Crack down on those e-bikes and cyclists but let speeding drivers in school zones off the hook. 🤔

Worth a watch/listen. Public libraries have become critical frontline services youtu.be/l4DrNFn25aw?...

Like public libraries, public transit systems are often on the frontlines of mental health & social services especially when those systems are under resourced

Now, Premier Ford doesn’t want to interfere in the investigation!? Rich. It didn’t stop him from commenting during other investigations/trials when it suited his political agenda

Is this Toronto’s worst commute? We test a TTC route so miserable, it forced one woman to move. Star reporter Andy Takagi is tracking Toronto’s worst commutes. Chat with him in the Star's live chat at 2 p.m. to learn more about his reporting.

Caught a glimpse today of the new bridge over the Don River for Ontario Line

Trump giving health advice to pregnant women about using Tylenol is of equal value as was his advice during COVID to inject bleach

Toronto is in its awkward, part rebellious, park geek phase. Better days are ahead. Must read by @shawnmicallef.bsky.social in today’s @thestar.com www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

@justinling.ca asks us very good questions like why are journalists, media & politicians still using Twitter? www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Our Elbows are still up! I’ll be interviewing Paul Langan tonight. Is High-Speed Rail finally on track or will plans get derailed yet again?

Ana is such a great choice to lead the new housing agency

Love this story. My sister Jenny - who also was one of a dozen kids, was born with Down’s syndrome & died too soon - had meaningful employment during her lifetime that gave her so much joy. Judy’s Beach Cafe is a must visit www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Excellent work

What the Globe said…👇

The premier is risking a lot with his public and escalating conclusions as to the accused’s guilt. Will it impact his right to a fair trial? How will this poor family feel if the charges are thrown out as a result?

We all need to be a lot more willing to call a lie a lie.

ESA has encouraged incredible Canadian talent www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

I’d like to see evidence related to productivity & hybrid working. I’d also like to see some study/predictions as to what returning to the office full-time will due to already crazy congestion in Toronto.

‘You had to fend for yourself’: Hurricane Katrina haunts New Orleans as Trump guts disaster aid

The pace of housing construction in Canada is picking up, but Ontario is pulling it down, a new analysis shows. While the rest of the country saw a bump in housing starts, Ontario saw a steep decline, especially in and around Toronto. #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1134226...

Brilliant planning & design…aging in place, growing families, so many benefits www.thestar.com/real-estate/...

Fords attacks on the judiciary- not unlike Trumps - should makes us all afraid www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Love to see Ford’s plan for the additional cars on the road that’s going to happen. Does he have a transit incentive or carpooling plan? Also, do they have enough desks or room for staff? Many, if not most public agencies downsized office space & even working hybrid staff must share a desk/office

Time to build indeed www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/national/new...

Great memory. 7 years ago today, a family lost their Marbles. This dog got on the train at Rouge Hills station and travelled solo to Union Station. He was happily reunited with his family

Globe reporter @carrietait.bsky.social was harassed online and followed and photographed. This piece lists all the stories that Carrie and @alannasmith.bsky.social uncovered about Alberta's healthcare system, from the Turkish meds to the hockey tickets. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

From @graphicmatt.com - does TTC not have fare capping with PRESTO like other GTHA transit agencies? www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

New from me at TVO: a forthcoming report from CivicAction makes for grim housing reading (is there any other kind, these days?) www.tvo.org/article/anal...

Very true points. I also worry that the grueling trial - regardless of the outcome - has already discouraged many survivors of sexual violence from ever speaking out

Spoke to @thestar.com about the challenges of operating call centres for public services www.thestar.com/news/gta/met...

Stalking, intimidation, violating…this is beyond deplorable

Toronto has the second worst air quality in the world right now — and a new study says smog and wildfire smoke can damage your heart

We explored this a bit more on CityNews today with insights from @femwriter.bsky.social, @moretransitso.bsky.social and Liberal MPP Rob Cerjanec. All say there are lessons to be learned here. #Toronto #Ontario #GOTransit #TOpoli #ONpoli toronto.citynews.ca/2025/07/10/g...

Nice to chat with @nwestoll.bsky.social at @citynewstoronto.bsky.social today toronto.citynews.ca/2025/07/10/g...

Replacing informative, compassionate customer service agents for public services like transit will no doubt backfire @thestar.com www.thestar.com/news/gta/met...

Baby needed some good news today

One of my fav restaurants Cafe Zuzu (I was just on this patio a few days ago) - driver late last night drove right thru it. No one hurt

1/Just read through the PricewaterhouseCoopers report on the TDSB used to justify the provincial takeover. Despite insinuations, PwC did not find any evidence of mismanagement, and found executive compensation currently in line with provincial rules. #topoli #onpoli www.ontario.ca/page/toronto...

Wow, feeling old

Always an emotional experience during the ESA grad ceremony when we present the annual Paul Aikins memorial scholarship. It’s 6 years now so these incredible grads never got a chance to meet Paul but they have benefited from his legacy

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow gets scorched in a political heatwave. Her comms strategy is underwater after public pools were closed in the middle of record breaking heat this week. @bobreidtoronto.bsky.social @femwriter.bsky.social @lcbroadhead.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/n...
