“Toronto voters turned out in significantly higher numbers for the 2026 municipal election, delivering the city’s strongest voter participation rate since 2014 and reversing a decline that peaked with a historic low just four years ago.” toronto.citynews.ca/2026/10/27/t...
My all-time favourite Jay! A great player and very fine person.
33 years ago today, Joe Carter belted a walk-off, three-run home run off Philadelphia Phillies closer Mitch Williams in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 6 of the World Series at SkyDome to give the Toronto Blue Jays their second consecutive championship.
Toronto, we can't elect this idiotic flip-flopping Lex Luthor. Do I love everything Chow has done? No. Do I believe she knows to do the job? YES. I voted for her the last time and will again. Candidates don't have to be perfect but they have to be better than this guy. It's a low bar.
NEW: Bradford Doesn’t Respond to Surveys from Renters, Cyclists and Environmentalists Olivia Chow committed to nearly everything in surveys from the Toronto Environmental Alliance, tenants group ACORN and from Cycle Toronto. Bradford didn't respond to any of them.

So California Democrat @adamschiff.com came to Canada to repair the hurt, build relations and talk us into buying California wines. His first stop? Flipping pancakes with Danielle Smith in her MAGA-powered campaign to break up our country. Go back to California Adam and keep your wines.

No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.
⚡️ "Give us Starlink, open it for us on Russian territory, and we will destroy his ballistic missile launchers," Zelenskyy stressed that stopping Russian ballistic launches would force Vladimir Putin to negotiate, rendering further energy strikes unnecessary.

Donald Trump has just stated that Canada is "one of the worst countries in the world." He continues to threaten to destroy our economy. Meanwhile the Canadian boycott is crushing key industries. The latest losses in the California wine industry are staggering. youtu.be/8Jm5ExLdDTI?...

As George Carlin said, "It's a big club, and you ain't in it."
#FreeSpeech News Hollywood Reporter reporting that YouTube, TikTok and Meta platforms are refusing to take even paid ads for Alex Gibney's documentary which takes a, let's say, sceptical and questioning view of Elon Musk's career, personality and alleged achievements. "Musk" opens on 9 October.
I've never worked for 'corporate' employers and have been on many panels. In public healthcare in Toronto, we understand the need for hydration. If you have a chance to sit down, you're gonna have a drink with you, even in interviews. If you didn't bring one, you'll definitely be offered one.
I’ve served on and led several search committees at my university over the past several years. The topic of candidates bringing drinks into their job interviews has literally never come up. If a colleague ever tried to enforce Kai’s rule here, they would probably be removed from the committee.
Love that Charlie Angus is name checked!
I've officially made it - getting a shout out in the latest Iran Lego video trolling of Trump. That's almost up there with being officially banned by Vladimir Putin or having Patti Smith let me use People Have the Power for my 2017 leadership campaign. What a strange world. youtu.be/HmI2VE-IoV8?...
Colour me a GenX stereotype, my arms shoot up over my head when I hear this. Then at every "YEAH" you punch your arms straight up. That's how we did in the late 1900s. In the 2000s, I learned it was a perfect running on the treadmill song.
35 years ago today - September 23, 1991 - release of the vocal/rap version of "Get Ready For This" from 2 Unlimited. Original instrumental version out earlier in May. Started as an underground club & rave track before becoming widely popular.
