Mayor Olivia Chow is up to explain why she wants to get rid of the TPA Board. She says TPA's parking lots are city assets., and they could be raising more funds.
She notes the 2026 city budget is a tough one. "We have to find money."

He’s reading your posts and it’s getting to him. Cuz they’re true.
"The rage-baiting is really nauseating," says Councillor Parthi Kandavel. "The idea or the implication that we're against kids getting ice cream or seniors getting a cappuccino, it's troubling. That insinuation that some of us are knuckle-dragging suburbanites ... it doesn't reflect the complexity."

The striking thing about Toronto council proceedings is how fussy and particular they are about managing the little details.
It leaves you with a feeling that nothing about the way Toronto is happens by accident. All of this is exactly how they want it to be. No detail is beneath their notice.

Councillor Shan moves to exclude three streets in his ward. He worries the retail spaces created won't just be small shops selling ice cream to locals, but things like "beef patties that are so popular that people from the 905 will come to get it." That'll just add to traffic problems, he says.

"We don't want successful businesses or things to do in our wards" - every Toronto City councillor, apparently.

That chart is well worth studying. Share of daily transactions taking place in cash around the world. As an Australian, I’m very much used to cashless everything by now. I’m still totally against going fully cashless.

This is the crux. There is an entire cohort of municipal politician in Canada who actively don't like that they live in cities (reflective of a lot of voters).
Someone really needs to do a ranking of all of the anti-city city mayors in Canada

Good news for Kitchener-Waterloo residents who like watching big league sports in Toronto:
The 22:34 Kitchener Line train that used to end (frustratingly) in Guelph, will be extended to Kitchener from 22 November. Attending weekday ballgames will be easier next season!
