There are still some voting places with voters in line. Unofficial results for the 2026 Toronto Municipal Election will be available after the polls close at https://t.co/fV5TEwigiT.

Results will begin to be available at approximately 9 p.m.

@raghu_venugopal @ConradMBlack Perhaps some of that. But I still find him a very compelling writer and enjoy reading his pieces even if I need a dictionary beside me while doing it.

[Paul Andersen @pandersen]

@TheresaLubowitz Yes but she wasn't the incumbent and the only progressive candidate with a serious campaign before.

[Paul Andersen @pandersen]

Does misery like company? I am watching from a close. This is a fascinating race. Much like the PP Fed campaign Chow seems to have plotted a safe and quiet campaign and has no plan B it seems when people clearly reacted looking for what her go forward substance would be.

[Warren Kinsella @kinsellawarren]

How much of a loser am I? I'm in a plane over the South Pacific somewhere and I'm obsessively studying Toronto municipal election coverage.

Like I said: total loser.

As a political geek watcher putting aside my own views. Was a bit stunned to see Chow not get a nod from the progressive paper of record. In fact no Toronto daily seems to have endorsed her.

Setting guard rails and rate limits on your platform for bots is a fair thing. Stopping bots from using your site feels like you are using a kids sandbox bucket to empty water out of the titanic. Amazon should know this.

Maybe we should start a competitor to Amazon 🤔

@pmayvr @CTVVancouver Actually my understanding is it's a bit of an asymmetry between CAN and US. You can use a nexus lane to enter Canada without goods but to acquire. But not the reverse.

[Paul Andersen @pandersen]

@pmayvr @CTVVancouver But as this person found out too late yes it's also a regulation to enter and exit commercial lanes even if empty as they use that data for tracking. I learned before entering. This person wasn't as lucky

[Paul Andersen @pandersen]

@pmayvr @CTVVancouver The documents you get aren't clear at least when I had similar question. Wording was you can't approach a lane with commercial goods. It wasn't clear to me if you can use the nexus lane to enter empty for picking up goods to bring back through a commercial lane.

Vandal defaces a Brad Bradford campaign sign with devil horns, then has nothing to say for herself.

Interfering with an election sign is unlawful. If you believe a sign has been improperly placed, report it to 311.

@kinsellawarren Calling the Absurd may be the understatement of the decade.

[Paul Andersen @pandersen]

@yodanschlo @themediatrainer Apparently they got it as part of the deal that let CBC carry the games

[Mark E. Jeftovic @jeftovic]

@k_leplante The "reporters" the CBC sent to us during the Wikileaks thing were un-fucking -believable.

They had it all scripted and I'm like, "none of that is true and I'm not saying it"

They ended up airing a segment with some "cyber-expert" who was working out of his car.

[Paul Andersen @pandersen]

@jeftovic I am under a tree lately. People are giving blowback because a resident expressed an opinion?

[Paul Andersen @pandersen]

@JoNationLive I also see people saying this is a problem with RobiTaxj. If anything shows benefit. If a guy jumps in front of a regular car it may or may not stop if the person sees them. And if they did that likely stops the road rage incident

[Paul Andersen @pandersen]

@BenLerch1 @JoshWest247 This.

[Paul Andersen @pandersen]

@susandelacourt I am fine with the providers who are updating their maps to established policies. Imagine the outrage if Meta updated a Lake Zuke. If they follow a government source best to focus frustration at the data source not the company parsing it.

[Paul Andersen @pandersen]

@johnennis What provider have you moved to post? Keeping my options open.

[Paul Andersen @pandersen]

@trq212 Or you could simply not do that. All this drives is a world of watermark removers.

[Paul Andersen @pandersen]

@jeftovic I don't know about the disclosing. But it seems like a weird move. I wonder if this may be a backfire on the EU which has in recent years enjoyed regulating the world Internet (see GDPR)
