You know who actually did show up at Ground Zero? Canadian emergency rescue crews.

Many things have infuriated me about the Ford Government. But this is one of the most infuriating. He is a total disgrace.
"these lanes offer crucial cushion — space in which to traverse my city in somewhat-safety. They say: I belong here and it’s OK to take up space"

A tactic in Ford's 🚴‍♂️ lane media strategy is erasing cyclists from the story. This is the antidote.

I talked to CityNews about how well received the Church St pedestrianization pilot was!

Spoke about:
- (queer) third spaces
- pedestrianizing other streets,
- bringing back the pilot next year (hopefully longer in length and time)
- need for more flexibility + support from the city

(Part 1/2)

777 Crawford at Christie Pits needs bollards. This has become a regular occurrence.

I'm so tired of this being normalized.

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc…Via @theconversation.bsky.social
Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities
Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

BREAKING: In my lawsuit against Todd Blanche for the Epstein Files, Judge Sullivan has just ordered Blanche to produce, in camera (in chambers), the UNREDACTED emails & documents, and Blanche must bring documentation supporting his representations the DOJ’s redactions are what he claims they are.

Visiting Biidaasige Park today (first day of the expansion) was extra sweet knowing the Island Airport expansion is off, at least for now.

This is great, and something I have been hoping would happen for a long time: an independent review, by a judge, of the Epstein files, to determine the propriety of redactions and withholding.
HUGE WIN IN KATIE PHANG’S EPSTEIN FILES LAWSUIT: Judge Emmet Sullivan is making the DOJ prove its case. Todd Blanche must now submit the unredacted Epstein Files documents for in-camera review along with evidence supporting the government’s redactions.

I was born and raised in Northern Ontario and I am absolutely boiling with rage at the ways in which people elsewhere are talking about the forest fires there as though this is a common occurrence.

The air thick with smoke for kilometers, entire communities wiped out - this shit is not normal.

Orange apocalyptic skies, the worst air quality in the world, people being burnt out of their homes.
And taxpayers to spend $100 billion on new pipelines when industry won't.

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved public transit, not only did it TRANSFORM the city’s public life and economic success, but the car traffic got better.

The car traffic got BETTER.

STREET PROTEST- BANISH ICE
As long as Trump's Private Army keeps murdering people on our streets, my wife and I are going to be protesting on the street.

If any of you think this is going to stop without 30+ million getting on the street, you're fooling yourself. People are dying. Dying.
