@jen_keesmaat I'm disappointed to see you picking up this dog-whistle-y talking point, @jen_keesmaat. Do intl students deserve fairer treatment? Absolutely. But it's simply not accurate to blame them for the lack of affordable housing. Let's focus on those in power.

This article makes the most important point last: "They are a public good operated by a private-sector company that, under investor pressure, has rapidly lost interest." We need to stop expecting moving people to be profitable and hand it back to public agencies where it belongs.

What a morning! Congratulations to Mayor Olivia Chow on her inaugural day in office. It was a pleasure to ride with her down to City Hall.

Thanks to all who came to showcase the diverse group of people who ride bikes across Toronto.

Thank you for having me! I was particularly inspired to learn more about @SenRosaGalvez's proposed Climate-Aligned Finance Act (CAFA) to ensure that the financial sector and businesseses are accountable to their climate targets https://t.co/A6QjgfAYUZ

An encampment community has formed at Lamport Stadium again.

This happened in spite of 2021's violent, militarized evictions, and the City's round-the-clock surveillance of parks. This development, and the City's response to it, shows just how little has changed since then.

fwiw, Innisfill did not have transit before, but the idea of getting a public agency-enabled monopoly then hiking fares is what I think we should notice here

[Lindsay Wiginton @L_wig]

who could have seen this coming

@jaketobin YES

+1! Every time I use this station I redirect at least one sad person to the right platform. Usually more.

TO THOSE WHO STILL WANT TO AVOID COVID:

We’re in a one-way masking world now. Therefore, it’s time to upgrade your respirators. Cloth and surgical masks (and even some KN95s and N95) simply won’t suffice.

Here’s a 🧵 on some of the best masks you can get:
