“The cost to the taxpayer here is huge,” cycling lawyer Dave Shellnutt said in a statement released ahead of Tuesday’s demonstration. “We are ripping out safe infrastructure that the premier’s own internal reporting shows won’t help congestion.”
Advocacy for Respect for Cyclists says an all-out two-wheeled protest is planned on a stretch of Bloor Street West between Islington and Royal York to “disrupt, or try to make it difficult” for the bike lanes to be removed. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/10/…

Time for some election fact checking on Toronto's water budget. We heard a claim from candidate Brad Bradford today that implied that the City's capital reserve fund for water infrastructure (sewers, pipes, & water treatment) is unnecessary. This is dangerous & short-sighted. 1/4

✈️ Think Premier Ford controls whether jets come to the Island Airport? Think again.
As @canadagray points out, that decision belongs to the federal government — and its Toronto MPs.

The climate is getting hotter. After years of work by TEA and our allies, we are relieved to see a faster timeline.

Our urban forests are irreplaceable! Trees bring shade, clean air, flood protection, climate & health benefits. City Council will be voting in March on a plan for stronger private trees protection.
🌳 Speak up to help make sure this plan gets approved: loom.ly/sWXPztc 🌲

🚍‼️The new TTC RapidTO bus lanes on Dufferin are great! Next they should be:
⬆️ extended north from Bloor to Eglinton
🚌 paired w/ frequent & reliable service
↔️ added to Finch, Lawrence, Jane & Steeles
✍🏾Sign @ttcriders petition to expand & improve them TTCriders.ca/Lanes
Sarah Buchanan retweeted
while a bus lane may appear empty to a driver stuck in traffic, in reality, it moves passengers far more efficiently
and getting rid of bus lanes can actually worsen traffic by making buses less reliable and forcing more people to drive
RapidTO is already causing havoc on Dufferin as cars remain backed up while the red bus-only lane remains barren. With so many cars sitting idle, carbon emissions will surely increase to the horror of environmentalist councillor @DianneSaxe who championed the RapidTO plan. A truly ironic twist of fate for Toronto’s resident climate activist.
What do you think?
