Absolutely this. Build apartments and keep United Bakers, some other retail, and a grocery store and those seniors will have an awesome community right outside their door.

How can you not be romantic about baseball?

“For 29 remarkable days in October (and November) they made us feel like we were in something together.” Always enjoy Cathal Kelley’s writing.

I know we like to complain about politicians, but I had a good interaction today: I emailed a city Councillor (not mine) about the state of a park in their ward and they responded (for real - not a form response!) in less than 24 hrs to say they've already taken action. Very happy to hear that!

Vladdy!!

This makes it sound even worse that they didn’t put in the dedicated lanes, for the sake of what? A couple hundred parking spaces that are occupied 18% of the time?

Mine is “Think harder, Homer”. I say this *routinely* to my kids.

@wilnerness.bsky.social when a glove gets damaged like that, do the Jays have someone on staff who can re-lace them? It seems to be a niche skill.

This one sucks.

This is a neat opportunity for youth interested in politics and government! Know any keen 16-20 year olds? Link below.

This kind of rhetoric really bothers me. I live in this city. I’d really like for my kids to be able to move out one day and be able to continue to live in this city so I don’t have visit them in Sudbury or Timmins. I’d like for them to have options.

Help expand car share across Toronto - send an email to City Council! www.kevrup.ca/carshare Toronto has outdated & unfair rules about on-street permit parking in Scarborough, North York & Etobicoke residents which prevent car share from operating in these areas. [1/3]

Is anyone able to watch the Canadian Screen awards online right now? The news, entertainment, politics awards were supposed to be streamed, I thought, but the site isn’t working.

It's always worth reposting this. I watch it every time it crosses my timeline, which means I've seen it at least 5 times today.

The Last Temptation of Christ (Peter Gabriel!), Pride & Prejudice and Atonement, both by Dario Marianelli.

Maybe it’s because the conservatives are spending a bunch of ad money with CBC right now? A friend heard 5 Poilievre ads in about 30 mins on radio.

OMG The Pitt

Saw a matte black cybertruck earlier and thought of Lego Batman, not the Christian Bale version the owner probably wanted me to think of.

I prefer to call it Voting Day because it's active, we need to be active, & today is the day we get to be active. Saying "Election Day" is more passive - candidates will get elected - but on Voting Day we get to (have to!) do something. So brave the weather, get out there & be active: VOTE.

Today’s the day, Ontario. Get out and vote! 🗳️

Have you got a voting plan for tomorrow? It's usually easy peasy & can be again, even if you don't have a voter card. Check elections.on.ca for your location, & head there with your ID like it says below. Please vote tomorrow! #ONPoli

@bsky.app it's so easy to switch accounts on desktop - can we get that on the app as well? It's kinda buried in the app and requires 4-5 clicks...

This is a really interesting, thoughtful interview with the former actor and longtime CBC broadcaster Jeff Douglas about the resurgence of the iconic Molson "I Am Canadian" commercial in the last two weeks due to the trade war and his mixed feelings about the ad's message: www.cbc.ca/radio/asitha...

Still thinking about this from @graphicmatt.com a few days ago. Having a nonprofit to fundraising and operate Old City Hall seems like a good idea to me... A Toronto Museum & mix of 401 Richmond & Artscape venue would be awesome. Who's going to do it? www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Um, what rock have I been under that I missed this news?! www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

This is astonishingly well-edited and is worth watching in full. My jaw dropped several times at the mixes.

It's only one sentence in here, but actually a huge problem: "In the case of a common-law partner in Ontario, that individual would not be entitled to anything." If you're common law with your partner, it's cheaper to get a will than to pay lawyers when someone passes away. PLEASE have a will.

Looking forward to this tonight! (And I hear that tea & cookies will be available to warm you up on a chilly night... Don't let the weather keep you away from an interesting event!)

Join me on Wed Dec 4 for a live screening of "Better Ballots"! Changing our voting system would change who runs, how they run, how we vote, who wins, & how elected officials operate after the election. We'll have a great discussion, and we can make it happen! Join us! eventbrite.ca/e/unrigged-s...

Thought of @dieworkwear.bsky.social this morning and how “clothing is political” while walking down the subway platform and saw an older man wearing a navy suit, white shirt, and red tie. Not sure if he knew the message he was sending with his outfit?
