Seniors watching their every $? Did you tell them about your proposal at City budget to hike seniors bus passes by 18%?

I just wrapped up my latest stop on the #24in48 tour, in College ward, with a visit to the Algonquin College LRT Station. I’ve heard from families, students and seniors who are watching every dollar.

Save the CBC 🇨🇦✌️
@savethecbc.bsky.social

🇨🇦📊 Conservatives accuse IRCC of “cooking the books,” but CBC reports permanent residency is down 14,155 year-over-year. The disputed graph separates programs for people already in Canada. Is this legitimate criticism or more Conservative grievance politics?

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

He got it not long after his daughter gave Ms. Habba, a lawyer close to President Trump, an extraordinarily lucrative job.

Anyone asking this question doesn’t understand, or doesn’t want the rest of us to understand, what property taxes are for. Obviously, your share of municipal infrastructure costs and services etc don’t end when you pay off your home. They’re as likely to rise as they are to drop. Obviously.

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

politico.comDo You Really Own Your Home? A Tax Revolt Says No.The argument that property taxes make Americans renters in their own houses has fueled the biggest anti-tax uprising in half a century, and local governments are scrambling.

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you really should watch and share this excellent news story. Ford LIES that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. Remember and share this as Ford tears out Toronto bike-lanes.

toronto.citynews.caAnnex businesses tell Ford to back off Bloor bike lanesStores in the Annex say the Bloor bike lanes have been a big boost to business. As Michelle Mackey reports, the neighborhood's BIA wants the province to back off its new bill that could see the lanes removed.

This is exactly what ICE said: "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." Now watch the video. They're no other word for it: They're lying.

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.
