Enough is enough, no one should be scared of crossing roads but with more & more congestion plus distracted drivers, it's hard to feel safe. This report coming to council suggests upgrading many to proper traffic lights and I'm all for it! #TOpoli
This is so dangerous @ttchelps.bsky.social

Councillor Holyday: Putting a lot of effort into, and failing at, making family life less affordable. #TOpoli
NEW: Tuition of $30K+ per year is not holding back a growing number of Toronto parents from exploring private schools for their kids for next year. In interviews and statements, six local private schools say they're seeing a jump in demand. #topoli #onpoli www.torontotoday.ca/local/educat...
No one ran a strong campaign against him in 2022 and in 2018 he only won by a very narrow margin against his fellow incumbent. Then the other side of the coin is very few people in the ward vote for municipal because they don't feel there are options. A strong, organized alternative is what's needed
The City Council budget debate got me thinking today and it got me writing as well - some thoughts as we head into the season of sitting Councillors hunting for sound bites for the fall election - also known as Silly Season! #TOpoli #ONpoli

The Student Nutrition program really upsets people in his ward when they hear he is AGAINST funding it and its obvious to me that not only do we need fresh blood in Etobicoke Centre, but at the core of it, we need a rep who has compassion for all residents.
After the province cut speed cameras, Oshawa has to find a new way to cover the budget shortfall that was intended to buy replacement fire trucks. #oshawa #ontario #onpoli #durhamregion

Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.

Something we all need to be paying attention to #ONpoli
urbanism is very interesting in that it seems to be *the* way a lot of people are becoming politically / socially engaged
Not the $30M the feds had warned about, and frankly this feels like the worst of both worlds: big enough to irritate but not big enough to change behaviour (clearly)

Very true and if you are getting involved in any campaigns at any level this year, read this first! #TOpoli #ONpoli
Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.
I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

"Jess S, a road safety advocate w/ @ffsafestreets.bsky.social, said she’s worried traffic safety around schools, where most cameras were installed, could suffer in 2026.“You're putting children at risk. I cannot wrap my mind around any rationale for something like that" 1/ www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Armed men going door to door demanding your papers is textbook fascism.
The federal government of the United States has been temporarily occupied by a fascist insurgency and they must be removed.
Progress Toronto's top target for 2026, a year where there's a municipal election and not a provincial election, is... Doug Ford??? Could we maybe target some more councillors?
