Toronto guy who weirdly wants to be involved in politics for some reason. Bizarre. Still holding out hope to represent Bloc Québécois in Scarborough Southwest (call me le chef Blanchet)

Just thought I might toss this explosive, out-of-nowhere thought into the realm: Doug Ford is really bad. I know, we're all shocked!

Got propane for my BBQ again so perhaps it's time to abandon politics before I let the idea that Christians think they're being persecuted in this country take root in my brain (for God's sakes)

Seems pretty telling of Toronto Police's lackadaisical attitude toward traffic enforcement that an officer feels comfortable publicly calling speed cameras a "fucking scam." www.thestar.com/news/gta/the...

Toronto politics is like "What if we gained popular support for tearing down every good proposal in the city?" "Great idea, what if instead we simply pretended to have legitimate grassroots support?"
So: the “Protect Bathurst / Dufferin” astroturf campaign run by Summerhill Market had videos of a guy talking about the neighborhood & RapidTO proposal. Real grassroots feel. Took a screenshot & put it into google image search. Guess what?

What an awful crew coming in
Gunn, Leslyn Lewis, Matt Strauss, Roman Baber, Andrew Lawton, are just some of the deplorables who won. WTF Canada! I'm guessing more people are conspiracy theorists than I imagined. Thanks X, and Mets!

I think Don Stewart losing is less important than Michelle Ferreri, but it does make me laugh; his victory was the canary-in-the-coal-mine for Trudeau's departure, and... that was pretty much it.

'The Crown lawyer said she couldn't speak for the government, but noted that those streets all have public transit routes along them.
But the premier didn’t say he was choosing roads with subways under them when he announced the removals — "He just picked them," [Judge] Schabas noted.'

A very simplified form of my considerations for my federal endorsement in Scarborough Southwest: the NDP (Fatima Shaban) and Green (Amanda Cain) candidates both talked about their struggles as lower income individuals. Literally no one else did.

The transit-oriented rental housing development at 777 Victoria Park is moving forward!
The TTC recently announced the Victoria Park station commuter parking lot will be permanently closed starting June 3, 2025 as our construction partners prepare to develop the site.

As long as we give one person in a car the same priority as 50 people in a bus, we will never solve our road congestion problem.

New bus-only lanes are coming soon to these busy Toronto streets. Will they help get TTC riders moving?
Consultations will begin later this month on proposed bus priority lanes for Dufferin and Bathurst Streets in time for 2026 FIFA Word Cup.

Hmm. Matt just called me. He's feeling pretty bummed that the numbers on our podcast aren't going up! And he's feeling a bit burnt out from political commentary, feeling like we've circled the drain a bit. The MuniciPals might be going on hiatus!

I still feel like I don't "Get" the whole "Doug Ford is going to jump ship to federal politics and take over from Poilievre" thing. I'm not saying it's beyond the realm of possibility, I just don't really see its apparent inevitability.
