@DvorahRichler I'm not happy with my Dyson either. When my 17-year old Miele quit four years ago, I should have bought another one.

@moore_oliver Incroyable dinosaure !

@lloydalter @FFSafeStreets @CBCHereandNow My 18-year old son, Dylan, rode for Uber Eats at the start of the summer. I worried every time he was out on the road. Whether he didn't like the gig work or he could sense my discomfort, Dylan is no longer riding on Toronto's deadly streets. I am relieved.

@311Toronto please pick up Rocky on sidewalk at 204 Bain Ave in #Riverdale. He's been gone 60+ hours now and is with Conrad. @jasonwagar @norm #DeadRaccoonTO

[David Stark @davidstarkca]

@DvorahRichler Yeah, I've had it. I've filled in forms for multiple Rexall, Guardian/IDA and Shoppers locations. I'm done and will just wait until I receive an email from one of them inviting me to book. Maybe we'll be eligible to get a Pfizer or Moderna shot before the AZ email arrives.

@DvorahRichler I never thought I'd look back fondly on doing the 7 am scramble to get the kids into coveted City of Toronto Parks and Rec programs. Getting a vaccine appointment pales in comparison!

Thanks to @metromorning and @mattgallowaycbc for focusing on road safety & challenging council & the province to fully implement Vision Zero. Everyone walking or bicycling in our city is someone’s friend or family. If you’re driving, please see them as though they were your own.

Hey @NACTO #NACTO19. Before you fawn over Toronto's leadership, we have seen MANY pedestrians preventably killed in recent weeks. This woman, killed yesterday, might have been someone's mom. https://t.co/SBGWK8pBaR
This one, Friday, someone's grandpa? https://t.co/FxGiYEfN3y

Thank you, Toronto Life and @pupomark for this must-read article.

@kipperspal If you go to the VIA snack car, try the borscht. It's superb!

[David Stark @davidstarkca]

@BellFibe craps out with 30 secs left in the Raptors game. How about an apology to your subscribers and an explanation!

[David Stark @davidstarkca]

@ArnoHum Happy belated! The big 50 is looming for me with just a few months to go.

[David Stark @davidstarkca]

@emmawaverman Thank you for your Eating while Grieving article in today's Globe. It resonated with me and brought me back to a painful time.

[David Stark @davidstarkca]

Why am I not surprised? It is a precarious time to be a pedestrian in Toronto https://t.co/9LhRH85Lnh

[Jeff Gray @jeffreybgray]

The word you were looking for, driver who nearly hit me while I was crossing the road at an intersection with the right of way, was sorry, not “relax.”

Join us Mon, Mar. 26 (5:45 pm) at #Toronto City Hall for a die-in - a demonstration that we are outraged by the ongoing traffic deaths in our city & a call to action, starting w. the Yonge St vote. https://t.co/wmQim34MHy #topoli #walkTO #bikeTO

@moore_oliver @globeandmail @moore_oliver Several speakers at #VZCon18 have talked about this. We at #ffsafestreets appreciate the @globeandmail editorial. #cycleto #walkto

Toronto mayor "is sending a mixed message when he says he wants to get drivers home more quickly and pedestrians home more safely"

Leah Shahum of @Visionzeronet: "elected officials, if you're not slowing streets down, you're not doing #VisionZero" on Reimagining Yonge #VZCon18

[Friends and Families for Safe Streets @FFSafeStreets]

"Transform Yonge" is a vote on city-building. We must persuade #TOCouncil to prioritize safe & lively streets over drive-through convenience. https://t.co/Q7MxZFBLFH #walkTO #bikeTO #ReimagineYonge #VisionZeroTO @JohnTory @JohnFilion23
