Ah, the blessings of the cursed.
Shane McGowan’s torrid and mighty voice is mud and roses punched out with swaggering stagger, ancient longing that is blasted all to hell. A Bard’s bard, may he cast his spell upon us all forevermore.

Sometimes you just have to grab your bike & put rubber to pavement to demonstrate the overwhelming support for safe infrastructure. This Sunday cyclists from the GTA will take to the new Bloor Bike Lanes en masse! #bikeTO

@martynschmoll @RichmondRCMP This is more accurate. https://t.co/PuKXwNvi2R

[Community Bikeways - TCBC @BikewaysTO]

When was the last time you saw 5 MPPs + TO's mayor on bikes? Probably never. It's all in our latest nwsltr: Scarboro ride for Moving Ontarians Safely Act, a prkng meter party with turtles, constructn safety + upcoming ride on new Bloor lanes. https://t.co/OQGEEn7SPS #biketo

The story of the Christie Pits Riot, which occurred 90 years ago, is now being taught to students on the very field where Anglo-Saxon Protestants battled against Jews and Italian immigrants in what remains Canada’s largest race riot. https://t.co/HlzHvk0rVE

Why? Because a car might slide and hit them? Maybe, “for safety reasons, Toronto should arrest all those driving tonight.” If safety is your concern, eliminate those making our streets unsafe. It isn’t cyclists. @TorontoCycle

For safety reasons, Toronto should arrest all those cycling tonight.

@jar_roger @cpeepee_31 @CityofVancouver How do you know it’s non-essential? Lots of folks use their bikes as their primary mode of transportation. Could be going to work, bringing their senior relative essentials during the storm, picking up medication for their kid, etc.

Big news! @slugumentary makes its @cbc Main Channel premiere and @cbcgem premiere on Sunday, January 15th at 8pm!

#GardinerFiasco. Tory’s poor city management & leadership. “At the time, both the city's chief planner and medical officer of health supported the boulevard option, which was also substantially cheaper than the hybrid option.” #NotTooLate. VOTE #Gil4Mayor https://t.co/qkq40gSzUu

[michael mezz @michaelmezz]

listen to her explain the Van Gogh soup protest.

she’s got a point, no?

[Gil Penalosa @Penalosa_G]

Toronto should be safe for seniors. A city that works for 80-year-olds and 8-year-olds will work for everyone. Read my plan here ➡ https://t.co/lLTeRg52bG #ToPoli #SorryTory #Gil4Mayor

[Gil Penalosa @Penalosa_G]

Electing a mayor is about your daily life, affordable homes, safe streets, greener transport., public services that actually work. Are you and your community better off today than 8 years ago? Read my proposals for a radically different city, for everyone. https://t.co/xAqe7RKc2O
