Uninformed commentators: “no one who works in the Financial District bikes to work.”

People who work in the Financial District:

[Alex Mather @AlexDRMather]

@anthonyfurey Bit odd how you love congestion.

[Britt Caron @briketysplit]

I almost get mowed down with my 1 year old on a daily basis at the crosswalk by my daycare (staffed by a crossing guard), but ya this feels like a good use of our resources

@TPAca @SIUOntario As a reminder, excessive force is excessive force, no matter how much you think you’re above the law you’re sworn to uphold.

[David Rider @dmrider]

The SIU is investigating Toronto police officers' violent arrest of a cyclist who failed to stop during a ticketing blitz. The man's lawyer say he suffered a concussion when they tackled him to the ground https://t.co/Opm5yxH6Ql

[The Biking Lawyer (Dave Shellnutt) @TheBikingLawyer]

Your officers concussed a kid for a traffic ticket, but I'm not shocked that this embattled police chief would make a video like this. From Spain to Project South, TPS is in shambles.

@integrity_to Looks great and like a totally normally functioning city. More of this, please.

[Alex Mather @AlexDRMather]

@USAmbCanada One day not long from now your dictator daddy will be gone but we’ll always remember how thoroughly you debased yourself for him.

[Alex Mather @AlexDRMather]

@TPAca @TheBikingLawyer Yeah but we know you just hate people riding bikes, because you don’t tackle drivers who roll through stop signs. Pretty simple. Just be honest about your weird hang-ups.

[Alex Mather @AlexDRMather]

@TorontoPolice @TheBikingLawyer You could do this with cars literally every at literally every intersection in the city, and cars actually kill people. But we get it, you hate cyclists and tolerate dangerous driving — we’d all much prefer if you dropped the charade and were just honest about it.

My @TorontoStar column this week: Told ya so. Told ya so. Told ya so.

The data since Doug Ford banned speed cameras is definitive. Speeds are up significantly across the city as drivers seemingly aren’t worried about police enforcement.

Canada's role in taking firm action – often trailblazing – to ramp up pressure against Russia and in rallying allies across the Atlantic to support Ukraine is greatly appreciated by Ukrainians. Ultimately, this is what will help bring Russia's war to an end. Thank you, Mark, and all Canadians for your support and condolences.

[CityNews Toronto @CityNewsTO]

Speeds on Parkside Drive in the city’s west end have increased more than 200 per cent since the province banned the use of speed cameras, according to data from the City of Toronto. https://t.co/2gOIORTduQ

[Toronto Tempo @TempoBasketball]

Lights, camera, ready for action. 🤩

These astronauts are just a balm: impossibly cheery, down to earth, committed, decent. They are clearly extraordinary people, and yet reassuringly normal. At a time when the news is dominated by people who are either cruel or corrupt or insane or incompetent or all of the above, they remind us not all is lost.

[NYC DOT @NYC_DOT]

speed camera violations are $0 if you don’t speed

Always love our @HousingNowTO @UofTCities sessions — the future is bright!

[HousingNowTO @HousingNowTO]

@UofTCities @UofT @_CreateTO @WaterfrontTO @Metrolinx @InfraOntario @HICC_ca @TOHousing @BDPQuadrangle [Toronto, ON] Insightful experience for our @UofTCities #MUCP students at @CollecdevTO's offices, receiving hands-on expert mentoring to improve their #AffordableHousing innovation projects from @AlexDRMather and his team..!

[Alex Mather @AlexDRMather]

@ashley_quan @TheBikingLawyer @metromorning Yeah, nope — all on Bloor yesterday. Busiest route in the city, still completely impassable 10 days after the storm.

[Robyn Urback @RobynUrback]

The frame-by-frame stuff doesn’t matter.

Millions of Americans, who defended the second amendment all of two minutes ago, will say this killing was justified because the man had a gun. They will say it’s ok a deranged militia is executing people, because their president said so
