Councillors Hill & Tierney must be doing great in their wards, as they each seem so focused on mine. It's generous of their constituents to loan them out like this. SIDEBAR: If ever you're on a canoe ride with David or Tim, don't sit in the bow, otherwise something might get stuck in your back.

While I didn't expect the campaign to take this turn, I'll tell you something. If people like David Hill, David Brown, Tim Tierney, and Jan Harder are conspiring to unseat me, then I take that as confirmation that I'm acting in the City's best interests. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Interesting comparison made by @gregmaceachern.bsky.social on “PnP”talking about the election of Premier Designate Paul St. Pierre-Plamondon in Québec with a minority - to Keir Starmer in the UK. They wanted change in the UK but it was not ultimately what they wanted. #pnpcbc #cdnpoli

Anne McGrath on Pierre Poilievre crashing out over a question about his caucus: "What he did there was take something that he could have easily batted away. That actually gives us more of a display of who he is than what the issues are that he was trying to highlight."

Reminder: the Fair Deal Panel set up by Jason Kenney itself actually asked Albertans about separation. The questionnaire included “Alberta alone or with other Western Provinces separating from the rest of Canada”

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.
