With the banning of automated speed cameras by the province, some residents fear the issue with speed on Parkside Drive has been forgotten.

Last night, Toronto Police were blitzing working delivery cyclists and ticketing them for parking on the road AND on the sidewalk (in front of food pick up spots on Yonge). 2 hours later one of the ticketed cyclists captured a pic of officers on a Timmies run while parked in a bike lane. No tickets.

Just saw a content-theft account reposted by someone here. A tip: if their bio says something like, “if you own the original, DM me,” you can tell they are happy to steal, mislead, and profit off other people’s work (and don’t want to be called out about it in public). Personally, I block on sight.

Please remember that EQAO exists because the Fraser Institute lobbied the Harris government for it.
The director of education policy for Fraser back then was Galen Weston's cousin, Claudia Hepburn.

![Dear [AG],
I'm curious what [State] is doing to combat this pervasive sexual harassment and abuse of primarily women and children:
https://defector.com/whos-responsible-for-elon-musks-idiot-chatbot-producing-on-demand-child-sexual-abuse-material
https://futurism.com/future-society/grok-violence-women
The industrial-scale generation and distribution of revenge porn and CSAM on Twitter/X is blatantly criminal by all involved, and in violation of both state and federal law.
I hope to see serious charges announced against Elon, Twitter/X management, Grok developers, and any individual users publicly sharing images of [State] residents. Anything less is tacit approval to continue this monstrous, illegal spree.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qnjqnno3fftf2wj4xfkxpt32/bafkreiefbqpox4q2s4vgdigpitfmoh73yxeljh6cogy3x2mmnesqeeqzri@jpeg)
