Deviant pedestrian. I’m bullish on cities, opposed to fascism and write editorials for The Globe and Mail. Never 51. @moore_oliver at the bird site, which I've mostly left. Will try to respond via omoore@globeandmail.ca. Header pic by Mervyn Sequeira

I don't know about you, but if my daughter was killed alongside 84 others by American bombs, I imagine myself and those other parents would be more than tempted by anti-American extremism.

Not saying that city hall has anything to do with the OP’s pic, but the departure of Tory surely allows bureaucrats to admit what transit-watchers figured out a long time ago

The way city hall continues to pretend that Smart Track is a real thing, long after its champion left the scene, is a source of great bewilderment

News Releases - Toronto Police Service

Release does not specify, says only resident of Toronto. I'd link to it but the cops' media page hasn't been updated in more than three weeks

this is who we’re supposed to feel bad for (and ostensibly be more receptive to sex with) when they write those male loneliness epidemic articles

How do we know this is AI slop and disinformation? The misspelling of Canada on the front jersey is maybe a clue

Convoys types setting up on Queen by the forthcoming Osgoode station. Maybe they’re protesting Metrolinx‘s pace of construction and lack of transparency

Metrolinx and the city spent nearly $100M on SmartTrack stations that may never be built, documents reveal Confidential documents seen by the Star show that roughly $97 million has been spent on stops at King-Liberty and Finch-Kennedy that were indefinitely deferred in 2024.

Too much politicking and arguing, says guy who ran on fantasy transit plan

This reaction by John Tory to the Star reporting that $100M was blown on transit stations that weren’t built is going to turn some Torontonian into the joker

Maybe this is the Canadian in me, but I think most non-Olympians would be embarrassed to have a gold medal around their neck. Real stolen honour stuff
