[navneet alang / ਨਵਨੀਤ @navalang]

Regular reminder that I am always looking for interesting opinion pitches on almost any subject of interest to a @TorontoStar audience. And if you have ideas for an essay, a Q&A, a reflective slice of life piece with a point of view, also get in touch. It's [email protected]

Opinion | I loved Toronto. I miss it every day. But I am relieved beyond measure that I left. https://t.co/iMEEf8wwPf

Opinion | Writing a good obituary is a delicate art. https://t.co/SmNspAGdhW

Do I know any writers who live in New Delhi, Lahore or a city with similar air quality issues? Looking for someone to opine about what it's like to live under the persistent threat of poor air quality.

#StarExclusive: Canada has seen a steep rise in hate toward South Asians on social media in recent years, with a large spike occurring during the recent federal election — especially aimed at former NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, according to a new report. https://t.co/pK5QyMoqNi

[Toronto Star @TorontoStar]

Instead of giving in to Drake, Jagmeet Singh should have copied this leader instead.

Here’s my latest for the @TorontoStar on PM Carney’s pathetic display re: Modi and India

In the wake of that bonkers AI-generated reading list that circulated last month, I asked Canadian authors, poets and illustrators to recommend one piece of fiction they recommend reading this summer.

John Tory had never spent even two nights by himself before the pandemic. That's just one of the many revelations in @JohnFilionTO's remarkable reported essay on what happened to Toronto's leaders during and after COVID-19. https://t.co/Qm8ycMDV84

A question for residents of other cities across Canada and the U.S.: how much is a small treat like a hot dog or an ice cream where you are? Trying to figure out if Toronto is more expensive

[manuela vega @_manuelavega]

In dealing with density, Toronto is unique. It’s one of the fastest-growing cities in the world, building around a mostly postwar design.

Some ideas for better vertical living that we can borrow from other cities in my latest for @TorontoStar:

A fatal shooting outside a supervised consumption site tore apart this neighbourhood. Two years later, the site's closed — but people remain divided https://t.co/IcFlxgwrLn via @torontostar

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

That was a lovely exchange.
Challenging questions are welcome, as long as they are not propaganda-driven. And intelligent people, do not amplify propaganda.
Thank you, Adrian.

[Richard Warnica @richardwarnica]

if Poilievre can’t close the deal against a rank rookie in Carney, it won’t be because of Trump. It will be because too many Canadians looked at him — the real him, the one he’s been showing off in all his rallies — and decided “That guy’s not for me.”

This is my periodic contribution to the hellsite now: getting mad every few months about how easy it is to come across explicit racism on X and how awful things are and resenting the fact that a lot of smart/interesting people continue to post here (hence my logging on!)

[navneet alang / ਨਵਨੀਤ @navalang]

It's a lot more accurate to say that "a lot of what this site is now" is that Twitter has been like this for a solid couple of years and people are still bemoaning it like this is new, or that there are no options. no-one is holding a gun to your head?
