changes to freedom of information laws to exempt the premier & cabinet ministers from disclosure, is included in his budget bill! 🤬 His MPPs will all have to vote with the budget bill, and thus the FOI changes! What a horrible, sneaky, corrupt government! #onpoli

We’re building the Manhattan-side bike lane and pedestrian entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge in time for the World Cup. New Yorkers deserve to enjoy the game on their feet, on their bikes, and with ease.

Elsie MacGill was the first woman in the world to earn a master’s degree in aeronautical engineering (1929). The "Queen of the Hurricanes" was a pioneering Canadian aircraft designer who led production of the Hawker Hurricane fighter planes during #WWII. She was born #OTD in 1905. #WomenInSTEM

Maybe I’m weird, but I think people should face real repercussions for driving a truck so modified you can’t see you’re running over someone in a parking lot globalnews.ca/news/1174246...

Cherry blossoms and palm trees, nobody does March like Vancouver, gets me every time

And here’s Europe’s newest night train, departing Paris Nord for Berlin Good job European Sleeper! 👏 #CrossBorderRail

I am the guy in charge of writing the PSI on bike tires, I figure no one cares what the tire pressure is, so I will make it as difficult as possible to read.

It's crazy just how universally negative the Reddit comments are about the Wealthsimple prediction market news. People DO NOT want this. www.reddit.com/r/canada/com... www.reddit.com/r/onguardfor... www.reddit.com/r/CanadianIn... www.reddit.com/r/CanadaPoli...

we just need a delivery robot to run over a kid on a scooter so the tribune editorial board can write the worst article ever written

Slice of a Setting Sun

A few of us advocates got together to start enumerating all of the things the city and TTC should be fixing (and should have a long time ago) and created a group with a ten point plan. We estimate you could save *billions* of dollars of peoples time in just the first decade.

My updated statement on Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.

Drop by Queen & Jarvis today at 2pm for the launch of Canada’s 1st Battery Swapping hub by #Popwheels

@cycletoronto.bsky.social In Markham, on April 14, a city councillor is going to be introducing a motion for a "temporary" moratorium on new bicycle lanes. Do you have connections with folks who might be interested in this? Full text of the motion: pub-markham.escribemeetings.com/filestream.a...

EXCITING NEWS! On Apr 13, 14 & 15 we're giving away 500 FREE delivery bags to app-based delivery riders who attend our Safe Cycling Session (rules of the road, what to do in a crash and how to deal with police ticketing). Collab w Bike Brigade @cycletoronto.bsky.social & @tomflood.bsky.social

“clown event still possible” put that in your pocket, I can already tell you that this is the key phrase of 2026

SNL UK episode #1 was fascinating for the language that they could use (and shown on Canadian TV) that could NEVER be used without a bleep on SNL.

Currently on France TV, the new mayor of Paris Grégoire celebrating his victory by biking around on a bike share. He’s now taking an interview while riding.

A street in midtown somehow convinced their councillor to get the rules changed so only those with street permits could park. Effective privatisation of a public resource. This is what it looked like mid-morning on Saturday

OMG SNL UK

Dark Satanic Mills. I turned to William Blake’s 1808 poem "And did those feet in ancient time" (aka Jerusalem) to understand what delivery workers mean to our modern lifestyles in today’s @thestar.com

Excited to be a part of this great step for fire safety, urban mobility & energy transition. Popwheels is launching next week in Toronto, bringing UL certified batteries to safe, outdoor, monitored charging cabinets designed for the rigours of food delivery. #topoli #biketo

Highly recommend #ThieveryCorporation tour / show. For a band that could've just phoned the show in, they had multiple bands and genres of live music playing with their signature warm electronica. Plenty of reggae grooves. Yo Montreal & Ottawa, go dance yourself back a few decades this weekend.

I'm happy Toronto is looking at their zoning to make it easier install low carbon technology. I would however like more councillors to ask themselves if the zoning code restricts low carbon *housing types*. www.toronto.ca/city-governm...

This is a tragedy. Unimaginable for the family. It also connects to challenges with over-powered, under-regulated and too often down-played-as-toys vehicles. (While the story is not fixed, it certainly appears this was a “pocket bike” - a motorcycle for kids.) www.thestar.com/news/gta/met...

"Pocket Bikes" are mini motorcycles that can go 55k/hr and are marketed "for kids 5+". “But this is a time, unfortunately, to remind our kids that when they’re on these bikes to really mind the crossings, particularly at railway passings here,” Peel police Const. Tyler Bell-Morena

Treating passenger rail as an ineffectual jobs program instead of as a vital transportation connection is how we end up with a national railway that somehow manages to lose $55 per boarding moving people between Montreal and Toronto and insists on weighing your luggage

2. Toronto was a *very* Irish place in the late 1800s. By the middle of that century, more a third of the people living here had been born in Ireland — the highest percentage on the continent, higher even than Boston or New York.

I’d use flex posts to give the illusion it’s safe to cross

Big waves at beach in Toronto

🧵Doug Ford's former chief of staff traded in his old phone without properly backing it up, losing months of texts from a key period in 2023, including around the Greenbelt fallout. How do we know? An FOI request which wouldn't be allowed under the new rules. #OnPoli

🚨 🚨 Allowing jets at the Island Airport could lead to the loss of over 100 storeys in the planned residential buildings in the Port Lands. It’s a fine example of how jets don’t fit on our waterfront! Read more: ontario.transportaction.ca/wordpress/wp... #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

Just three weeks before he was assassinated Malcom X appeared on a Canadian game show. It is incredible footage. It reveals how Canadian media saw Malcom X as compared to how he was treated in the United States. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqmy...

This is a case study in penny-wise pound-foolish. There's no way this doesn't wind up costing us more in almost every imaginable way. The consumption won't stop, but the people will wind up in emergency rooms and worse. Those facilities already stretched thin by Ford.

OMG how is this not yet movie/series?! 1857 ship sinks, full of gold & secrets, pre civil war. 1988 it's discovered by Tommy Thompson & co., but century-old legal battles ensue. When finally settled, $50 million released to Thompson, but investors see none... (1/3) 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/u...

Mar 14, 1949: the Montreal Locomotive Works outshops the last new standard gauge steam locomotive built for a Canadian railway. The Canadian Pacific Railway 2-10-4 Selkirk No. 5935 was part of the T1c class, the largest steam locomotives ever built in Canada. 1/2

Every city needs a great and capable airport, but a redundant airport on prime land is a waste.
