Listen, I work in one of the wealthiest neighbourhoods in this city. And Bradford signs are on almost every carefully manicured lawn. THAT should tell you something. And where to vote. #Toronto #TOpoli

Thank you for your service, young man. Olivia needs more than Sarah Polley. Just saying. #Toronto #TOpoli

Bradford won that debate. And people, no one hates Toronto more than its own citizens. So make a plan, because I fear we are going to lose our TTC perks. People will vote for the guy Tory didn’t even endorse. And he worked CLOSELY with him. Smdh. #Toronto #TOpoli

Oh, Chow got him with that!!! How are you going to hire thousands of PO’s when there’s only 360 graduating!!! 🤣 #Toronto #TOpoli

Well, Bradford won this first round. It pains me to say this: Chow might lose this election. Olivia has Sarah Polley. Bradford has CTV-Bell, in case you picked up on the moderators tones of voice. She can barely hide it. Smdh. #Toronto #TOpoli

The new LRT is starting to sound like the old LRT. Squeaky wheels and all! Always late, And there’s always a delay. Smdh.

One of these days people are going to realize that Nightmare on Elm Street 2 is actually a good sequel. I said what I said.

The LRT just went into a sudden stop and baby, we flew. My coffee flew, people flew, my neck is killing me. JFC. Mechanical issues. Billions of dollars and the Eglinton LRT is a piece of junk. From the 1970’s seats, to the track system, to the size of these tiny trains. Smdh.

Avi Lewis on nationalizing Stelco: "This is a bad faith employer. We are in an emergency situation to save Canada's steel industry. The tool of public ownership is available to the government, and this is the time to use it."

I’m watching the original Nightmare on Elm Street, and damn! I forgot how good this one was from Wes Craven. The entire cast, the script, Freddy…perfect 80’s horror.

EVERYBODY ON THE TTC IS COUGHING!!! Holy shit! And it’s that kind of deep-in-your-soul death rattle cough coming out. People doubling over. Lordt. #Toronto

There are no words for this except this is horrific. Under the jail. Smdh.

Embarrassed, she initially didn’t want to report attack. Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office's investigation is ongoing. https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/congressional-candidate-is-raped-while-repairing-her-campaign-signs-40705248/

Nobody stays good. People really criticized Snyder’s version of Superman when they should have been paying attention. Eventually, even the good guy will be turned into a villain. Smdh.

Pro-Palestinian protesters gather outside City Hall to call out Mayor Zohran Mamdani for what they see as his betrayal of the movement. "Mayor Mamdani, you can't hide we charge you with genocide" was a chant that just rang out.

Well, the news is terrible. And certainly in par with Toronto traffic. I am amazed I made it home in under 2 hours and without getting hit by a car turning on MY SIGNAL, while being directed by TPS. Why? Because there’s construction. JFC. #Toronto

Marlon James’ new novel “The Disappearers” follows a group of gay men trying to build lives and survive amid the deep homophobia of Jamaica in the 1980s and 1990s. The New York Times called it “the novel of the decade and possibly of the century thus far.” https://to.pbs.org/3Tjok4K

And you just endorsed Brad Bradford for Mayor of Toronto in 2026??? Smdh.

Thank you, Josh, for your endorsement and for everything you do for our community. Together, we can make housing more affordable in Toronto–St. Paul’s and keep building a community where everyone has a place to call home.

Uh-oh! His handlers aren’t going to like this.

Trump: "These Rallies are the hottest things out there, tremendous love in those sold out arenas, and nothing shows up on Fox! Also, phenomenal ratings for those that properly report. Who makes these decisions at FoxNews? Probably the same loser that fired the great Maria Bartiromo"

JFC.

New: Chris Rufo & his co-host devoted a podcast to "The Indian Question," framing Desi people as a problem to be solved. Their "solution?" Mass expulsion. For those allowed to remain: an “assimilation hazing process” w/ instances of “vulgar, defamatory racism" talkingpointsmemo.com/news/chris-r...

I loved this season. Sorry, but I did. Didn’t necessarily like the outcome, and it was MESSY. But I watched every episode. Thanks BB fans #BB28

The icons were exactly what Mallory said; the worst ally’s ever. My God. Good. The jury needs to reward Taylor with that move. No way Yash, Lala, Barrett and Melody vote for Devens. NO WAY! 🤣 #BB28

Taylor deserves the win after that move. She got Devens to vote out Drew. F**k JuJu and Becca and whatever their names are. Give Taylor the MONEY!!!! #BB28

And he was endorsed by Geddy Lee. That should be enough to warn people. I said what I said.

Canada's National Observer@nationalobserver.com

This morning — following two investigations into Toronto mayoral candidate Brad Bradford's use of an app that rewards supporters for posting AI-generated comments and sharing contacts — Bradford called our reporting "inaccurate." We're now releasing the recording that proves our reporting.

This. What are they so afraid of? Hmmm…what could it be. FAFO will be the end result. Someone knows who these clowns are.

The Bog Witch 🇨🇦@wickedwitchofpnw.bsky.social

Today in #Kamloops: masked white supremacists out and about in public. I guess they lack the skills to tailor white hooded robes prior to gathering? Take your masks off, chickenshits. (Funny, these are the same strain of pest that refused to mask for public safety during Covid.) #bcpoli #kkk

This last Jays game for the season has me in tears. Just absolutely bawling. I hope we see George and Mad Max again in some capacity with the Blue Jays organization. Or as broadcasters. This is not the end. #BlueJays
