Bill Simmons says “this Nuggets team is the best team I’ve seen in person in 5 years”. I assume that would include the 2019 Raptors Championship team. Let’s have a discussion about it. Everyone healthy, I’m obviously putting my money on the Raps. https://www.rawchili.com/2924258/

Just voted for Olivia Chow in advanced voting. FYI your voter card might have addresses listed way farther than necessary (WHY not the closest???) 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.
Yikes. This Toronto mayoral debate by CARP shows the importance of having a good moderator.
Matthews on his favorite player (2020): “I have so many, but I think the two that kind of stand out the most to me are Shane Doan. You know he was playing for the Coyotes, that’s when I first got into hockey … I’ve gotten to know him over the years, he’s such a good person.” https://www.rawchili.com/2923959/

This is equity and being an ally.
"Toronto’s public school board is no longer seeking parental permission for students to attend drag queen storytime events after parents at an elementary school raised concerns that the consent form implied the Pride activity was different from other in-school performances and posed some sort of risk to kids."

FASCINATING podcast with @thekeenanwire and Jennifer Keesmaat talking about how elections work and her take on some current candidates. She's very polite but brutal about taking down Bradford, Saunders, and Bailão. Wow. (in second half of episode)
(Also appropriately positive about specific policies and past good things from people, and Matlow's regrets and learnings about housing - she's not just trashing people)

‘Law and Order’ hits #Toronto in 2024 — should it? | The Star
https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/2023/06/06/law-and-order-hits-toronto-in-2024-should-it.html

In #toronto it seems you can catch a bus to anywhere. Imagine how long the 21:15 bus would take!
(Less than two hours, but let's not spoil the joke)

Next few days AQI for Toronto is forecasted to be same or worse.
And right now it's at edge of high risk. Tomorrow well into high risk, bordering on extreme health risk.
It must be so much worse for those closer.

The next 24 hours in Toronto.
This shows seven screenshots of the fire smoke cover over North Bay to Buffalo, centred on Toronto. Screenshots are 3 hours apart, from 9pm Wednesday through 3pm Thursday. Significant smoke and particulate matter over Toronto in that period, at dangerous levels. Please wear a mask.

1/ Bulletin from Toronto Public Health just shared by my child's daycare:
The air pollution affecting Toronto and surrounding areas continues to worsen, with Environment Canada predicting that Wednesday’s air quality will reach a level 7 and Thursdays a level 9, which is defined as high risk.
Pasted queer books covers making silhouettes of loving couples #Toronto #StreetArt #Graffiti #MastoArt


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.
Our kid's scheduled #baseball game tonight in #Toronto has just been cancelled due to poor air quality. The closest of the #Quebec #WildFires are something like 500km away. #ClimateDiary

Olivia Chow makes her case to be Toronto's next mayor on Metro Morning:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/olivia-chow-toronto-mayor-metro-morning-1.6868039
"With so many high profile and violent crimes in Toronto in the past year, public safety has become an important issue in the mayoral byelection. Many feel like the city is less safe, but how does that align with the actual numbers and data? Crime isn’t equal across the city but to discuss how best to deal with it, we should start with what is actually happening to decide the best ways to combat it."
https://www.thestar.com/podcasts/thismatters/2023/06/06/is-toronto-a-safe-city-the-data-versus-perception.html #News #Toronto #Crime #Safety
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.

#EnoughisEnough rally absolutely going off today in #Toronto 💥✊💥

Does anyone know of a jurisdiction that provides detailed information on their traffic signal timings? #Toronto provides this data for $120 per intersection (ouch), just wondering if there are other options out there.
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.

@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.
When I got there, the guy had three bookings and only one van. I got the keys because I hauled ass and happened to be first.
