Well now you've gone and done it: We'll all be seeing "moat" for the next few weeks!

Wha-??? I know I should not be surprised

Yes!

Folks object to those too

Because of warming temperatures, too many of us wore shoes today. I forgot how miserable slush is. Back to winter please. #dlws

That community-orientation saved hundreds of LatinX seniors during the Chicago heat wave written about in Eric Klinenberg's book Heatwave

I wonder how many familial relations bridge the border.

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

WOW!! You're what happened to my account 🙏🏻🥳

Housing starts up 5.6% in 2025 from 2024 A snapshot of Canada’s housing starts data for December 2025.

Housing starts up 58% in Montreal (2024->2025), 38% in Ottawa, 24% in Quebec City, 16% in Edmonton, 14% in Calgary.

Down 3% in Vancouver, 31% (!!!) in Toronto.

Don't look for the helpers. That was advice for children.

BE the helpers. BE the good-doers. BE the protectors.

We are the grown ups now, and our children our looking to us.

A good summary of the small win for #InclusionaryZoning in the city of #Toronto, and how three years later, the province finally approved the regulations to enforce some minimal standards to include #AffordableHousing in new builds.

Count on kids to keep us humble!

One of my favourite academics @alexvitale.bsky.social has joined Mamdani's transition team to focus on community safety. His decades-long work on #policing is fabulous so feeling optimistic!

WSIB protections for lost income cuts people off at the age of 65 even though more people are working past retirement age. Other provinces have re-adjusted legislation. Today @oniwg.bsky.social is calling for Ontario to recognise older workers' rights and this new labourforce reality #CanLab #CdnLab
