It's weird being the second trans woman nominated by the ONDP while there's active attacks against my community south of the border. I have friends who are at risk of losing healthcare.
It also sort of feels like I shouldn't talk about it, else I'll be seen as "the trans one"

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.
Safe bike-lanes mean business.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on making public transit accessible: "I think the way that you move around the city, it influences the way in which you see the city. Too often if you're riding around only in a car with tinted windows, the only New Yorker you might see is a reflection of yourself."
Zohran Mamdani, the Internet’s Mayor
Mere months ago, New York’s mayoral front-runner was polling right next to “Someone Else.” He spoke to WIRED about building a social media machine, Big Tech capitulation, and learning from Eric Adams.

The idea that neighbourhoods have always had and shall always have just one kind of housing is ridiculous. Neighbourhoods thrive when we have an abundance of housing choices. If you only "see single-family houses" in your area, it's time to build more options. kitchener.citynews.ca/2025/09/12/n...

"As Premier Doug Ford continues to call for bail reforms that would see more people incarcerated while awaiting trial, provincial jails are more deadly, more violent and arguably more dysfunctional than they have ever been."
Ontario’s jail conditions are inhumane and disgraceful, judges say. Criminals are serving shorter sentences as a result
As the premier calls for bail reforms that would see more people locked up while awaiting trial, Ontario’s jails are “in a state of growing crisis.”

Friendly reminder that in Kitchener Waterloo ADDING SUPPLY IS WORKING.
I've been saving ads for a few months to show this progression.
Growing incentives lead to lower rents, and that's exactly what's happening!!

A family member passed on Thursday. I wanted to start Pride Month off with a bang, but I have more important matters to attend to. As a result I'll be taking a bit of a break.

A former French military base, Vauban is a thriving neighbourhood of 5,500 residents connected to Freiburg town centre by bus and light rail. Built in the late 1990s as a radical experiment in low-car living, it forgoes virtually all on-street parking in favour of active, green, and social spaces. 🧵
