Anyway, check online first if there is a closer place for you. You can vote at any of the advanced voting locations. Remember to bring ID & your voting card if you got one.

The bad news: Toronto’s air quality is one again in the unhealthy range due to the forest fires. I’m staying indoors and away from the particulates and smoke.

The good news: I’m so impressed with Toronto folks. Multiple times over the last week or so I’ve seen strangers offering their subway seats to people who are disabled, elderly, pregnant, etc. before anyone even had a chance to ask for them.

There’s so much kindness in our world if you look for it.

Every Canadian politician running for office should have a serious and effective climate plan they WILL enact upon election, or they should not be considered real candidates prepared to meet our needs.
In Toronto's Mayoralty election, Josh Matlow is the only one with one.
If Olivia Chow wants to meet Toronto's needs, she needs to do the same. We need action. We need to put in plans, proposals to reduce emissions now.

Three great candidates though.

These are not “tourist” trams, but high-frequency transit vehicles. They get snagged in traffic sometimes, but generally they are speedy and reliable. Highly centralized system, with most lines passing close to P. del Duomo. They put legacy systems in #Toronto and New Orleans to shame.

#Toronto is a big place even by Canadian standards. But for the nearly 2.4 million daily trips made by car in 2016, the median trip length was just 5.5 km. That means half of car trips were LESS than 5.5 km - these are trips that, with the right infrastructure, could be made by other modes.

http://dmg.utoronto.ca/transportation-tomorrow-survey/tts-reports

A table from the 2016 Transportation Tomorrow Survey showing summary travel statistics for the City of Toronto. 5.1 million trips were made in 24 hours, 46% by driving, 11% as a passenger of a car, 27% by transit, 1% by GO train, and 13% by walking or cycling. The median trip length for driving was 5.5 km, 4.1 km for passengers, 6.5 km for transit, and 17.9 km for GO train.

@britt for what it's worth, the secret to a UHaul move is to CALL the store directly. Only the actual on-site agent can reserve a truck. The online web portal has absolutely zero guarantees.

On a move out from #toronto, my booking got cancelled and re-booked (morning of the move) from a store 5 minutes walk away, to a laundry repair shop an hour away.
