The rally is as far away from downtown as you can get and still be in the city but I've seen lots of cars with flags honking on Richmond.

Canadians, where did you learn to skate? I learned on our backyard rink by pushing around a chair like this until I could skate unassisted. #canada #skating

MY EYES!

The boy who was interviewed on CBC News last night with his mum, had sadness and confusion playing out across his face. The world weariness in his eyes was devastating. He had to barricade his classroom door and wait. I imagine he looked like a normal teen 24 hours before that.

Let’s come together as a country and surround them with ❤️ support, like they need. The fundraiser is verified and put out by the Tumbler Ridge Parents’ advisory council. #Canadasky 🇨🇦

Not bashing other demographics but I won't unmute for almost anything. I'm GenX cranky & get crankier hearing ads, notifications, music I don't like, w/o my consent. Podcasts not professionally produced? AI crap? No thanks. Yours in rigidity, Old Fart GenXer.

Seeing lots of posts about riding the LRT which opened today. Mazel and may the odds be ever in your favour if you braved the cold and the very real chance that it wouldn't actually happen.

Whose voice & verbal tics will I have to learn to imitate now?! Srsly tho, good luck, Buck. You'll be missed!

This is why people who live in Toronto have little confidence or trust in Toronto cops. The TPS has to be the most corrupt force in Canada.

The post-snowstorm sidewalk obstacle course — the City made good on its promise to improve snow clearing on streets in the aftermath of a big snowfall — sidewalks, not so much, writes @johnlorinc.bsky.social. #TOpoli spacing.ca/toronto/2026...

Yes, we had a major snow event. Yes, the city is triaging, and many sidewalks in particular still need work. But it's been a week and arterial bikeways are remain unrideable and worse appear to be dumping grounds for snow-clearing. What's the plan, Toronto? www.torontotoday.ca/local/transp...

It's a week later & look at the mess. This is Queen which gets a lot more attention than other streets, too. This is why Toronto bitches & freaks out over snow storms. It's not the snow, it's the poor response from the city in cleaning it up. Shout out to the 501, though.

"I owe more to Canadians than they'll ever know. In my baseball career they were the first to make me feel my natural self." - Jackie Robinson, on his 1946 season with the Montreal Royals. *Today would've been Jackie Robinson's 107th Birthday.

No, no, NO. This is way too soon for her. SCTV was everything to me as a little kid in Canada. I loved her in everything that came after that. This is an incredible loss.

Heard noise and assumed it was a snowplough or garbage trucks. Didn't feel anything, really.

My favourite part of the article is this excerpt because it so delightfully understates the debacle. When/if it does start, I await the inevitable items about how parents w strollers and seniors w mobility devices out-run it. #toronto

Environment Canada says there's a 40% chance of flurries tonight and the next 3 days. It ain't over, Toronto.

Staying inside during this storm is extra nice because there isn't any traffic noise. Living downtown is noisy so it's nice to get a break. Few sirens now and then, but nothing like usual. Can't really see further than across the street. Stay safe, Toronto.

Canada needs to expel all US embassy/consulate staff now. All sane democracies need to shut down/expel US armed forces bases in their countries. They're killing their own citizens. If their citizens can't trust them, none of us can.

I'm in M5 so not for me, but maybe you qualify?

The ultimate winter in Toronto song and totally appropriate for tonight. IYKYK www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Mwc...

Five concerts you've seen with women singers. All in Toronto: Lilith Fair (dozens of acts!) Cesária Évora Lucinda Williams Eurhythmics Measha Brueggergosman (for a non-opera album she released)

So, there's a strategy available for dealing with the rogue US. * Boycott * Divest * Sanction Also, * Call in their debt * Kick out their military bases * Require visas for American travelers * Form new alliances and trade partnerships without them * Move UN headquarters

With apologies to Tom Waits: And a Toronto hiker with a cue-ball head He's wishing he's home in a Toronto bed But there's fifteen feet of snow in the east Colder than a well-digger's ass And it's colder than a well-digger's ass #toronto #coldwinter

Eeeesh, this caption: "While plows were busy cleaning up during a major winter storm last Thursday, Barrie police allege a man and woman were moving a different kind of snow --- cocaine."

When I was too young & small to be an effective shoveller, I was sent out with a broom to uncover the cars. When my adult household had a driveway, we had a garage so no car cleaning necessary. Now it's a no driveway, no car, in a highrise building with an empty heated parking space household.

Those of us in Toronto of a certain age will know all the words to Circular Impression. A bouncy, ska-ish tune with key changes and funny lyrics. A CFNY staple and relentlessly upbeat.

The typical snide remarks from ppl outside of Toronto are floating around already. Yes, Toronto isn't the only place to get snow in ON. The point is, despite winter happening every year, Toronto seems to be the least prepared to handle storms. Living here, it get so frustrating.

Bonté divine! As a gen x Ontarian who began French instruction in primary school, I'm shocked down to my no-show socks. We would NEVER tutoyer the teacher. Mind you, the curriculum was pretty stuffy, which is why I know the phrase bonté divine.

WTAF? The Democrats are hung up on decorum and civility and playing by the rules DESPITE knowing since at least 2015 that this MFer and his cult don't care about it. They lie, they cheat, they steal, they kill, they ignore the law. QUIT WAITING FOR THEM TO PLAY FAIR. Get rid of them now.

I'd be okay with the whole of AB being ceded to the First Nations there. Let them have a sovereign territory taking over the whole province.

"Canadians hit the U.S. where it hurts: booze, travel and orange juice" I can only claim assistance with the travel boycott & it's a continuance of my boycott during his first term starting in 2016. I never bought US booze & don't recall the last time I had orange juice. But, go Canada!

I mean, do we have to keep doing everything? We have 41M population & we've taken down: bourbon US tourism CBS news Imagine what a country of 342M could do if it got off its ass & did more than marching? "Oh, we can't strike, we'll lose everything!" Like losing everything isn't already in progress.

Personally, I had no part in this because I've never bought bourbon in the past anyway. I've visited KY many times & enjoyed it but fuck Mitch McConnell (not that he'd notice with the absence seizures). Fuck the president. Fuck the GOP. Canadians don't play. Ignore us at your peril.

Gloomy December day in Toronto, I'm listening to The Motors' Love and Loneliness. Do you enjoy thunderous drum fills & cymbal smashing, 80s synth-y new pop? If so, this is for you. Tenement Steps is a good album.

Additional Warming Centres will open at 5 p.m. due to extreme cold temperatures: 📍 Cecil Community Centre, 58 Cecil St. 📍 Jimmie Simpson Recreation Centre, 870 Queen St. E. The previously opened Warming Centres remain open. Find locations: toronto.ca/warmingcentres.

Hilarious! Make sure all your posts don't use Calibri, too. Living close to the border I was a frequent visitor pre-2016. I don't expect I'll ever go back now.
