The rule that the "left" learned too late in Canada is your first and only ask to maintain a minority govt is election reform to obliterate first past the post and introduce proportional representation. #CanadaVotes

Now we know why this government fought the release of the Science Centre business case for eight long months...
The Conservatives are playing a sneaky shell game here.

Trevor May, 9 year big leaguer who throws both pitches - “They’re different pitches, guys. Lemme explain how”
Adam Wainwright, 17 year big leaguer w/ 2600 innings and 200 wins - “They’re different pitches, guys. Lemme explain how”
Me, coming off 140 games in which both pitches were thrown to me over and over again - “They’re different pitches, guys. Lemme explain how”
People on Twitter/X - “nah man we don’t believe you. It’s just a new name for slider that the nerds invented”

At our open house, I overheard a woman say to her partner “This will be a great place for the kids to ride their bikes to!”
My heart almost burst. Truly what could be better than having made a spot that was a great place for kids to ride their bikes to?

And here’s @ONPlace4All’s rebuttal to Minister Surma’s disastrous Ontario Place interview yesterday on @CityNewsTO! With unfortunate cameos by Surma and Ford. BTW, work hasn’t “substantially begun” on anything yet. #topoli #onpoli

(🧵) This is the story of how far-right snowflakes afraid of free speech and facts—obsessed, instead, with their Big Important Feelings and using speech to brutalize others—destroyed Twitter.
I hope you’ll follow along and share this to the extent the Musk Algorithm allows it.

We were at City Hall today advocating for Parkside Drive to be reconfigured into a Complete Street.
Accidents and fatalities are tragically quite common on Parkside Drive, which runs from Bloor to Lakeshore / Sunnyside Beach along the east side of High Park.

Most Torontonians don’t have backyards. Responsible adults should able to enjoy a drink together in a park. The pilot project is bad policy. I’ve now had a chance to review the list & I’ve requested ALL Ward 12 parks with bathrooms and with distance from playgrounds be included.
