Constant intimidation (from 2024)

Potentially big times for the Windsor-based shirt brand I found a while back that sells these tongue-in-cheek shirts for locals

Dunno if folks would be interested, but this site provides old school, all on one page baseball boxscores (including attendance) during the regular season. Not perfect, but fun to check out once in a while www.thebaseballcube.com/content/news...

McCleary Park last summer: City workers driving a pick up truck through the outfield in order to lock the washrooms just as our softball game ended

Oh man. Wow. I left so many brain cells at those places. So much fun.

Shawn Micallef: How Toronto can take a lesson from Van Halen, and learn to sweat the small stuff Anybody who travels this city knows large vehicles are routinely in parks. It’s disrespectful to Torontonians, a scandalous waste of money, and intrusive to those trying to enjoy the outdoor

🤘🏼I wrote about sweating the small stuff. The city parks dept answered city council’s request to look into destructive practices w a shrug. That’s not good enough. Total park reform is needed & needs to be an election platform. If Chow passes on it, someone else surely will. Pls read & share. 🙏🏼🤘🏼

Downtown Windsor in the 90's was a blast - so much action on Ouellette St.!

So just to be clear, all taxpayers will pay for traffic calming instead of fining the people that speed and leaving everyone else alone. We like this for a policy change? Are we so afraid of going after the actual rule breakers that we would rather put it on the back of everybody?

Shawn Micallef: There’s a good reason why some might think Toronto’s best days are behind it. Here’s how we change their minds The best days for the city lie ahead of it, but there are things we have to get right to make sure that happens.

The Toronto Star’s City Report Card survey suggests six in 10 Torontonians believe that the city’s best days are in the past.

Given the challenges Toronto faces right now, it’s an understandable position, but it’s wrong. My column on teenage Toronto. The future is bright if we….(pls read n share).

Ford and Sarkaria out there convincing people it's the seven* people on the right who are causing congestion, not the three people on the left 🤷

*eight if you include me

Shawn Micallef: Doug Ford’s attack on speed cameras shows how good politics can make for lousy public policy The premier’s comments on Tuesday should be a moment for Ontarians to think whether the province is a place of law and order or where vigilantes can influence government policy.

Doug Ford’s attack on speed cameras shows how good politics can make for lousy public policy

#Opinion from @shawnmicallef.bsky.social

Remember last year when George and Karen Amaro reached out to Doug Ford urging him to not move forward with his anti-bike lane legislation because bike lanes might have saved their daughter Alex's life? And he never responded?

I did and I will submit a driving complaint. Like you said, I also know it won't do anything at all.

Welcome back to Toronto, where drivers chase you and your gf down and challenge you to a fight while their psycho dog hangs out the window. Thanks to our provincial govt for stoking hate. I'd report to the police, but they're all at High Park ticketing rolling stops. What a wonderful place to live.

I didn't spend much time taking photos this time, but it's worth including a clip from my previous visit in 2022. It's insane that Ford and Sarkaria want to prevent any progress toward more scenes like this in Toronto.

I don't see a return to posting like I used to, but Paris reignited my love for urban cycling. So many options, so much less aggression. Hard to come home to SUV-clogged, angry Toronto. Such a shame our govt is working to undo the progress we've made here. Sarkaria and Ford have such small minds.

We need a charter city status of some sort for more local independence from the province.

Bike Lanes: 2 - Ford Nation: 0 - Spacing Toronto In an intriguing aside a third of the way into Justice Paul Schabas’ extraordinary decision (issued yesterday) in Toronto’s bike lane war with Premier Doug Ford, he reveals how, about a month ago, he ...

Ford government’s attempt to remove Toronto bike lanes is unconstitutional, judge rules The provincial government had argued that road space dedicated to cyclists was adding to congestion. A Superior Court judge said the government’s decision would risk the lives of cyclsits.

#Breaking: Doug Ford government's attempt to remove Toronto bike lanes unconstitutional, judge rules

The idea that somehow people speeding and getting a fine for speeding is anything but their own fault is crazy! The whole speed camera discourse totally ignores. The drivers actually need to be responsible when they're operating a dangerous vehicle on public roads.

Canadians bombarded with rightwing content on Musk’s X ahead of election FT analysis finds network of social media accounts attacking Liberal leader Mark Carney

“A Financial Times analysis of more than 350,000 posts on X related to the election, gathered since the snap poll was announced in March, revealed a network of co-ordinated accounts pushing content to boost Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and tarnish his counterpart, the Liberal’s Mark Carney.”

This was top notch. I came away extremely confident in Canada's chance at a stronger future after listening to @mark-carney.bsky.social

Intelligence - political, emotional and economic. Full support here.

"A nation whispers,"We always knew that he'd go free.""

Boycotting the grocery store until they start buying an equivalent volume of groceries from me

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Headline in the Wall Street Journal — “The Dumbest Trade War In History.”

Turns out the Wall Street Journal was understating. #TrumpsTradeWar
