Haven't been on Bluesky much, but I've started a Movember fundraiser for Native Men's Residence. A small donation can go a long way for providing shelter to Indigenous men in Toronto.

Posting on Twitter has gotten me nowhere... I bet you'll be more generous 🥸

When the Prince Edward Viaduct was built in 1919, a subway platform was added underneath, even though it wasn't used for another half a century. Today, that platform connects Castle Frank station to Broadview, and the East End to the rest of Toronto. If only Metrolinx had that vision!

My letter to the editor in @torontotoday.ca: "When the opposition parties go after the premier, he sweats. When they chase each other’s voters, they only end up running in circles."

Food Banks Canada suggests some policies at the end of the piece. These have to be part of politicians' strategies for this trade war.

From @foodbankscanada.bsky.social and @pollara.bsky.social in @thehubcanada.bsky.social: Food insecurity over the past few months. This is what Trump’s tariffs are going to look like on the ground for Canadians.

Councillor Perks is entirely correct. Shown in purple are the newly designated avenues in #TorontoStPauls, which will now have less restrictive zoning, helping people from all backgrounds call Toronto home.

It's been 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. I attended an excellent lecture at McGill today. We will never forget. #HolocaustRemembranceDay.

La honte... les conseils ne cherchent qu'un financement équitable pour les transports scolaires. Ils méritent une réponse en français du gouvernement Ford.

The cost of building new transit in Toronto is going the wrong way – and fast!

My friend Chris and I shot two new reels this weekend. Part of our series on municipal policy issues in midtown Toronto. They'll be the first ones I ever post on Bluesky!
