I'll be speaking with @graphicmatt.com and @neeeda.bsky.social about the election that was via the fine folks at @civictechto.bsky.social #TOpoli, come chat with us at City Hall tonight, or follow along online. Cc: @uoftcities.bsky.social @planningtoronto.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/civi...

Chow is mayor, kids are in bed, tea is on and now it is time to shift gears head into the studio and finish off some guillotine pins.

The collective sigh of relief in Toronto is something else.

This speech is classic Bradford. It is not a concession speech it is a pitch for his next job. My crystal ball says he runs for Ontario PC party leader once Ford runs for Federal Conservative Party leader. Until then he will be collecting a developer companies paycheque.

Diana Chan McNally went to Town of Hardcore on Friday and then won a council seat today. Makes you think.

Great to see @dianachanmcnally.bsky.social comfortably ahead in Ward 4

Wow the CBC Toronto coverage on the Mayoral campaign is horrible. The Bradford reporter names all of his campaign promises in a positive light, meanwhile the Chow reporter talks about how the campaign room is decorated...

The Roads Have Eyes! 👁️ Turn on the Surveillance Layer in Map Options to see known license plate readers from Flock Safety, Motorola Solutions (Vigilant), Genetec, Axis Communications, Axon, Leonardo (ELSAG), Neology, Rekor, PlateSmart, Ubicquia, Verkada, and other outdoor surveillance cameras.

It doesn't cost anything to smile at a stranger.

Didn't check the kiln to see what burnout schedule it was on because I barely ever change it... of course I was messing with it last time it was on so I just ruined a tree entirely. Gotta reprint all 5 pieces and re-invest etc. Booourrns

I really hope that the next government that comes in after Doug Ford does a full investigation into every deal he ever made as Premiere. There needs to be a jail cell waiting for him and every one if his cabinet members when he loses the election

One thing about people citing slower car travel times on Bloor West following the bike lane install is, well, that was kind of the point. Drivers were **averaging** nearly 20 km/h over the current speed limit at spots. Road revamp has brought speeds closer to limit. www.toronto.ca/wp-content/u...

In Toronto we've watched police ignore traffic violations for many years (they even lied about enforcing traffic laws - with no consequences) so this is basically the renaissance painting of the Toronto condition.

Every pedestrian, cyclist, and driver death along here belongs to Doug Ford, Prabmeet Sarkaria, and their government. Even though they legislated away the right to sue in advance. #Bikesky #BikeTO #Toronto

Lembram da Sônia Bridi carregando um bebê Yanomami pele e osso, doente?

NEW: Maybe it's time to take a good look at all these deaths in the Epstein-Trump orbit. jkbjournalist.substack.com/p/dead-men-t...

Indigenous leaders from the Amazon and Canada joined Manitoba NDP Leah Gazan in Ottawa to call for urgent action to address climate emergencies and Canada’s violation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

To commemorate my feelings about unfettered capitalism & the increasing greed among our newest ruling class that keeps pushing us perilously toward fascism I decided to make a pin with an age-old symbol of resistance.

Privatization is just a license to steal from the public.

The woman beside him is the leader of the anti-LGBTQ+ and separatist movement in Canada. Everything from Indigenous rights to protecting minorities goes out the window for the oil and gas lobby

I spent the summer trying to understand what makes Mark Carney's government tick. What I found is a C-Suite obsessed with efficiency — which is trying to ignore what's deeply broken. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

i am 100% serious, i think cities should start building infrastructure to accommodate year-round use of e-scooters and bikes

This is foul. A reader reached out and told me the first google result when you search "kamloops unmarked graves discovery" is residential school denial. I did the search myself, and I found the same thing. The first non-sponsored result is the Fraser Institute's residential school denial.

Some people really are just stupid.

Bradford is a special kind of useless. He can't even keep the voter list safe from his incompetence. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/28/i...

Thanks to Andy Donato's cousin, I have Andy's final editorial cartoon that was rejected by The Toronto Sun, resulting in Andy resigning from the paper after 55 years. www.torontomike.com/2026/09/andy...

Also to blame the economic crash it's going to cause on anything else than this obscene circus

Companies have turned just about everything into subscription services that users have to pay for. “They get the subscription and our data,” EFF's @ktrendacosta.bsky.social said. “It's a win-win for them and a lose-lose for us.”

Thought you would be getting cheap efficient BYD's in North America? Well how about instead we get more Tesla's! www.electrive.com/2026/09/08/c...

When has privatizing something made it better? Private equity's goal is to extract as much wealth out of something as possible, not to make it better than it was when they bought it.

I'm all for going up against the Americans, but being more like the American Government is not how we do it. Giving tax breaks to foreign corporations while paying for it on the backs of the working class through cutting services is not the way. I'm disappointed in what Carney is presenting

Let me tell you a story about how top-end menswear retail transformed over the last hundred years. 🧵

The latest project in the workshop.

Now to rewrite the column on mobility in Toronto I was just finishing last night as word came that the decision would be released to day. I am not paid enough to live and work in Doug Ford's Ontario.

We may have lost the Appeal but the fight for bike lanes & road safety rages on. From demonstrations to Supreme Court challenges, all options are on the table.

this event Trump is about to do with RFK Jr surely be totally normal and sane

Bruh...

Brendan Simms argues in "The Return of the Great Powers" that geopolitical rivalry never actually ceased; dissatisfied imperial powers merely awaited opportunity to press for advantage. Who at this stage can doubt the accuracy of that argument?

Literally bragging about unconstitutional reverse onus provisions on bail, all in the name of co-opting Conservative penal populism. As I've said, Canadian voters flocked to Carney to avoid Pierre Poilievre, and what they got was Stephen Harper.

Why are car-centric transport systems so difficult to undo? Because automobiles represent the dominance of private property over public space. In this @urbancyclinginstitute.org essay, I look to history to uncover how we got here. #StealingCars

NEW from me: I took a deep dive for @ricochetmedia.bsky.social into the American hedge fund-owned Canadian newspaper chain that’s pushing anti-trans, pro-genocide and climate science denial narratives down our throats. ricochet.media/media/dumpst...

NEW PROJECT ALERT: I built a free simple win projection model for NBA fans. Check it out to estimate how good your team will be next season. Link is in the thread below 👇

This is going to ignite a whole new generation of anti-oil pipeline activism. When will we learn that renewables are cheaper and faster to deploy and don't come with all the risks to the environment.

Keith Stewart, senior energy strategist for @greenpeaceca.bsky.social, said the plan makes no sense economically or environmentally. “Why don’t we cut out the middleman & just have Canadians send their tax dollars directly to ExxonMobil?... (1/2) www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

Damn, this game is intense.

Who would've thunk it...
