Interesting map showing how Olivia Chow's share of the vote in each ward compares to 2023. https://opendatacanada.ca/articles/toronto-mayor-election-2026-polls-map

This column from Matt Gurney describes well the feelings some of my Jewish friends have shared with me over the last few years. I disagree with his conclusion, but I do think *some* on the left need to understand the difference between Jewish Torontonian and Government of Israel more than they […]

I was not expecting so much positive news tonight. I’m not sure what to do with all my tension.

I am beyond proud of our school board trustee Anna-Karyna Ruszkowski on winning re-election with a crushing 2/3 of the vote. I always tell the story that in 2017, I was picking up my toddler from daycare, and a woman approached me with a clipboard and a smile. She was collecting names in […]

Spotted in Beaches East York today. #TOPoli

Far too much of this going on in the neighbourhood chats at election time

RIP Walter Koenig - George Takei just posted that he passed away this morning. #LLAP #NuclearWessels

Good morning Toronto! Two important things to do today: 🗳️ VOTE! Polls are open till 8 pm. Check @thelocal's Candidate Tracker for handcrafted fact-checked bios of every mayoral, council, and school board candidate. 💉 Get your flu and COVID shots! Remember, you may think it doesn't benefit or […]

This is fascinating. I suspect it will be blamed on water privatization messaging, and not other factors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Toronto_mayoral_election#Graphical_summary

Good news on the ‘beating authoritarians without violence’ file: The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his […]

“Bradford is scared of Toronto, and he thinks you should be too. During the three years of Ms. Chow’s mayoralty, the City of Toronto has become a significantly safer place, and is one Canada’s safest cities.” […]

Everyone that works for a Silicon Valley company should have to read Jessamyn’s field reports of people trying to use their devices, then think about their own product quality, then make appropriate changes.

Nick Kouvalis says Brad Bradford too unprincipled to trust. #TOPoli

Health #Canada has a great Citizen Scientist #epidemiology project running for several years now that I’ve been part of. Each Monday they send out a two-question survey: This past week, Did you develop a cough? Did you have a fever? You answer Y or N. That’s it! It’s anonymous but linked to […]

someone should invent a search engine where if you put in two keywords it finds pages that have both the keywords

Did you know Health Canada asks 10,000 Canadians weekly about cough & fever, and uses the data to help flu & COVID monitoring? Each Monday I click an emailed link, answer 2 yes/no questions, and click submit. That's it! And you can help! https://public.cnphi-rcrsp.ca/fluWatcher/register

Watchin’ me cousin’s show on the Netflix box. Scary but also a hoot.

New from https://www.thewatchdog.ca which sadly isn’t on Mastodon yet (but should be, @llebrun ): Alberta separatist leader calls the CFB Wainright fire a DEI coverup?! https://www.thewatchdog.ca/on-eve-of-alberta-referendum-vote-separatist-leader-alleges-cover-up-in-deadly-cfb-wainwright-tragedy/

As has been said many times before – it's frequencies that need fixing, not fares. But it's so much easier for politicians to announce a fare cut. #Melbourne #transport […]

This is really worth watching.

Real Brad. Brad Brad.

Wow. I was not aware of this history. Thread:

I love it when October jacket contains a March candy I forgot about.

This 2018 music video for "On the Nature of Daylight" featuring Elizabeth Moss is absolutely stunning. She goes from calm, to overwhelmed, to angry, to determination to keep moving forward. It makes me think about our choices. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InyT9Gyoz_o #TOPoli

New from @thelocal and @goldsbie: Chow’s history as an advocate, he writes, leaves her with a particular perspective on how best to navigate that reality. “It’s the kind of perspective you get from a life of organizing, from running campaigns not just for a […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

"Transit lanes are revolutionary, but not at all radical. Pretty boring actually. Cities around the world have bus priority lanes. Big ones like New York, London or Tokyo and smaller ones like London, Ont. or Vancouver. Tried, tested and sound planning, yet “controversial” here — as if Toronto […]

Anti-bike asshole throws nails and tacks into bike lane, today in Toronto; drivers say "not all drivers". Driver runs a red light; drivers say "not all drivers". Cyclist runs a red light; drivers say "all cyclists." #BikeTO
