I do not support limiting city powers. It’s always better when we work together to get things right. To tackle congestion and keep people safe on city roads we need all types of transportation. The Province should focus on their job of finally getting the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRTs open, which will have a huge impact on congestion in our city.

She wants us to depoliticize this, so I will try: To all kids in Alberta, I know this is scary. Please know that there are people in your lives who love and respect you, who want the best for you. We will never ever stop fighting for you and for your dignity. And we will win. – at Calgary, Alberta

$2 billion to keep the Bloor line running (500,000 riders per day) or $2 billion to rebuild the Gardiner East of Jarvis (5,000 drivers will save a few minutes during rush hour). Tough call. thestar.com/news/gta/alarms-…

Like most people, I suffer from everyday anxiety. But this past summer was worse. Wildfires, the hottest July on record, terrible air quality, and bloody hot weather made my anxiety worse. Are you eco-anxious like me? I’m looking to interview someone for a story about eco-anxiety

My @TorontoStar column: the number of parking tickets handed out in Toronto has plunged over the last decade, and fine amounts have barely budged. In a city dealing with a major budget crisis, why is city hall still giving drivers such cushy treatment? thestar.com/opinion/contribu…

If Toronto used ranked ballots there would be a very interesting and dynamic mayoral race this year. Instead, many qualified and willing candidates will get pushed out, to prevent "vote-splitting". It's happening right now in backrooms: an invisible, elite-driven "primary". 😭🗳️

Finally had time to look at @choiceprop Gerrard Carlaw proposal. Wonder why they say they're installing cycling infrastructure which is really just biking parking spaces. Seems deliberately misleading. Surely you can do better than 22 spaces @InfraOntario #Toronto #Ontario

ICYMI, there's a new free alt magazine in Toronto and I'm helping them build an arts section. What do you want to see in it? My DMs are open.
What would you want to see in your ideal Toronto arts section? What's missing from the city right now in coverage of music, theatre, film, visual art, comedy, etc etc?
