These are empty roads all around the GTA right now.
Next time someone posts a photo of an empty bike lane as "justification" that we don't need them, remember this photo. #BikeTO #BloorBikeLanes #TOpoli

Things my toddler threw fits about: 1) not letting her "read" the Chicago Manual of Style and putting it away 2) having to go to bed instead of draw; so bottom line she's definitely taking after me

@SarahC_Toronto @DaveyTree This does seem to not include any Toronto arborist companies, which is telling (the Davey location outlined here appears to be one outside the city)

@akkabah If it's intended for a child, has no electronic parts, and physically fits in the washing machine, it's machine washable at my place

@paulghammond It's hard to fill the days now that the boomers who used to buy each other Dilbert coffee mugs for Xmas are retired, so time to dive into the same Youtube black holes they're going into

@akkabah Sorry, it's just for kids but if you fake that you're 12 on the request, they should see you tomorrow

@anthroscenester Oh good, using pages from the Ford playbook

@_anghost Has dude ever met a toddler? Because they also cry about having to wear shoes or being offered the snack they asked for 30 seconds ago, is that equally disturbing?

@amakeshiftlib You're not wrong

@HNewlevant Here the policy seems to be removing any remaining masking around vulnerable healthcare patients. And watched a doctor tell someone in a masks-required hospital area the other week tell a patient, "You can take your mask off if you want"

if you own a $2m home, a “punishing” 9% property tax increase would be $485/year.

THERE WERE 15 RECOMMENDATIONS in the AG's report. NOT 14 as Ford has said over and over and over this morning. The one he's ignoring is reverse all the openings and start again! Please can every story today mention this.

@westendphoenix I've lost track, are there any streetcar routes a streetcar is even running on currently or have they just given them all up?

Is it AI, satire, or a poignant comment on food justice in Canada today
