A lot of misinformation out there.

Just launched a new site to ensure the public has access to fact-based data around the Southern CA wildfires.

The TRUTH:
- CA did NOT cut our firefighting budget. We have nearly doubled the size of our firefighting army and built the world’s largest aerial firefighting fleet.
- CA has INCREASED forest management ten-fold since we took office.
- California will NOT allow for looting.

The Harris campaign says they view Blue Wall states as their clearest path to 270, and are pointing toward incoming votes in Philadelphia (expect more in coming hours), Detroit (results expected after midnight), and Milwaukee (don't expect full Wisconsin results until 3am to 5am)

Funny how US elections get bigger and more expensive without people getting angry about the gerrymandering bullshit…

[WB62 @WBMetro62]

Yesterday morning a brand new piece of track on the Kitchener Line was put into service.
This means two trains heading in opposite directions can pass each other between Georgetown and Kitchener GO, something previously impossible until trains reached east of Georgetown GO.

Bloor, Yonge, University:

“The bike-lane hadn’t even replaced a lane of car traffic! It replaced street parking, which ironically can contribute to street congestion.”

[@jdavey @jdavey_2]

A very satisfying application of community notes.

[Alex Bozikovic @alexbozikovic]

Bloor/Spadina, Nov. 4, 8:34am. Over three minutes I saw 23 vehicles and 25 cyclists, including one parent with baby.

The only congestion was caused by a vehicle. Will @fordnation @PrabSarkaria pass special legislation to take away this person's minivan?

John Oliver's brilliant take on why he's voting for Kamala Harris. And he featured Georgia State Rep. Ruwa Romman.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

He wasn’t joking.
