Check your inbox: it’s City Hall Watcher #402!

A very nerdy edition, as I analyze councillor speaking time. Who speaks the most? Who speaks the least? All is revealed!

Also: taking Bradford’s scavenger hunt challenge, candidate chaos, and more! toronto.cityhallwatcher.com/p/quantifyin...
Quantifying Council’s chatterboxes — and quietest members
City Hall Watcher #402: On a lark, I analyzed 392 hours of Council speech and can now tell you definitively which councillors like to talk. Also: Candidate Chaos, a campaign fact check, and more!

Good morning, my dear servants 😘.

I'm enjoying my day off today.
But I'm not really sure what to do today 🫣😅.

Any ideas?

Anyway, that's all the wards that I think we could see anything interesting happen in. While I'd love some upset results (*cough* Holyday losing *cough*), I view them as being far less likely.

I'm not a very festive person, and I don't celebrate Halloween in YEARS, but holy fuck man, am I not feeling festive as fuck right now. Also, Halloween is like the only holyday I don't really despise at any level. Just a silly day for kids to dress up and eat candy, literally the most wholesome shit

anyway aside from showing what an outlier holyday is, it also shows what an outlier _Bradford_ is; he has basically spent the past 3 years trying to distinguish himself as Not Like Olivia Chow rather than cultivating allies.

i don't think anyone cares (hence the .png instead of actual data) but i've been noodling around with the #tocouncil voting record. this is for Chow's tenure, each column showing identical votes as a percentage of the councillor's max votes.

i agree that for ex by not forcing staff to reckon w/parkside perks has been guilty of letting ideals stop material gains but

next to stephen “the poor receive just desserts” holyday,

whatever faction of the left you dislike is not holding the balance of power on preserving neighbourhood character

(over the past two years i’ve witnessed a lot of people who “value balancing competing objectives” abdicate an astonishing amount of ground to fascists and corporate interests both abroad and here in canada so the idea that “ndp nimbys” are worse than holyday or dmw makes my blood boil)

Going out partying? No, thanks. I’d rather spend my Friday at an autumn picnic in the park 🍂🧺⁠

“lefties like perks are to blame because during the peak microcondo era they did not allow their wards to bear all of the intensification toronto needs”

which i think lets off the hook the cast of shrieking villains on council like holyday or dmw

our housing crisis is overdetermined

Daily Bible Verse: Colossians 2:16-17 KJV

"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ."

Nunziata’s voting record is actually more progressive than a lot of people think. At least you’re not in the Holyday Heap, the Bradford Band, or the Pasternak Posse.

For the believer today, under grace, the principle remains:
Paul says in Colossians 2:16-17 - "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ."

Holyday “no”

Why do the people of Etobicoke elect such poor representatives? The Fords, Stephen Holyday, Vince Crisanti, & Baker.
