Sections 228 & 229 have broken out in song over the past couple of innings. Alek Manoah, Vladdy and others in the dugout are enjoying it! #BlueJays #TOTHECORE
Flipping between @CBCToronto & @CP24 Toronto election coverage. Hope CP24 isn’t paying Nick Nannos a lot. He hasn’t added a word of meaningful insight or analysis about the races or results. Surely you can do better next time. #TOpoli #TorontoVotes2026

I am not a huge Chow fan either. I genuinely like her as a person, I think she’s a work in progress as a mayor, and I’ve been disappointed.
But! I live in Bradford’s ward, and I have seen enough to know he’s solely about himself and I don’t trust him. Can’t vote for him.
Good take from @adwbto about why he’s supporting Olivia Chow…. Couldn’t agree more. #Toronto has improved under her leadership. Let’s vote to have her continue the progress. nationalnewswatch.com/2026/1… #nationlnewswatch via @natnewswatch #TOpoli #TorontoVotes

Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! *laughs* It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."

Dying because it reminding me of the article that said- not a single person can be found who actually likes and respects this guy. He is almost universally disliked. 😂💀😬

My take: Putin gave up nothing by releasing a 74-year-old American held as a pawn for this type of moment. Putin is not a humanitarian, despite how Mr Witkoff addressed him. And whereas President Trump says he gave up nothing for Stephen Hubbard's release, you will hear all the experts correctly say that he did: busting his own sanctions for a diesel deal with Putin that could put $4 billion into his war chest; inviting Putin to the G20; and dumping Putin's victim, Ukraine, face down in the mud, as it tries to defend its sovereignty and its freedom. You’ve heard the historians call all this appeasement, going against America's own democratic values.

Curious what #BlueJays 2026 Flex Pack holders learned about their price ⬆️ for 2027. Our season tickets went up by 9+% for next season. Pre-purchase of promotional/giveaway packages has gone from $360. to $500 for 2027. You’d never know the team finished in last place this year

WSJ tweeted this to its 20 million followers and it has under 400 retweets - presumably suppressed due to the link out. “Elon Musk has secretly been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since late 2022”

Two ways to genuinely keep kids safe on their way to school:
Speed cameras, which this government outlawed.
Bike lanes, which this government is ripping out.
Every parent wants to know their child is safe on their way to and from school. It's a peace of mind we want for every student, in every community.
From kindergarten to high school, student safety is everyone's responsibility.
This School Bus Safety Week, I remind all drivers to slow down, stay alert and take extra care around school buses and school zones throughout the school year.

To understand the current posture and contradictions of the ownership side, you have to understand that literally no “small market” owner opposes Dodgers spending. The more the Dodgers spend + make, the more money that gets stuffed in Mark Attanasio’s pocket
Major League Baseball wants a salary cap and says it's to ensure smaller-market, lower-payroll teams can win in the postseason.
Milwaukee, Cleveland and Tampa Bay are winning without one.

Forever grateful to have been there for this #SpringerDinger one year ago. George Springer made us all believe a #WorldSeries was possible. What a ride it was! #BlueJays

If this isn't AI, it worked hard to look like AI. Also, using AI in a campaign ad feels oddly perfect for Brad Bradford
If we want to change the city, we have to change the mayor.
Vote on October 26 to get Toronto unstuck.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video ad is not AI-generated. It was professionally filmed and produced by humans using real crew and equipment, per BTS photos and statements from the production team.

Ten years ago today.
In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine, hampering the country's defenses during a devastating Russian attack; and Trump waived sanctions on Russia that Congress, led by his late friend Lindsey Graham, had pushed for.
Now, Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraine’s fate for them, bulldoze a century of international cooperation, and frame Russia as an equal to the U.S. and China.
We’ll see if Putin’s puppet continues to dance on his strings.

Pffttt… who cares if we’re importing electricity from the US … finally those bike lanes are being torn out.

No mincing words like we often hear from the media. @cafreeland calls it like it is when it comes to Donald Trump & his support for Putin. She calls it America’s “wake up moment.” But will Americans wake up? #Trump

The kompromat Russia has on trump must be insane.
Breaking News: President Trump signed an executive order to exempt Russia from new sanctions legislation that Congress passed last month. nyti.ms/4zDoByS
Prior to Donald Trump taking office it would be hard to imagine the USA actively assisting Russia in its campaign of aggression and violence against Ukraine. It’s sad how far America has fallen. I’m not sure it will ever regain the status it once held in the world.
Latest: Zelenskyy tells reporters over WhatsApp that restrictions on Ukraine's Starlink systems remain. Interceptor drones can't function, logistics and operations hobbled. The maximum speed is 161 kph; "exceeding this limit causes the Starlink connection to cut out completely, resulting in the loss of the drone."
He says Ukraine has done tests to determine whether SpaceX is truly facing technical issues, as has been told Kyiv by the US side, or if this is a "deliberate operation... to restrict us, cut us off, and prevent us from defending ourselves and protecting our people, both at the front and among the civilian population."
He says Ukraine "sent a couple of vehicles equipped with Starlink terminals into European Union territory."
"They moved at speeds exceeding 180kph, and the Starlink systems worked perfectly. We have the relevant logs and evidence to prove this."
He adds: "The conclusion is clear: the restrictions are in effect within Ukraine but do not apply within the European Union. In other words, this is a planned operation."
