CBC Metro Morning giving time to BadBradBadFORD he is so smarmy & seems like a master at gaslighting!

FOLD & GO 🚊 Destination: BRAMPTON

Listening to White Coat, Black Art & 💔 to listen to story of a son’s death. Drunk driver! Why hasn’t government created a policy to have AUTO INDUSTRY install Ignition Interlock in every vehicle?! Bigger screens rather than public health policy!

Canada’s Wonderland says 2 roller-coasters “will remain closed for the time being” were shut down due to deadly incident at a park in Atlanta. Huh. People die on our public streets all the time BUT after a short closure to “investigate” - the street is open again asap. No charge to the design.

High Park IS A PARK. Keep your car out of it. share.nwmd.social/s/tzSqWgRb

We recorded an episode today about the bike lane removals in Toronto and decided to text Ontario Premier Doug Ford to give him the opportunity to comment. (Yes, we have his real phone number.) He wrote back.

It has been brought to our attention that it is entirely possible Doug Ford does not understand that a podcast called "The War on Cars" might be in favor of things like protected bike lanes.

Night 3 - We Belong On Bloor @bikewaysto.bsky.social www.communitybikewaysto.ca/we-belong-on...

What makes cycling infrastructure so amazing is the fact that you don’t have to ride a bike to benefit from it. Getting into and off of buses become problematic for anyone with mobility issues. But the perceived convenience of drivers overrules everything. #BikeTO

Please remember these moments when we hear authorities preaching road safety to our kids or thoughts and prayers to those families who have lost someone to road violence.

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.

recent City of Toronto DATA shows there have been 0 pedestrian deaths/serious injuries from Runnymede to Resurrection (2023-24 Complete Street Ext), which is down from pre-installation; average motor speeds ⬇️; motor delays 25-60 seconds per km; cycling numbers ⬆️ www.toronto.ca/wp-content/u...

Ride the Link: close the gaps Today there were two bike rides with similar themes: drawing attention to loops in the city that take advantage of the many off street bike and pedestrian paths that thread through the city, while at the same time are held back by significant gaps where there are no…

BrompTOberFest 4 Today was the 4th Brompton ride held around the time of Oktoberfest. We have gathered at Pedaal, and as per usual there were a lot of shiny Bromptons in evidence. Laurence's purple electric T series was best of show. There was another build inside the shop that also had the…

BrompTOberFest took a group on a TOur of TOp Tier new parks! TOronto 💕

Excited for my 4th annual BrompTOberFest touring & celebrating TO with Brompton lovers! 💕 meetu.ps/e/Q3qMg/R1gz...

Data Counts - more people walking & cycling than one person per car - yet majority of public street space given to private vehicles 🚗 @bikewaysto.bsky.social @cycletoronto.bsky.social

ER doctors are on side: some 650 of them signed a petition to stop Ford from removing bike lanes, saying - as we do in every protest - "bike lanes save lives." You'd think this would be a simple thing. What a ridiculous culture war our premier has created. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Doug Ford & his buddy Brad BradFORD think we should ride on the trails instead of direct to work, shops, friends. Do they know there is no street lighting on our trails?!

People of all ages and abilities ride bicycles for transportation in Toronto on our public streets.

AVAILABLE NOW! 📚 The African Prince, the Translator, and the Nazi by Didier Leclair is out now! Set in Nazi-occupied Paris, this gripping historical novel follows an African prince, his translator, and those caught in a dangerous web of diamonds, resistance, deception, and survival. #MawenziHouse

Enjoyed reading this collection of poetry in, well, various cafés. It was good for a quick dip and will stand up to multiple re-readings. Café as place, as a verb, as a state of mind, as a dreamscape. Interesting section inspired by Brief Encounter. Another quirky @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

#BikeToWork route is Jane & Bloor to Danforth & Broadview on protected bike lanes ~ comfortable & direct - 15km one way is reliable 1 hr ride. When I use TTC icy days - I use a bus, train, & streetcar = 1 1/2hr if all on time with waits outdoors in cold without shelter 🎥 from yesterday Sept17

If we want to adapt to a changing climate, it is time to start throwing parties, write Natalie Brown and Kate Mulligan, because communities that are more connected are more resilient. spacing.ca/toronto/2026...

Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social, we want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible. I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to being the first associate member of the EU. And create a common prosperity and economic security space.

"Councillor Bradford wants you to be scared," says Chow. "Police is not the only answer," she adds, citing her work to hire more crisis outreach workers. "It's the combination of police and all the outreach workers coming together to keep us safe."

"Councillor Bradford, even though he said he supports it, opposed every single one of my budgets that funded the school food program," notes Chow.

"Councillor Bradford, I don't understand, because I saw you voting against shelters. You cannot say that you support shelters and then vote against it! That is not fair," says Chow. (Bradford does have a bunch of anti-shelter votes on his record.)

Brad BradFORD MAKES ME 🤮 ALL his posts ARE LIMITED oh because we call him out in his bullshit & flipflops & lies! Divisive DiP!! #toronto

Per a series of bike counts done by @bikewaysto.bsky.social, removing bike lanes will adversely affect pedestrians. About 30% of cyclists rode on sidewalks at Royal York in August 2023 pre-installation compared to 4% in May 2024. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero drive.google.com/file/d/1LVJ5...

Hey #BikeTO! In response to today's announcement from the Ford government they started the process of removing bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University, @cycletoronto.bsky.social launched a new petition calling on Ford to fight Trump instead of Toronto. #TOpoli #ONpoli www.cycleto.ca/fight_trump

Do you #BikeTO in #ScarbTO? A group ride in support of the West Scarborough Rail Trail will be held on Sunday, September 27. Starts 9 AM at Warden Hilltop Community Centre. Details at the website linked here. #TOpoli www.scarborough-junction.ca/2026/08/clos...

The president made over 1,000 stock transactions, according to the most recent disclosure form released on Saturday.

I’m going to buy some 🇨🇦 @chapmans.ca which flavour should I get?? I love Wolf Pass but open to suggestions www.chapmans.ca

Hey #BikeTO! There will be a #CriticalMass ride on Friday, August 28. Details to follow, but there will be a need to ensure a huge turnout given Friday's disappointing Ontario Court of Appeal decision in favour of the Ford government regarding Bill 212. #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

Toronto Island August 15 10 am - 6 pm A brilliant day with friends!!! @nojets.bsky.social

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

No wonder some wards have the same councillors for 90 years! Councillor Ward 2 - Etobicoke Centre ONLY Alexander, Jennifer has stepped up to run against NAY VOTER Holyday, Stephen www.toronto.ca/city-governm...

Adam Pham is Back to Basics: vision includes “enhanced public safety” “enhanced police presence” “make it easier for cars to access High Park” “restoring lanes for cars along Bloor St W creating a better alternative bike lane” “It’s time for Toronto to blossom 🌸 “ by going back to basics … nope.
