HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT

I am not being funny when I say I stopped looking at my phone for 30 minutes because I was explaining EA to two friends who don’t work in tech and I looked because I got a text that buzzed my watch, this is maybe the first good thing EA has ever accomplished in its life

Toronto I am truly SO PROUD like insert all the caveats yes I’m as much of a #TOPoli junkie as the next person and I am not a Chow sueprfan by any means but WHAT A MARGIN

I am so confused??? By good news??? I can’t believe we get both Diana and Chiara at council, I can’t believe Stikuts prevailed, I can’t believe Saxe and Fletcher are both out??? Incredible night bsky.app/profile/gold...

also like, these numbers look BIG in absolute terms. I’m so curious to see voter turnout stats tomorrow. granted 2023 was a by-election, but that had 720k votes? and 2018’s Tory sweep had 750k total

my election night hot take is that a bunch of the progressives who won big had such a history of community organizing and knew how to mobilize a deep bench of volunteers, organizing matters so much and you can get started organizing literally anything. talk to people face to face, get organized
