I can’t get over the fact that Toronto + Ontario shut down transit on one of the busiest weekends of the year. It’s contempt for the people who live here.
A> when subway is closed you really see how much work it does. Sardine buses. Imagine everyone in cars.
B> it’s bananas the TTC scheduled TWO separate downtown subway closures the 2nd weekend before Xmas. Busiest time. If not emergency why not wait till January doldrums? Punishing organization.

It’s great that the Finch LRT is finally opening. I just wouldn’t have invited the Grim Reaper to hold the plaque at the launch event.

It's an admittedly small sample, but, seeing cars on Harbord slow right the hell down at the intersections where they scraped away the asphalt before resurfacing, has been some of the best unintentional traffic calming I've seen while walking to work this last year. Better than speed bumps.

Christie Pits in Toronto is a symbol of the fight against fascism.
This is where people stopped the Nazis in 1933. The haters are trying to come to the park again.
On Sept 13 let's flood the park with people for a non-violent day of resistance to the race haters.

All landlords are bastards, but especially Starlight Investments.
My (lovely) octogenarian Italian landlord or her son will have to drag me out kicking and screaming before I willingly move again. I'm more than happy to help pay the taxes on their mortgage free house until the day I die.

When evictions are part of business plans, it’s time for more nonmarket housing & better renter protections www.thestar.com/real-estate/...
Canada’s largest private landlord often dramatically increases eviction applications after acquiring buildings, study finds
Starlight Investments filed 15 eviction applications per 100 units each year, while chain owned and managed properties filed seven applications per 100 units, a recent study found.

The only thing better than a protected bike lane, is a protected bike lane with artworks by local artists! The new Lansdowne Avenue cycle track murals are looking good. Shoutout to Street Art Toronto, Cycle Toronto and the City of Toronto Cycling and Pedestrian Projects Unit.

Pre-approved designs for city of Toronto garden suites. Skylights only in the bedroom, but it's at least something!
Building a backyard laneway or garden suite just got a little easier (and cheaper). Today the City of Toronto released a series of free, publicly-accessible, pre-approved and code-compliant building plans that anyone can use. Check them out at tinyurl.com/y6nbj8fw
