Very excited to talk about a delightfully strange chapter of Toronto history - when the city ran a fly-killing contest for children to deal with a very real public health problem. https://t.co/pPkKWaMQIi

@raincoaster How nice of you to say that. Thanks for picking it up!

@Fizbandu @chadsapieha Thanks Bradley!

@VIA_Rail Hello - just sent an urgent dm, hoping you can respond.

I'm grateful to @katecallen for digging into the wildly disparate cycling statistics to try to figure out how many people actually cycle in Toronto. It'd be great if policymakers were as curious as her.

Every day I open my eyes praying no more innocent children have died while I slept. Children with my name; children who look like mine. And every day for over 400 days, all we have seen are dead children, distraught parents and horrible heartache. We can’t normalize this.

Love this @royinori piece that uses 311 data to chart the geography of a certain kind of civic engagement/privilege. If your neighbourhood has a lot of complaints about general pruning you're probably rich! https://t.co/ip2QXmn3OO

A Durham deputy police chief was allegedly caught going 50 km/h over the speed limit but wasn’t ticketed.

The case has been kept from the public until now

Must read from @TheLocal_TO, genuinely: the first-ever neighbourhood-level life expectancy data in Toronto. The results are eye-opening, with a 12-year gap between communities a subway ride apart. Floored by @taimhuynh's work here. https://t.co/sKxdu1QspG

“We do everything, We wear our press jackets. We wear our helmets. We try not to go anywhere that’s not safe … but we have been targeted in normal places where normal citizens are … We want to report, we want to tell the world what’s going on..." -- @hindkhoudray

My God. This is too much. It’s all too much.

I'm from Scarborough and my mom has had cancer twice. So when @KupermanLeah and @urbykahn pitched this story, about a company using a carcinogenic chemical that moved from Scarb to Mississauga, I knew the @thenarwhalca had to tell it, with @TheLocal_TO. https://t.co/bE9W9FZk5D

[Brendan Kennedy (https://bsky.app/profile/bkstar) @BKennedyStar]

Very cool story and presentation of TTC complaints data by @thatemfagan & @NathanPilla (with data analysis by @primarydata).

Why we whine, what they do about it — and how your route ranks

Of all my courtroom moments this shoots to the top
“Mr. Zameer, you’re free to go sir,” Justice Anne Molloy told him, “you have my deepest apologies for what you have been through.”

The girl behind the photo. A reminder that Palestinians killed by Israel are not just numbers or white shrouds. They were once smiling 5 year olds who once hoped for peace. ✌🏽 💔😞
