@jayme_poisson Grateful to have you hosting @FrontBurnerCBC! You are one of my favourite podcast hosts, Canadian or otherwise. I know the podcast landscape can change quickly but hope you’ll be hosting this podcast for many years to come.

@TheGameSheet Hey Jordan, I came back on my X account to msg you that you very much missed on @thebigstoryfpn and inthiseconomy podcasts! While I still listen to them & appreciate the different voices, I miss your hosting style. Hope you’ll return or start another podcast or 2!

President @JoeBiden stops his reelection campaign after intense pressure from the Democrats calling him to step down. What will this mean for the American election?

Mayoral candidates take note - yesterday's warning from the #IPCC means that we cannot continue saying nice things and doing very little. This approach is failing now, and it's failing future generations. Please read this whole thread ⬇️ #topoli

The @TheEconomist annual Democracy Index is out.

Nine out of the top ten strongest democracies use proportional representation.

Canada ranked 12th.

Thank you Toronto. It has been the honour of a lifetime to serve you.

Here is my final letter as Mayor to the people of our city.

Don’t like tweeting scandals but do have some important questions: when will the election be, how much will it cost, who will run, will we have better voter turnout (probably), and will @fordnation take away Toronto’s strong mayor powers? #TOpoli #ONpoli https://t.co/0uN1iJbIFe

@jen_keesmaat Principles I (try to) live by as well.

[Jennifer Keesmaat @jen_keesmaat]

We had a moment when our kids were little when we changed our doctor, dentist, hairstylist to be within walking distance of our house, and decided that any after school activity on a weekday that required driving was out. Our quality of life went up immensely.

In other news, @cityoftoronto is starting virtual public consultations this month (Feb 21 & 23) on multiplex housing and you can see & comment on proposed zoning by-law amendments released yesterday here. #TOpoli #housing https://t.co/Lx6LRujfzx

[Yonge4All @Yonge4All]

Confirmed! The Midtown Yonge Complete Street will be a PERMANENT part of our neighbourhood and of Toronto's active transportation network. This is a huge win for climate action, safer streets, and a vibrant, inclusive Yonge Street. THANK YOU to City Council for your leadership!

@environmentca @cityoftoronto Any plans to internally develop or partner with existing innovators towards integrated reusable foodservice container systems for use at foodservice businesses? Businesses and consumers need them! No plans? Please come up with one! #TOpoli #cdnpoli

[Grace Ki @GraceKi]

Excited to be here to learn more about "What the Federal Single-Use Plastics Prohibition Regulations Mean for Food Service Businesses" specific to Toronto from @cityoftoronto & @environmentca! #wastereduction #noSUP #Topoli #ONpoli #cdnpoli

[Grace Ki @GraceKi]

Some Q's following webinar
@environmentca
: Why are SUP items such as beverage lids, condiment packets, stand-up plastic pouches, shrink-wrap, etc not included in the prohibition despite them being designed for and are in fact being consumed for single use? #TOpoli #cdnpoli
