@TTCnotices Great in theory but at Greenwood none of the busses are letting us on!

Results for places 5 to 10 in this mayoral race are almost as remarkable as the leaders. Chloe Brown outperforming some veteran politicians

City on the edge. It's neck and neck with Chow leading by a nose (1287 of 1451 polls reporting)

The sky is full of stories.

Throughout the world different cultures have looked up at the sky, and have seen patterns - constellations of stars - and handed down different names and stories.

Storytelling and astronomy is the theme of our next event.

Good speech. Statesmanlike, focused, strategic. But… why is the “pivotal moment” exactly now? Why is 17 months crucial? Why now, when the pandemic is still on, rather than after it’s actually over. He notes 1945 as a parallel. But by his logic that elexn should have been in 1944

@scotts_thoughts @CBCNews Ha!

[Victoria Paterson @vspaterson]

Props to @CBCNews for having an Election Call special this Sunday morning. Is now a good time to mention that I have launched a free Canadian federal election newsletter? First post went out last night. https://t.co/YPsAuRLCAr

Look, folks. I don't even disagree that these are pivotal moments for our country on a few fronts: climate change, the pandemic...I just also think that the governing party already had a mandate.

[Victoria Paterson @vspaterson]

Trudeau says we should have the choice of what the next 17 months will look like.

Me: "We're going to do this again in another 17 months?!?"

My husband: "Tweet that! Tweet that now!"

@RobMcGarry1 But not for many decades, and certainly not during our 24/7 multimedia news cycle.

Just finished A Master of Djinn by @pdjeliclark! Steampunk + Cairo + Djinn + Agent Fatma is just a rollicking good time, definitely one of my favourite fantasy (fantasy? Fantasy-esque? Sure let's go with that) reads of the year so far.
