I live in Toronto, I occasionally have opinions.

@bnicholsonsmith If the Jays go 35-25 the rest of the way that’s 95. And that would make the franchise record 3856-3855. One game over .500

[John Smith (son of Harry Leslie Smith) @Harryslaststand]

The rule that the "left" learned too late in Canada is your first and only ask to maintain a minority govt is election reform to obliterate first past the post and introduce proportional representation. #CanadaVotes

@jumpingleaves1 @JohnLorinc @fordnation There are stats. Why don’t you look them up? Collisions on Danforth reduced by 50%. On Bloor, conflicts between all road users (drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians) reduced by 44%.

All of this is public information.

And these are the safety improvements Ford wants to take away.

[Greg Cooke @CookieInTO]

@roman_corsetti @ColinDMello They've already got the next scapegoat queued up, and it isn't a surprise:

Immigrants.

If you thought the hate @fordnation stirred up against people who just want safer streets was bad, that was nothing. It's going to get uglier.

@chiweethedog @KFILE I swear I thought they were singing “Still pregnant!”

@Fredenburg55726 @TorontoStar Cyclists have already paid for the lanes - they pay for roads just like drivers (and, for that matter, pedestrians) do.

[Greg Cooke @CookieInTO]

@FawcettAdrian @PrabSarkaria @TheThanigasalam @CHogarthPC Like in Montreal? Where there's a big separated bike lane on Rue Saint-Denis?

But please, show us in Toronto the "side street" route that gets cyclists across the Humber, or the Don, or Mimico creek, or the rail corridors, or the 401, or the 427...

Why can’t AI do symmetry?!
The horns are lopsided. The pillars are offset.

If there’s one thing we learned from drawing that S over and over again on our grade 8 binders, it’s that symmetry matters!!

(But yes, Kamala looks badass)

[Machine Pun Kelly 🇺🇦 @KellyScaletta]

This just makes me want to vote for even more.

[Greg Cooke @CookieInTO]

@westendphoenix They cross their sevens. I’ll give them that.

@TorontoStar It’s the moon. That’s what to expect.

The moon is great. Gives us tides, nice to look at. We don’t need made-up nonsense like “super blue moon” to appreciate it.

@DrJenGunter Cucumber.

Proud to have been part of ghost bike ride memorial for young woman cyclist killed by a driver last week in #Toronto. Key message: you never ride alone. ⁦@CycleToronto⁩ ⁦@BikewaysTO⁩ ⁦@NotSafe4BikesTO⁩ ⁦@cityoftoronto⁩ ⁦@TO_Cycling_Ped⁩

Amazing turnout for the ghost ride for 24 yo cyclist killed on Bloor and Avenue Rd last week. #RIP #youneveridealone #SafeStreetsNow

@BonnieCrombie What’s your plan to cooperate and coordinate with @MaritStiles before the election to stop vote splitting? Because without one, you’re going to hand Ford another majority with about 39% of the vote.

[Greg Cooke @CookieInTO]

@normsworld With FPTP Ford knows he’s safe. The bums aren’t going to get thrown out without cooperation and coordination between @MaritStiles and @BonnieCrombie.

This was clear before the last election, and it’s clear now.

Stop👏splitting 👏the👏vote #Onpoli

@SiddallJoe @benshulman7 I guess my thought was that if their reads of situations are of higher quality - and the positive results back this up - they might have confidence to gradually expand the envelope of go vs no-go situations.

Thanks for the reply.

[Greg Cooke @CookieInTO]

Hey @SiddallJoe and @benshulman7, you guys were talking about the #BlueJays base-stealing efficiency yesterday. There’s an expression in poker: if none of your bluffs are getting called, you’re not bluffing enough. Should the Jays be more aggressive?

[Greg Cooke @CookieInTO]

How?

[Jagmeet Singh @theJagmeetSingh]

It's not right that you're struggling to afford groceries while Grocery Giants are posting record profits.

It's wrong.

I promise you. I'll never stop fighting - together I know we can change the rules to build a country that looks out for you - not just those at the top.

[Greg Cooke @CookieInTO]

@BtcManhattan @CanadianPolling We certainly did!

And that’s why Toronto wasn’t built on a fault line. Thanks for the lesson, San Francisco!
