Just sad. It's like they're not even trying anymore.

"... As with any Trump claim, take this all with a White House ballroom-sized grain of salt. If the Republicans pull off a few upsets in the midterms, it wouldn’t be shocking to see the White House renege on commitments made in any tentative trade deal with Ottawa." Thank you, LA of The Peak

In other news, please keep Doug Ford in your thoughts today as his 21-week summer break comes to a close. #OnPoli

So Mayor Chow has a mandate now, right?

fwiw, Chow earned a bigger vote share than Lula

Finally! Needed this win!

Ooof.

That was not really close in the end. Olivia Chow currently at 54.04%, Brad Bradford 41.21%. 1405 of 1431 polls reporting Chow won with 37% of the vote in the 2023 mayoral by-eelction and 269,372 raw votes. She's have doubled her vote count, currently 522,139.

OK old council heads will understand when I say: I don't even know what it's going to be like watching council livestreams and not hearing Nunziata's voice presiding.

Alright this is starting to look like

5 pedestrians will be sacrificed in his honour this week.

The only funnier thing than a Brewers-Rays series with low ratings because they are small market teams would be a a Brewers-Rays series with low ratings because they are small market teams that only goes four games.

Why is Toronto even having an election? It already has a mayor: Doug Ford.

Chandler Simpson needs one of those little parachutes that fast cars get to help them slow down

Looks like it’s time to keep refreshing a bunch of web pages that say “0 votes counted” over and over again.

whoa!

Now, otoh. Maybe the PM is taunting Trump with this, goading him into unloading some campaign rant that further undermines Republican candidates.

Which position? The terrible position that Carney was adopting until Trump torpedoed the deal by adding stuff even Carney at his most elbows down couldn't accept? Or a position that's actually good for Canada?

“This is comical. This is insulting. This is a preposterous mishandling of your product at the worst imaginable time … League owners might want to tear up Engelbert’s resignation letter, just so they can fire her instead.” (gift link)

Remember that time a week ago when the Bucks moved their home opener to accommodate the Brewers?

Toronto driver not sure where to park after city removes bike lanes

Why on earth would we be giving headlines to this nonsense?

There was, and still is, a massive under tapped market for corporate resistance to this regime. All these companies fawned over Trump not due to dollars and cents but because their leaders preferred authoritarianism.

Find someone who looks at you like Mike Rogers looks at Donald Trump.

If I can get 3.87 pounds of garbage off Spadina before the work day even starts, you can get your ass to the polls!!! Let’s go.

Lift Your Skinny Fists like Antennas to Heaven; it’s Election Day and we’re picking up trash on the walk to work Fuggin vote!!!

give her the chance to actually do her job, not just clean up the mess of the last career power guy who spent his days passive-aggressively letting it all fall apart.

good morning fellow Toronto's please don't let us be mayored by a guy named Brad Bradford. A dud with a dangerous desire for power who would destroy this city from within. Olivia Chow is not a perfect mayor, but she's a damn sight better than anyone else on the ballot, and we can't backslide now.
