.@NCC_GatPark , with the parkways designated for active users this morning, why isn't the water tap at P3 turned on? Temperatures are climbing over 30* are there are now a lot of dehydrated cyclists and hikers out here.

@richaucoin @planetbooty @TWRPband Yes!

HOT PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TAKE: It doesn’t get said enough how amazing the Canada Line to/from YVR is compared to the commuting experience for virtually every other North American airport.

Sure, Bernie and Larry are cousins, but I just found out former Ont Privacy Commish @AnnCavoukian and Mr. Bananaphone @Raffi_RC are siblings

@safiahC If you were elected to Toronto city council before 2010, you didn't support possible term limits (unless you're @RonMoeser44)

@JAndrewJ86 @GraphicMatt 15 councillors received less than 50% of the vote. 12 voted yes. @anabailaoTO , @rcho42 , and @joe_cressy voted no.

[Matt Blackshaw @ThatBlackshaw]

@GraphicMatt By my count, of the ten councillors who won by the narrowest margin last year, 9 voted yes, only @anabailaoTO voted no.

Waiting for the streetcar, saw Andy Byford stop chatting to execs to give a fistbump to the guy emptying the trash bins. #TransitTeamCaptain

My first time as a poll clerk: voter looking around cautiously, leaning in and whispering "So I heard I can decline my ballot" #samarachat

[Matt Blackshaw @ThatBlackshaw]

@jsbeebe If only we had those stylish curtains. This would increase youth voter turnout in Canada for sure.

When canvassing, talk to the 19yo who answers the door instead of waiting for them to get their parents. #samarachat

[Matt Blackshaw @ThatBlackshaw]

@laumicant @lesleyeanthony Don't worry, I'm still getting the hang of this too.

[Matt Blackshaw @ThatBlackshaw]

The @canyouengage team is excited for today's #samarachat on contact with youth in political participation!
