Just let me pre-register. My info’s not changing. I’m not high risk so I’m fine to wait. But I don’t want to miss out because I didn’t click the right link at exactly the right time.

Stop scrolling, take a deep breath, and use the next few minutes to escape to a place where the air is sweet. ♥️

Use money from speed camera fines to change those streets to discourage speeding, says @GraphicMatt

School reopening should precede Stage 3 of economic reopening. It is smarter to invest in getting our kids/teachers/staff safely back in school 5d/week before we go out to eat/patronize a bar/catch a movie or go for a workout...which will invariably increase community spread

@CraveCanada Found a typo in the opening screen of Three Identical Strangers.

Watching Infra & Env Committee debate e-scooters. Fun to imagine similar debate about allowing cars. “Our proposal: metal boxes that go 150 km/h+. In cities that allow them, many have died. You should allow them to stop and block part of street for hours on end for a few bucks.”

Kudos to the folks putting in the new bike lanes curbs today on River Street in our neighbouring @CorktownTO! Excited for all the other cycling improvements to come in #toronto #BikeTO #RiversideTO

[Andrea Wightman @awightman]

@GraphicMatt I second that! Mill St to Rosedale is a great start but We. Want. More. 🚴‍♀️

It is really important to continue to reiterate the action we all need to take if we are going to stop the spread of this deadly virus. Remember to wash your hands often, keep your distance, and as best you can, please #StayHome. Learn more at: https://t.co/uLjNEQFOxx

I get it, but... damn it.

[City of Toronto 🇨🇦 @cityoftoronto]

#CityofTO closing playgrounds and other parks amenities to stop the spread of COVID-19. News release: https://t.co/JrUyq02Q1u

[Andrea Wightman @awightman]

@sarahbarker Me too! I didn’t realize what a comfort it is to walk to a cafe with a friend and have a conversation in person, over coffee. ☕️

[City of Toronto 🇨🇦 @cityoftoronto]

#Stayhome, Toronto! Visiting friends is not social distancing. Gathering in parks is not social distancing. Social distancing means staying home and staying six feet apart from others. Do your part to help prevent the spread of #COVID19. https://t.co/9Unc5FtjZu
