Thank you, Toronto!

@TamaraVineberg @StViateurBagel That's amazing, wow! I am so happy for you and for all those who get to enjoy the bagels, and what they mean for your community. The folks at @StViateurBagel are the best. I hope someday I could join you for a bagel out west in Edmonton, here in Toronto, or east in Montreal! 🥯

@BradMBradford Toronto deserves better. You directly impacted these folks by defunding them. Cllr. Bravo introduced funding for warm shelter, you voted against it and huffed about defunding the police. It was a way to make our city safe and kind. The police don’t make the TTC safer.

@SaveWildBees It’s worse than BlogTO videos

@xkeya @SaveWildBees But not a Jerk King.

[Rachel Lissner @RLissner]

@kevin_louder @jpags Yes

[Rachel Lissner @RLissner]

@BradMBradford I want to know the funding behind this video. How much did it cost to make? What line in the budget is this under? How is this in the interest of people in BEY? Who paid you to unconvincingly eat a patty in Scarborough? Why are you inflicting this on the good people of Toronto?

[Rachel Lissner @RLissner]

@BradMBradford Are you defunding Fahmee's by reallocating funds to Patty King?

To clarify, by posting this video of you at Patty King, are you voting in favour of defunding other Scarborough institutions?

[Rachel Lissner @RLissner]

@Beth_Levy66 I was actually thinking of you while watching the meeting today. Our city would have been better for it.

[Rachel Lissner @RLissner]

@BradMBradford I am astonished by how poor your math is on the police budget. Preventive measures that help people avoid oppressive situations — like warmth and shelter — save a ton of money later on in terms of policing, courts, health, and other frontline services costs.

[Rachel Lissner @RLissner]

@BradMBradford What was accomplished when you chose to take away funding from homeless people in a city that saw -31 weather this month?

[Rachel Lissner @RLissner]

@AhmarSKhan Thank you for capturing this moment and making this point!

[Rachel Lissner @RLissner]

@theurbangeog @FrancesNunziata I liked when she said only folks in favour of not increasing the police people came to the budget meetings so she didn’t have the chance to hear from people who do want police increasing. What???

[Rachel Lissner @RLissner]

@jpags I am surprise he didn’t argue that there are more leaves without secure housing than people and therefore it would have been a more economical and wide reaching decision

[Rachel Lissner @RLissner]

@erikawybourn @GraphicMatt His own motions.

[Rachel Lissner @RLissner]

@jpags I liked the part when he casually joked about the celebrant's wife keeping him in life around work/life balance prior to retirement. Couldn't think of a more appropriate, self-aware comment coming from the Mayor.

@dmrider I would like John Tory to personally fund this election. Signed, a Torontonian

There is also a lot of glass at 892 Bathurst. Stay safe out there!

[Rachel Lissner @RLissner]

Hi @311Toronto there is a lot of glass at 862 Bathurst, around the parking meter. Could you please come by and take care of it? Thank you!

[Rachel Lissner @RLissner]

Hi @311Toronto there is a ton of broken glass on the sidewalk at 707 College at Montrose. It is in front of the garbage bin. I’m worried about dogs and soft-shoed people passing by. Thanks!
