hilarious (derogatory) for Danielle Smith to now push a set of gross anti-immigration referendum questions when just a few years back we had to see this shit on the TTC for an entire summer

"We will be mean to everyone around us and take advantage of all of them. In return, everyone around us will be kind and gracious to us and give us lots of goodies. We are very smart."

The electricity grid making an appearance at the Super Bowl half-time show 🤯

hear me out: peaky blinders but it's the toronto tow truck mafia in the 2020s

Whatever you think about Quebec sovereignists, at least they run in elections with the clear platform of “we are going to do a referendum” Alberta’s situation of a mealy-mouthed party who won an election almost 3 years ago with no explicit separation question on the ballot is much more fraught imo

90 minutes long?? Cancel the football game, this is MY super bowl

Dude where’s my car

we should expel the ambassador for this, not even joking

realizing that brutalism is Actually Good is the key to unlocking your architecture third eye

Sunday morning Toronto transit discourse nuke

Being profoundly upset about the 51st state stuff was not an unreasonable reaction.

most people, left and right, treat traffic violence like the weather and not a specific policy choice

Now that both York and TMU have stations named for them I feel it is my duty as an alum to demand that U of T also gets a station (it’s only fair). We will take either Queen’s Park or Museum. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Pedestrian struck by motorist on Parkside a block from the speed camera that vigilantes kept tearing down that caused ford to remove them from all Ontario. Drive as you wish Ontario. Nobody matters. This is what you voted for.

If you yank their supports they literally do wither on the vine. Car suburbs not being able to afford their own existence without higher-level gov’t support or endless sprawl growth is @strongtowns.org 101 stuff, it’s surprising to see Stancil so resistant to it.

I take it all back, maybe it’s actually good that millennials can’t afford homes

We're not against nice things, you see, we're just in favour of the rules that make nice things more-or-less impossible. It's very complex. Stop being mean to us on the internet.

"they're making corner stores a culture war issue"

run the ad again doug

😔

The vibes, they are very good. 🍁⚾️

Your regular reminder that a minority of anti-everything people have de facto control over quality of life in our city. They spout easily refutable lies, eg. "neighbourhood interiors were never intended for commercial activity", but councillors still take their side, almost every time.

These miserable misanthropes moved to a neighbourhood with grandfathered retail and then have the audacity to say it and not they are out of place. www.torontotoday.ca/local/city-h...

In this neighborhood we say NO to good pizza ✊ www.reddit.com/r/toronto/s/...

happy halloween

Uh oh, is the baseball team from Canada maybe a bit better than some people were expecting?? 😤😘

Stop giving Dougie ideas, Matt

We must now make Shohei Ohtani pay for his crimes against the people of Toronto

this mf flipped the game 7 leafs curse heritage ahh moment

I LOVE BLUE JAYS BASEBALL

he jumped in front of the throw! watch the replay, he literally leaps and turns when the ball is thrown. easy interference call

Toronto’s Cycling and Pedestrian Projects Team continues to hit it out of the park. Out for a ride today and here’s just some of the new cycling facilities that I came across. New concrete planters and permanent curbs on Harbord Street. /1

YOU DARE BOO THE BEAUTIFUL CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM. YOU PAY WITH BLOOD! YOU PAY WITH BLOOD!

DAAAAAAA YANKEES LOSE

Oh neat, in that case I guess Ontario and Quebec and the rest of us should all get a big say in how much oil is ripped out of the northern Alberta muskeg. Because there’s no such thing as Alberta’s oil sands, it’s Canada’s oil sands, right?? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"There is nothing funny about calling me or Donald Trump a fascist, and if you do, we will ship you to Guantanamo."

just remember canada: all that climate, renewable energy, ev, electrification stuff is woke fluff. the only way to save our country's economy is to build more oil pipelines to tidewater. elbows up!

It’s blindingly obvious that this is the only way to meaningfully improve traffic in the short term, which is why I’m very confident we won’t do it buildtoronto.com/memos/conges...

behold: the style of politics that delivers three straight majorities in Ontario www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

This chart is wild. Near vertical direction on solar capacity globally, led by China. And as Ember notes in a new report today, that trend is accelerating with nearly 400GW new capacity in first 6 months of 2025.

The key empty-headed fatuity to the Ezra Klein approach is that if you engage in a pantomime of "debate" by going places and taking questions, you're still "doing politics right" even if you are calling for people to be deported for speech or stoned for being gay. It's civic society cosplay.

So forget about storage and transmission for a sec, let's explore the idea that assets are worthless if used <50% of the time. -Snow plows -substantial fraction of the poles and wires (built to peak) -The Red River Floodway (Most days Winnipeg wouldn't flood anyway!) -Every gun and private car

when blue-collar union members lean conservative, it's normal and rational, because the left doesn't represent their views or speak to their needs when academics lean progressive, it's pernicious woke-capture that is eroding their ability to function in society www.readtheline.ca/p/christophe...

A 4-storey, 10 unit apartment building at 877 Ossington, two blocks north of Ossington station, has been held up for 9 months and counting at the committee of adjustment. It has 66 letters of opposition by my count, including from the local councillor. MTSA zoning can't come fast enough.

For a while, there was some high-profile debate about whether “fascist” was an appropriate word to describe Trumpism. Nobody serious debates it now, and the fact that it was debated at all seems ridiculous in hindsight. Same process will apply here.

people who don’t bike will never know how good it feels to bike the entire length of Shaw on a summer’s night

they could have been even further ahead on electricity decarb if they hadn’t hated their nuclear so much 😭
