The Province’s move to remove bike lanes from major streets in Toronto is completely irresponsible + shortsighted. As we work to build a world-class city that can handle + sustain massive population growth + pressure in the coming years, this is a disappointing step backwards.

[Amber Morley @CllrAmberMorley]

Yesterday, we held a productive road safety town hall with residents in the Dwight Ave + Birmingham St neighbourhood to discuss what we can do to make our roads safer + address trucks speeding down the streets. Thank you to all residents for providing constructive feedback.

[Amber Morley @CllrAmberMorley]

Good news! The TTC + @ATUlocal113 have reached a tentative agreement that will avoid a TTC strike today + clear the path for a settlement. I'm incredibly grateful to everyone making progress towards a fair deal + keep transit moving.

[Mayor Olivia Chow 🇨🇦 @MayorOliviaChow]

My budget gives people an affordable place to call home, makes transit better, fixes what’s broken and invests in young people and community safety.

That’s how we get our city back on track.

New and exclusive from me: Mayor @oliviachow will tomorrow propose a total 9.5% property tax hike, down from the city staff-suggested 10.5% and under the psychological double-digit threshold https://t.co/YfzjRbB4fx via @torontostar

[Amber Morley @CllrAmberMorley]

I’m excited and honoured to invite neighbours and community members from across Etobicoke-Lakeshore to my first-ever Fall Fest on October 1, 2023! Join us for a family-friendly, outdoor festival to celebrate the changing seasons and bring the community together.

[David Moscrop @David_Moscrop]

Yes, the top earners pay the most tax. Now, tell me what percentage of the national wealth they hold.

A new report finds that there is *no* province in which you can afford housing on minimum wage.

In Toronto and Vancouver, the wage you must make to afford a 1-bedroom is *more than twice* the minimum wage.

This is a scandal. https://t.co/QvUEWsOaIL

Together, we can

And today, we start.

I can’t believe Olivia Chow spent her first morning as mayor-elect personally torching cars with Molotov cocktails along the Gardiner, but you’ve gotta respect the hustle.

[Ahmar Khan @AhmarSKhan]

Here’s Mayor-Elect Olivia Chow answering a question in Cantonese — that she had also answered in English. A first for a Toronto Mayor. #TOpoli

[Diana Chan McNally @DianaCMcNally]

In 2000, Olivia Chow helped to overturn a city-wide ban on raves instituted by then mayor Mel Lastman. As a DJ who sees Toronto's arts and culture scene becoming increasingly unsustainable, maybe there's an inkling of hope that a "Music City" is possible. https://t.co/jCAXbIiBGH

Out walking my dog this morning, I was moved to see an @oliviachow volunteer in purple hat and t-shirt putting celebratory fresh flowers on Jack Layton’s grave.
Feels like Toronto might just be pulling out of something that was so chaotic, yet dull, and deeply ungenerous .

[Jennifer Keesmaat @jen_keesmaat]

Let's nip this nonsense in the bud:

1. 40% voter turn out; significantly higher than the last municipal election we just held. Remarkable given that there were no ward races.

2. Mayor-elect @oliviachow won by a higher margin than Lastman or Miller.

So.

Lol On 100th anniversary of Chinese Exclusion Act barring Chinese from entering Canada, an Asian-Canadian woman will lead Canada's biggest city. @oliviachow to be sworn in July 12

[Jay Pitter @Jay_Pitter]

I’m grateful for folks like @g_meslin, @joshuahind, @kailahunte, @briketysplit, @normsworld, @BrentToderian, groups behind the Bradford & Bailão accounts & many others for prompting critical convos & unabashedly resisting the status quo. I’m proud we were fierce versus polite.

Farrah, thank you for your bravery. For your vulnerability, championing sexual and reproductive healthcare, and drawing attention to care inequities.

Cancer can tear through our lives, but we are held together by community. I'm here for you and @KristynWongTam.
