He's spoken extensively about the kinds of people he wants staffing various city agencies and the folks across multiple administrations he's gone to for advice. It's all very encouraging and a sign that he might actually get shit done, even with the many challenges coming from the Trump regime.

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

Haha! Better barriers?! These worms on the ground? Oh please.🙄 here’s an idea, solid metal bollards, every 2 feet, embedded into the ground. I guarantee the city and cyclists they will be safe and drivers should they be so stupid or distracted would only hit them once.

Average new-vehicle manufacturer’s suggested retail prices hit an all-time high last month, reaching $52k, up 4.2% from last year.

(The best selling vehicle in the U.S. is a ford truck that sells for more than 65k)

All that “freedom” to be stuck in car dependency & traffic sure sounds expensive.

Average U.S. New Car Prices Top $50,000 For The First Time Ever

Prices for new vehicles have risen steadily in the last year as the pace of price increases has sped up in recent months, according to Cox Automotive’s Kelley Blue Book.

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Happy Thanksgiving, Toronto. I'm grateful for the TTC and all its hard-working staff delivering transit service which I rarely have to wait more than 5-10 mins for at all hours of the day. Even with all its faults, the TTC delivers one of the most usable transit services in all of North America.
