Hey BMO Field and Exhibition Place Any plans on installing some basic bike infrastructure at BMO field? This happens week after week and nothing changes. #TFClive

Morning, Tymofiy. As a Black American reporter who has covered uprisings (“riots”) in the US and lives in Ukraine covering the war, I think I can help. We're supposed to meet in person (hope you can make time this week), but your tweet requires a thoughtful response, my friend🧵

Heard that in Montreal, on key construction projects, at 5 am every morning an inspector checks the site to make sure pedestrian passage is fully safe and accessible, and construction company has to fix any issues before 7 am. Can only dream of such a thing in Toronto.

.Air Canada are you guys serious with this? I'm calling to reschedule a flight but you "can't connect me with a representative due to a high volume of calls" and then you just hang up? This feels like a parody of bad customer support. Can someone please reach out to me? TY

The cruelty An israeli guard executed an autistic Palestinian named Eyad Hallaq. The israeli guard shot him in the leg, chased him to a garbage room, then fired 3 more bullets in his chest with an M16. Eyad's mother screams as the israeli court lets her son's killer walk free

I want you to listen. These are the stories of African asylum seekers who are being forced to encamp outside 129 Peter St. while all levels of government argue over jurisdiction for their care. Momodou, Chamsah, and Asuman speak to the conditions: cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

New mortgage math is brutal. Say you buy a $1m house with $200k down at a 7% rate ($800k mortgage). Over the first three years you pay $193k ($5,322/mo.) After those $193k of payments your $800k mortgage is now at $774.5k. You paid $166k in interest, $25.5k in principle.

RIP this 69 year old woman. These rinky-dink simple traffic lights might pass in the 1950's, but not the 2020's. The most common way pedestrians are struck in Canada, very often seniors killed - left turn on a green, driver of a pick up truck. toronto.citynews.ca/2023/07/12/wom…

The last time the Bank of Canada's policy rate was this high was in 2001 The average price of a Toronto home then was $251K The average price of a Toronto home today is $1.2M

Disney+ removed both seasons of a show I’d staffed on from the platform, ensuring that I’ll never make another dollar in residuals from it, or be able to watch it again. Mind you, the show gave them 11 Emmy Noms last year. What’s “realistic” about that?

While Doug Ford pampers spa users, our school kids fend for themselves. The premier will spend $400 million to build a parking garage for spa users, while scrimping on basic educational materials in Ontario’s schools. #Opinion by Linda McQuaig trib.al/q6FFMtt

Day after day the #504King waits for multiple light cycles to cross Bay St as drivers continually block the box. There’s never any enforcement. None. It’s just something else we now have to deal with as TTC riders on a supposed “transit way?” TTC Customer Service Toronto Police Olivia Chow

This is a war crime. Where is the international outrage and condemnation? Where are the calls for sanctions? Or are those strictly reserved for Ukraine?

Amsterdam’s plan to remove 11,200 parking spaces from its streets by the end of 2025 is even more inspiring when we realize the kind of people-places that are possible where cars used to be. Example — #Amsterdam’s Elandsgracht between 2014 & 2019, via Thomas Schlijper’s great pics.

Time for a Public Enquiry into the #EglintonCrosstownDisaster - Years overdue - $3 billion over budget (that’s nutty!) - 98% complete with no open date - corridor remains a construction mess, unsafe in key areas - no accountability for the failure In a city that urgently needs

Toronto sits in a basin surrounded by the Greenbelt, a system of woods and wetlands that perform a crucial role of absorbing water. The Ontario government recently voted to open them up to development, paving them over, giving rainfall nowhere to go. It's only gonna get worse.

Montreal: not beholden to the tunnel diggers and the automakers. So, this:
