Making water into a Toronto Hydro equivalent with 100% city ownership isn't privatization. #fakenews #topoli

@shawnmicallef.bsky.social why would you remove your own post. I assume you're able to contend with the argument, no? Or will you now block me, proving that you have no real argument? #topoli #biketo
For years Regressive Leftists argued that we must change the car-dominant society here in North America, whether most people want it or not, and pushed for items like bike lanes. But, if anyone opposes this imposition, then they are right-wingers trying to start a culture war?!?!?! ๐คฆ

Hi @royalconservatory.bsky.social. Why is your employee, Naomi Perley @cutelittlebyrdy.bsky.social posting that getting intoxicated and then cycling is an acceptable behaviour? Why would anyone want to normalize such behaviour? #biketo #topoli

#topoli #onpoli #biketo Watched tonight's direct action on Bloor West. Two observations: - Activists came from points east of the 'hood, reinforcing the fact that these lanes aren't used locally - Clogging the EB lane by slow-rolling in the middle will not "make friends and influence people" ๐คฃ๐คฆ

@archhistory.bsky.social , what exactly made you "Like" this ad hominem post ๐? Does it advance the public discourse, or simply encourage tribal behaviour?

He blocked me too for having a different opinion. @alexbozikovic.bsky.social is too obtuse to realize that blocking followers simply reduces the amplification of your own posts. Kind of a stupid thing to do when your livelihood depends on having readers! Here ๐ he is reacting to another POV...
@alexbozikovic.bsky.social blocked me for this. What is controversial about stating facts, Alex? You are a journalist -- do you not believe in free speech? I feel sorry for his @theglobeandmail.com readers and his @utoronto.ca Daniels students. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/03/21/t...
Filling up the schools again is a romantic notion that won't happen without a massive societal shift in family formation. Canada's population is dropping, Ontario's bleeding young families to more affordable jurisdictions like Alberta, & few families want to raise kids in a needle-infested DT core.

#urbanism #upzoning The top 3 sources of microplastics are synthetic textiles, all-vehicle tires, & city dust. All are consequences of our modern, urban lives that concentrate creation of the particles into our environments. Promoting higher-density cities risks increasing exposure for humans.

#canpoli #cdnpoli #epicfury #freeiran BlueSky is really quiet today as Canadian Regressives - Leftists & Carney Liberals - struggle to invent an anti-Trump narrative that doesn't put them on the side of the Mullahs. Bringing up Epstein and old anti-war quotes is such a lame, desperation move! ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐๐๐

Greens were expected to win on rising polarization at Labour's expense in Gorton and Denton. Yet ReformUK's share of the vote โฌ๏ธ by ~15pts. With Conservatives โฌ๏ธ ~6pts, the popular vote shifted right by 9pts (!) in what is traditionally one of the most Left-leaning seats in the country. #UKisReforming
#cdnpoli #leafs Will Canadian hockey fans throw Matthews under the bus -- like some have done did with Gretzky -- once he's accepted Trump's invitation? Can't wait to see how the cognitive dissonance will be reconciled, if not.

#topoli #tobike Robert Zaichkowski @robzaichkowski.bsky.social doesn't handle the truth well. And, as an NDP supporter, you would think he's got organized labour's back. But, clean bike lanes are more important to him than his principles. Hypocrite. www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/01/why-...

#topoli #urbanism Bigger isn't always better. Optimization requires finding the Golden Mean. Those who espouse urban intensification focus on the perceived scale benefits, but often suffer a blindspot wrt the diseconomies of scale. ๐
#topoli #urbanism Aristotle knew the Golden Mean was virtuous 2400 yrs ago, so why assume density is best? With 2/3 of 2026 pop'n, 1986 Toronto had: -96% of the library branches -80% of the subway stops -avg home price-to-income of 4x vs 11x -an inflation-adjusted Metropass that cost 2/3 of today's
#urbanism Interesting that a book celebrating the impromptu aspects of a city isn't titled "Spontaneous City" or "Serendipitous City" but, rather, "Messy City", as if it is likewise meant to normalize and celebrate urban decline.

#usa #europe Rather than admitting what's wrong in BOTH societies -- the prerequisite to making both better -- we're tribal, picking sides & pretending that only the other has problems, all the while ignoring our own decline, corrosion & rot. Without change, this will not end well for either one.
