#topoli #onpoli Ask yourself what the building industry thinks about this transparently false promise? ‘Go ahead & make us’? ‘Only if this give us land for free’? Preposterous lying. https://t.co/7hBF7sdLZF

@OPP_CR @DickJim3 @TownOfCaledon Were they though? I doubt it.

Show THAT video (with enhanced sound effects), because motorized vehicles are far more dangerous and rarely bothered, even though they are the greatest danger.

This video is just stupid.

@semicortex @shawnmicallef @BikeShareTO The PBSC app for Toronto Bike Share is actually pretty good. I walk up to a bike, scan the QR code and an on my way in less than 30 seconds. It's less than $100.00 a year for a service that's more convenient and reliable than the TTC.

Maybe, I dunno, turn the empty buildings into affordable housing? Residents tend to buy things.

[CTV News Toronto @CTVToronto]

A new study suggests that downtown Toronto’s economic recovery is lagging behind other urban centres. https://t.co/JMVr49Nm9c

One of my advisees just gave me a War of 1812 scented candle, and it is *hilarious.* This is the end of semester pick-me-up that we all need.

[Now Toronto @nowtoronto]

Toronto’s oldest (still occupied) house played a small part in a treasonous bit of history during the War of 1812. https://t.co/ohQO9GFrZ0

100 years ago today, the City of Toronto purchased the assets of the Toronto Railway Company for 1-million dollars.

The following day, the newly created Toronto Transportation Commission (TTC) took over responsibility for public transit in Toronto. https://t.co/pKIIiUGew3

Not to alarm anyone, but someone's been going around Toronto, Canada, leaving notes of support and encouragement in random places.

And it's awesome.
