Let’s do 15 years of consultations and studies to throw out the one thing that time and time again residents asked for. Hilarious and a great encapsulation of the “City of Toronto.” You will never get a pedestrianized street, but you will get millions spent in the process to not get there.

my god, just do a pilot during FIFA and ban cars off a stretch of yonge, and activate it. our city lacks any of the public space that has existed in every other first-rate canadian city. this is being watered down into a mere sidewalk expansion that we'll be lucky to even get in the next 3-4 years

Just a reminder that THIS is what we were supposed to get. Now staff are watering down an already watered down plan No ambition, no courage, and not even listening to the thousands of people who’ve asked for pedestrianized spaces in the city. Instead, Yonge will be car-choked. We will raise hell.

YongeTOmorrow was supposed to be fully pedestrian in the centre, approved 2021 and finished 2025. What a complete waste of time.

the higher engagement and likes over on the other app was nice, but counterpoint: i like opening my replies on bluesky and not being hit with 1-6 hate crimes per day. the worst I'll encounter here is someone with *shudders* a bad opinion

Manitoba to have their plan how to become the 2nd bilingual province for ~ March 2027!

Just truly some of the stupidest, most vicious people on Earth. Denmark had to send armed forces to Greenland to head off a US threat in *January of this year*. And now they're pissy because NATO isn't eager to wade into an entirely optional quagmire. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Conservative shadow-ministers are calling him “DOGE-like”. Frankly I don't think he wants to win anymore, he wants to lead the Reform party.

Michael Ford is not running for mayor of Toronto after all www.thestar.com/news/gta/mic...

Tight race between Ford and *checks notes* Interim leader John Fraser (who?)

Ford practically endorsing the Liberals wasn't on my bingo card!

And the far right grifterverse continues. Can’t believe he almost became PM.

The People Yearn for the Train

Ask yourself this question…what do you think support for Alto would be in AB? Now take a look at the chart below to see the results... I once again call for Carney to announce an Alto project for Calgary to Edmonton, not bc it’s wise, but because it would fuck with Poilievre & be very very funny

Support for building the big train: 🔴 Liberal: 72% ⚜️ Bloc: 68% 🟠 NDP: 65% 🔵 CPC: 58% 🟢 Green: 58% K but I have a question - Green Party??

They are highlighting the results of a recent survey they commissioned from Abacus - claiming “weak support” based on the fact that “only 25% strongly support” the rail line. I might call this a mischaracterization of the results.

Ontario declares that cars are people and you get 2 votes if you drive-thru vote. Ford thousand year dynasty continues You heard it here first folks

Smh where's the transit oriented voting where you can vote on the ION LRT

I think it’s more fear the police union will do another ad campaign demanding money and campaigning directly against your reelection.

Happy International Trans Day of Visibility to all! 🏳️‍⚧️

Y’know what fine, the CPC can have Alberta and the Liberals can have Ontario and Quebec. Let’s see how that works out.

I maintain that the influx of Americans during Vietnam are one of three key things that changed Toronto from a provincal colonial backwater to the great city is is today (others being immigration in general and Quebec seperatism sending capital and talent here). Brains have to drain somewhere.

Writing off Ontario and Quebec seems like a bad move, but carry on

do not let this man anywhere near the reins of power

Conservatives try to stand for something instead against something challenge: impossible Axe the tax Whats next? Derail the rail??

As long as Poilievre is at the helm, we cannot let the CPC return to power.

The issue is that the federal government has no ability to compel the anglophone provinces to improve their french education systems.

I’m calling for a total moratorium on American opinions about bilingualism.

I’m (re)learning French in my 30s, and now I think anglophone school in an anglophone area is kinda hopeless. The only thing that works is: - French immersion school - Or actually engaging in french media (e.g. watch a billion hours of Quebec YouTube)

the 15th person to tell me that Letterkenny (filmed in and around Sudbury) is spiritually Southwest Ontario (not included in this map that just runs up the middle north of Toronto for simplicity's sake) wins a toaster

The atmosphere layers of central Ontario in pop culture

Everyone hates Tom Muclair. And Tom Muclair hates everyone back.

Alberta is always the problem in every situation, it’s not hard. And Saskatchewan just does what Alberta tells it to.

The brother of the Heated Rivalry casting director is now leader of Canada’s left party.

I’m going to need a diagram for which NDP hates which other NDP

I think the upset was how bad Rob Ashton did. He seemed to have really botched his campaign

the triple venn diagram between "we don't want shelters in our neighbourhood, unhoused people deserve permanent housing" and "we don't want this rental building here, bc it's not truly affordable" and "social housing doesn't fit in here because (made-up reason)" is mostly one big circle

I try not to let this side of me drive my politics but the sight of billionaire masters of the universe CEOs saying they simply don't have the wherewithal to pick up a skill the median Canadian 10 year old can manage when asked is... frustrating

We should ban American posts about Quebecois language politics imo

😭😭😭😭😭 Don’t give him anymore ideas

CBC has a great podcast series on the history of sex testing and the impact on DSD/intersex athletes that I’d recommend www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-p...

😭😭😭😭😭 this is frying me so bad

The fact that there are still progressive that complain about the Ontario Line vs the old DLR despite the huge increase in scope and funding boggles my mind. I get that Ford has messed with the city, is corrupt, and people rightfully hate the man but call a win a win

Have you noticed that Transit App and Google Maps don't show when your LRT is *actually* arriving? Are next-train screens in stations showing inaccurate times? While real-time arrivals work for buses and streetcars, a Metrolinx firewall is blocking real-time tracking from riders on the new LRTs 1/

Rob Ford preferred subways over LRTs because he didn’t want transit slowing down cars. I prefer subways over LRTs because I don’t want cars slowing down transit. 🤝

See also subways are right coded (only in Toronto, the centre of the universe)

I am not sure that this is how restaurants actually work.
