OR NOT.
And what should be kept, and might be lost.
Time well spent joining this first of my Toronto Jane's Walk for 2025.
I brought my JW sign, holding it up from start til end.

Dufferin Street, Toronto, may be getting the desperately needed bus lanes that have been planned for more than 5 years, subject to Council approval.
I hope this wrecks Doug Ford's sleep forever.

A few good points here about how Doug Ford's main objections to Donald Trump appear to be his targets not his methods or what passes for thoughts.

Doug Ford, channelling his inner Donald Trump, vows to appeal injunction preventing removal of Toronto bike lanes, because F- cyclists and data, right!
City of Toronto will require landlords to obtain renovation permits to reduce renovictions starting July 31!
One thing that makes me nervous about this whole thing is Doug Ford could invoke the notwithstanding clause to endanger cyclists in the event the charter challenge decision doesn't go his way. 😡 Sure hope I am wrong about this. #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

The police occupy a privileged position in society. The Toronto Police Association enjoys all the power of their role, but wants none of the responsibility to act in an impartial and non-partisan manner. They appear to be what their critics say they are: ideologues and bullies. #TOpoli

The city of #toronto is requesting feedback on protests. If you #biketo please take some time to fill this out as the cycling community in Toronto has been protesting #bill212 for months now.

Toronto District School Board (TDSB) proposes closing pools and cutting music instructors (aka certified teachers) to make a $70M budget short fall.
The province has reduced per student funding by $1300/student/year since Doug Ford came into power, not accounting for inflation.
For those in Toronto Danforth, there's a virtual emergency public meeting with the Trustee, Sara Ehrhardt and the MPP Peter Tabuns on Thursday May 1 at 7:30pm.

Maintaining enough perspective at the moment to be a little bummed for some of the sincerely good candidates getting basically rinsed by what this election turned into. Even locally: Man, that's a lot of talent. Someone elect Bhutila Karpoche and Norm di Pasquale to things already before they get bored of running.
Great to hear some additional tunnels such as Kipling to Islington and Keele to Dundas West now have cell service. However, it would be great to find out how the remaining tunnel cell service roll out will happen. #TOpoli #TTC www.thestar.com/business/rog...

@mattwelke would love automated bollards to keep personal automobiles off transit streets #topoli
