Ford is acting like Toronto's de facto mayor. Candidates really should run against him too.

#ToPoli #OnPoli

Mayors act in the shadow of the premier, so why not lean into that this election? This means candidates and incumbents like Chow openly talking about the relationship with the province — that Ford can and will decide what’s possible for cities. It would force other candidates to react to that and explain how they will deal with Ford and his meddling.

It’s a chance to make this antagonistic relationship explicit, serving as voter education during a time when people are tuned into municipal politics a bit more than usual. There’s never enough of that though, so some political theatrics are needed, like perhaps debating a cardboard cut-out of Ford or something far more creative and original. Create some drama and make people pay attention.

That sounds downright Ford-like, doesn’t it?

If you live in Ontario, we're privileged to still have free access to flu vaccines & Covid boosters.

Get them! I just did!

Immunocompromised/high risk can go now & everyone else can book now for appointments after Oct 28!

Get them ASAP & you'll help make the holiday season safer for everyone 💪🏻

Thanks to the swift & significant backlash, the Ford government has backed off from their plan to end month-to-month leases. Still need to fight other parts of Bill 60 such as banning converting vehicle lanes to bike or bus lanes. #BikeTO #TTC #TOpoli #ONpoli www.torontotoday.ca/local/politi...

Ford government calls off consultations on ending indefinite leases for Ontario tenants

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.

And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

No more.

They are calling for a frost tonight & it seems likely that this time the city will be hit. So so I harvested the last of the veg & brought in what was drying.

I have a flock of hermit thrushes in my back yard, hopping around the raspberry cane, and eating wild grapes growing on my house. Here are 2 of the many. They have a much prettier colour than I could capture thru the door.

View thru a glass door of a small round bird sitting on the edge of a pot on the stairs. Behind it, anothers perches on the edge of a pot on the ground.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes

Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre

Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast)

Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

The Ford government already eliminated rent control for buildings built after 2018. They are now taking steps to eliminate rent control in Ontario altogether. This is shameful and disgusting given the affordability crisis that so many people are facing.

A great many of the (wonderful) stories about Ireland's (wonderful) UBI plan for artists tend to bury if not duck completely the hard cold fact that it was funded largely by Google's billion-euro settlement of tax-evasion charges.
