Quest for the Crosstown: Relive the twists and turns in the Eglinton LRT’s 50-year odyssey before Sunday’s launch — if you’re game For more than five decades, rapid transit along Eglinton Avenue has been a must-have in any city plan. What took it so long?

While you wait eagerly for the 10 am press conference about the Toronto Police officers, you should enjoy this incredible Eglinton Crosstown timeline, one of the most fun things a newspaper has ever done: www.thestar.com/interactives...

This is one of my favorite optical illusions, because even when you know specifically HOW IT WORKS, it's still hard to make your brain believe it.

The image below is real-world video, but you're being tricked into believing it's an elaborate miniature by the DIORAMA EFFECT.

Let's talk about it.

Canadians should be following this very closely!

We are only about 30% to our goal. If you have the means to help, we would be grateful. It’s hard times in media right now and those affected at Vox were stellar storytellers and editors at a time when journalism is desperately needed.

Even a signal boost helps!

What a great thread, and very cool vacation! I've been planning to do the Simcoe loop this year, in 1 day. I've been trying to plan and figure out how easy it will be to find washrooms, drinking water, etc.

Still some research to do, but now I'm wondering if a 2 day journey would be another option.

On this day, 2 years ago. I sat in bed and said to myself, 'Why haven't you finally made that compilation of Jim McDonald from Coronation Street, absolutely battering people to Motörhead? So I did.'

Enjoy! It will forever be my greatest contribution to society.

Hey everyone - I started a Toronto East-enders starter pack. I'm always curious about who else lives in our zone - roughly Don Valley to Victoria Park, waterfront to Taylor Creek (but flexible). I know there's people I follow who I didn't include, so reply for me to add you. go.bsky.app/9psq3Hq

Does Corktown count as East? If so include me!

I'm not sure if it's intended, but this story didn't hit the subscribers RSS feed, and I actually don't see it on the non subscriber feed either.

Occasionally something won't show up on the Sub feed but it is on the other one, don't see this story at all.

If you aren’t already following Christy’s phenomenal journalism, you should immediately fix that.

Great reporting here!!!!

Can gift links be shared via the subscribers RSS feed? Or do I need to open in browser first?

Great set!

Wait for the slo-mo. Insane. Amazing

You reference the iPad Air already being on M4, and getting an M5 upgrade next year, but the current generation is M3.

Interesting update from @thebentway.bsky.social on connecting a series of trails under the Gardiner from Dufferin to the DVP. While I'm all for new trails in this city, I would still prefer Queen's Quay or the Richmond-Adelaide cycle tracks. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli thebentway.ca/news/toronto...

December 8, 2025 Ride more, pay less: Mayor Chow introduces fare capping on TTC Automatic savings for transit riders in 2026 budget TORONTO - Mayor Olivia Chow and TTC Chair Jamaal Myers announced fare capping is coming to the TTC, which will make transit more affordable for riders across the city. Starting September 2026, TTC riders will automatically ride for free after taking 47 trips in a calendar month, with no upfront costs. This is part of the Mayor’s 2026 budget. “We’re making life more affordable for people who rely on transit,” said Mayor Chow. “With fare capping, you pay as you go, and once you’ve taken 47 trips in a month, the rest of your rides are free. No more deciding whether you can afford a monthly pass upfront. No more overpaying if you don’t ride enough to make a pass worth it.” To phase-in even more affordable transit, Mayor Chow will ask the TTC to plan for an even lower fare cap of 40 trips for the 2027 budget year.

Mayor Olivia Chow is introducing fare capping for TTC riders in her upcoming budget. Instead of having to decide whether it makes sense to buy a monthly pass in advance, rides will automatically be free after 47 trips starting next Sept.

Ya, and also I’m not in Italy 😩

I love both French and Italian espresso, but I would say that there's something unique about the 3rd wave style specialty coffees we can get from smaller batch, independent roasters.

Not as a comparison, it's almost like an entirely different thing sometimes.

You'll miss Pleribus, which looks like it will be great!

I live right by here and it's been so clear this entire year there was no way that it was opening, but they waited so long to confirm what everyone could already see.

On weekends plenty of folks are using it, accessible by Corktown Common park, the southern most section is paved and complete.
