Remember back in December when that runner beat the new Line 6 LRT? This time Line 6 won. #TTC #Metrolinx #transit #toronto #TOPoli #Line6Finch

@evdelen@mstdn.ca The problem is that Toronto has design guidelines for new condos, that require a tall first floor of 4.5m min. This is probably to put in a loading dock for large transport trucks. 4 old small storefronts disappear and 1 large canvorous space is left in the new building. The character of the neighbourhood is lost, you end up with what happened at Yonge and Eglinton. #Toronto #Topoli #Onpoli #architecture

Definitely share @graphicmatt.com@bsky.brid.gy's disappointment in his latest column on how only one councillor - Gord Perks - stepped aside for this fall's election and another is running for Mayor. We really need term limits to allow for new blood at City Hall. #TOpoli #TOelxn26 www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... Matt Elliott: Gord Perks left ...

  1. It's operated by Parks and Rec, not the TTC, so to participate in Presto would require a separate operating agreement and given how bad of a deal Presto is for the city on the TTC, it'd render ferry operations so expensive as to not be operable.

  2. Fake tickets are a direct product of John Tory's administration's first outsourcing of online ticket purchases to Ritual, which was a wholly corrupt transaction in and of itself. In short, the Ritual CEO would purchase standard tickets through the City of Toronto's credit card purchasing portal on his points earning AMEX, the card with among the highest fees for the merchant (City of Toronto) then just re-sell them on his app at face value. He'd pocket the points and charge the city for the privilege!

Holyday is talking, but for the past week I have been reviewing every single Council vote over the last four years, and I am telling you I have had it up to fucking HERE with this fucking waste of atoms, he doesn't deserve an iota more of anyone's fucking attention, this fucking ghoul does nothing but eat up Council time and resources to concern-troll. I know it sounds like I might be just saying this because I am mentally ill and distraught, but I assure you this is how I feel about Holyday at the best of times. #TOcouncil #TOpoli

RE: https://mastodon.social/@GraphicMatt/117003649557836058 I remember when David Soknacki ran for mayor and proposed turning all public golf courses into public parks 😌✨ #TOPoli

Giles Gherson and the Board of Trade need to stop being cheerleaders for Doug Ford and his Progressive Conservative government when it comes to Billy Bishop Airport. If not allowing jets means the death of YTZ, then let it die! #TOpoli #ONpoli #cdnpoli #NoJetsTO www.thestar.com/business/tor... Toronto business community 'di...

Ahahaha this is rich. How dare politician A make political decision, says politician B. « The move [cancelling island airport expansion] blindsided Queen's Park. Ford and Carney, who have enjoyed warm relations since the prime minister succeeded Justin Trudeau in March 2025, had even shaken hands to informally seal the deal at the premier's Etobicoke home.” "It's Billy Bishop for Alto, that was always the understanding," said one insider, referring to the federal government's proposed high-speed rail line linking Toronto to Quebec City. » — Toronto Star #TOPoli #ONPoli #CDNPoli

In my inbox, from #toronto mayor Olivia Chow: "With the airport expansion no longer moving forward, I have submitted an urgent motion to City Council with Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik to demand that the Province return the City’s land at Little Norway Park and Toronto Islands (including Hanlan’s Point Beach). This land belongs to the people of Toronto." 🎉 #TOpoli #ONpoli #cdnPoli #cdnPolitics

imagine 55-60 days/year with temperatures above 30C. (current average: 14 days/year.) that's what climate change will likely bring to southern Ontario by 2080.

current tree canopy favours wealthy areas. so planting should be focused in neighbourhoods with few trees.

while we're at it: replace that awful Astral street furniture with actual shade at public transit stops.

Good news: the federal Minister of Transport issued a statement which reads as a ‘no’ on expanding Billy Bishop airport. Comically, it was only posted to the white supremacist site. So unless you have an account you can’t read it. 1/2 #TOPoli #ONPoli #CDNPoli

2/2 A Toronto MP linked the X post in email to constituents and Councillor Matlow posted a screenshot on BlueSky. So here’s that. The Minister’s staff posted to BlueSky 3 days ago but haven’t posted this yet. #TOPoli #ONPoli #CDNPoli

Holy crap. The Carney government actually listened to public input and all the calls to Toronto's Liberal MPs. #ToPoli #OnPoli #CdnPoli RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:5f7q3li5qm3ysjixijmuwjxo/post/3mrgl7gxdls23

Steve Munro does what neither the TTC nor influencers seem to be doing: examining streetcar lines by segment to find slowdowns to focus on, down to individual bad intersections (looking at you, King & Cherry). https://stevemunro.ca/2026/07/20/how-slow-is-my-streetcar-i/ #TOPoli #Transit

"Billy Bishop expansion could threaten #Toronto’s $3B harbour cleanup … longer runway could trap pollutants and undermine multibillion-dollar project to keep sewage out of Lake Ontario … having more pollutants in more stagnant water could increase the risk of disease spreading through birds or the air. … The Ford gov't plans to designate the area a “special economic zone,” which would exempt the project from … policies in a bid to speed up development." https://www.torontotoday.ca/local/city-hall/billy-bishop-expansion-threaten-torontos-harbour-12542728 #topoli
