A quick explainer on Montreal’s election: The urbanist Projet Montréal party of outgoing mayor Valérie Plante has lost the election to the opposition Ensemble Montréal. Projet deserves a *lot* of credit for Montreal’s transformation in the past 10 or 15 years to be more bike/pedestrian-friendly.

Because that’s what Toronto does best: we bounce back, together. 😘 @lesleynope.bsky.social ✊🏾 @bluejays.com medium.com/@lanrickbenn...

We’re good. Hurts for sure, but OMG we are super proud of the team and coaches. Fans old & new were treated to an amazing post season. Do not worry too much. We are a city & community that are resilient. We bounce back. We got this. We still #WantItAll Nothing changes. We got this! @bluejays.com

LA😞 I’ve got friends in the city. Can’t understand this carnage.

The wonderful old-Twitter experience of a global group chat during a live event or breaking news is a thing you can't do on Threads bc of its trash algorithms and you can't do on X bc it's a Nazi propaganda weapon, but it's really happening on Bsky now and I hope more holdouts start to discover that

Ummm they are still OUR @bluejays.com and they did us proud. We’ve got some months to get geared up and take another trip to the post season. Last I checked, we still #WantItAll

❤️ @marianne-gig.bsky.social How much does cycling infrastructure cost? Wish #TOpoli had elected municipal reps that could speak with knowledge about the costs connected to investing in street infrastructure beyond cars. We need to get beyond ignorant people that yell a lot but really say nothing

“This Blue Jays team has been described as resilient, gritty, and tough as it worked its way through the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners. Now, as it sits one win away from defeating the juggernaut Los Angeles Dodgers and claiming the World Series title, you might be tempted to call it fated.”

"But Guerrero... is a relatively inexpensive top-tier star. Measured by AAV, 6 MLB players cost more than the Jays’ 1st baseman, including Dodgers pitcher Snell, whom the Jays pummelled in Game 1, & Ohtani, whom Guerrero took deep in Game 4." - @morganpcampbell.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/sports/baseb...

It’s wet out there #BikeTO Travelling to Thorncliffe Park Community Hub for a @unitedwaygt.bsky.social tour of this remarkable multifunctional space in the heart of the Thorncliffe Park community . Again taking advantage of some VIP parking with the stroller community h/t @ternbicycles.com

I was sent this clip & I 100% agree how lucky Toronto is that this guy yelling to the screen has absolutely zero to with city or transportation planning. Mitigating congestion in Toronto starts with removing car dependancy and creating options for everyone to move equitably across the city!

#ThIsTorontoDanforth Don’t let anyone tell you that streets need to be kept for cars. Huge win for the neighbourhood. Very real ability to #CopyAndPaste in multiple neighbourhoods. If we’re losing the ability target unsafe drivers w/ ASE, redesigning street to blunt speed is the next best thing.

#IdeasAtWork Umm @kayehm.bsky.social I had seen the work from both Queen St and Dundas St going on in Joel Weeks Park. Taken a look at temporary work over the last 18-24 months. All the feels started to burst when I took my bike though the construction area. What is Happening??? #VisionZero
