It’s lovely! Although it could use a few more trails. And our site, while lovely, has more mosquitos than my poor ankles were prepared for.

I’m at Killbear. I have…seen things. But also, hammocks are the way to stay safe.

I can’t prove it but I am 100% convinced this trend was caused by Apple removing the headphone jack from iPhones and all other phones following.

Killbear is a pretty nice park.

I can flip you the factums if you want! I haven’t had a chance to read the decision yet but from the get go this has really been about the total lack of evidence to support the legislation’s policy goal. If they facts had been different, I think this would have been a much harder sell.

Fuck yes. @louiscentury.bsky.social congrats! (I haven’t read it yet but I’m told the Bedford argument carries the day!)

Oh hey, I recognize that sign!

So many comments at today's council meeting re: "We didn't do anything permanent things for the Pan Am Games, so why bother for FIFA?"

Meanwhile the UP Express is sitting there asking "what am I? Gefilte fish?"

Every time he speaks, I want to launch him into the sun.

"My faith is that public libraries, and all those who work in them, and all those who lead them, and all those who fund and support them, and all those who use them ... they will guide the way to a better future for us all, where residents are more engaged in civic life," says Bowles.

Why not both? Although spicy mayo is great.

What a headline. @clareblackwood.bsky.social you know what to do.

My residential street had a bigger sink hole than that and all they did was throw a large pylon in it for half a summer until they filled it with concrete. .

Ok, this deputation was a lot more fun than last week's. #Toronto

A slide depicting three politicians who failed to get elected, or lost their position because they took an anti-bike lane, anti-active transit approach.

Not going to lie, I'm pretty pleased with this slide that will accompany my comments at tomorrow's executive committee on the Dufferin & Bathurst TTC plans.

I'm going to get in so much trouble posting this in my office....

...TTC subway upgrades. Restored TTC service levels. Obtained millions for housing from the Feds. Extended library hours. Improving CafeTO applications. Improving park access re: washrooms. Actually tackling infrastructure backlog.

But I agree, I'm not always looking for the compromise position.

I hear this complaint often, but jurisdictionally there is basically nothing the City can do if the Province wants something. On Ontario place she gave up a losing battle to save the City billions by getting the Gardiner uploaded. She's secured billions from the Feds and Prov for..

So apparently "smoke" is weather now. Hurray...

Time to show up #TO

I am at the #FringeTo Indie Burlesque and Drag show, and it’s the most joyful I’ve been in weeks.
I missed Fringe.

So, someone should just play this for their deputation at the Exec Committee next week on the Dufferin Bus Lanes...

...but we'll see where we are when the dust settles. I may quickly change my tune.

I get it. I interpret all this (for now) as more of a "I've got a job to do, and I'm not going to do it in public, because the economic costs to the country are worse than the political costs to my image."

Which to me is...understandable...but not a satisfying message to the Public (or me).

Doesn't Conde Nast also own Reddit?

Seriously.

IMO, Carney needs to borrow Crisis Trudeau's speech writer and basically say (passive aggressively):
"You elected us to get you through this. We will. He will flail and scream and try to scare you. To weaken us. He wont. We will carry on. We will grind them down. We will persevere."
