“…there is no empirical evidence that ties bike lanes as the sole source of congestion, (nor) is there data that shows removing bike lanes help with better traffic flow…removing bike lanes leads to less safe roads for cyclists and pedestrians.” Contact Doug Ford 416-325-1941 premier@ontario.ca

What Ford’s own staff said about bike lanes: Internal records show provincial bureaucrats refuted Doug Ford’s arguments before he ordered Toronto bike lanes removed via @thestar.com

Canada is hosting England at BMO Field for the WXV Global Series tonight. It features the top 12 national teams in international women’s rugby. Of course I am here. I am very sporty. Let’s go, Canada!

Today in Grade 3 S: Why does it matter who gets elected? Me: Because that person makes decisions for a few years. S: Like what? Me: Doug Ford is the leader of ON. He decided to remove Toronto bike lanes. S: WHAT?! But bike lanes keep you safe! It’s official. Doug Ford is dumber than an 8-year old.

Doug Ford looking like a dimwitted goon from central casting. He’s glaring at the person taking his picture - probably a nurse, teacher, cyclist, child with autism, person on ODSP, library user, or someone else for whom he has complete and utter disdain.

Nice to see Toronto police providing safe passage for people using mobility aids. Just kidding. They’re protecting the construction crew ripping out bike lanes in a gross overreach by Doug Ford that flies in the face of logic, public safety, and common sense. #DefundThePolice #DeposeDougFord

They then called in a “public order” unit and blocked off the whole street causing congestion. Apparently you need an overkill amount to intimidate people with a cane and wheelchair.

Starting my day on transit with a weird dude walking up to people and saying, “Telepathy is a commodity,” while staring into our souls with laser beam eyes. Is this the dangerous Toronto Brad Bradford is scared of? Because no one on this streetcar seems even a little bit bothered.

Ralph Wiggum chuckled on the school bus and says, “I’m in danger.” It’s how I picture Brad Bradford taking public transit if he ever deigned to do so.

Can someone ask Doug Ford why he changed his mind about keeping bike riders safe in the city that didn’t choose him to be the mayor?

Jenny Lee Shee@jennyleeshee.bsky.social · 5d ago

Doug Ford is spending $48M ripping out bike lanes. It will not improve drive times. It will get people injured and killed. Hurl this man to the trash heap where he belongs. Throwing him in jail would also be acceptable but we all know Ontario cops will never hold him accountable for anything.

Doug Ford stands beside a sign that says DESTRUCTION AHEAD.

I just had this conversation with someone who lives outside Toronto but read a headline about the dangers of the city. I don’t want a fearmonger for mayor. I want someone who cares about people and finding solutions other than hiring more cops to solve the real problems facing Toronto residents.

Clare Blackwood@clareblackwood.bsky.social · 6d ago

I'm betting that a lot of people who respond to polls saying they feel more unsafe in Toronto now are conflating the feeling of "I am physically unsafe and under threat in my environment" with "there was a homeless man on the sidewalk on my way to the Eaton Centre and I don't want to see that."

The Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address, illustrated by Nicole Neidhardt. Let us bring our minds together as one as we send greetings and thanks to each other as people. In these gathered faces, we see that the cycles of life continue.

THE HAUDENOSAUNEE THANKSGIVING ADDRESS Let us bring our minds together as one as we send greetings and thanks to each other as people. In these gathered faces, we see that the cycles of life continue. Our Mother the Earth, for she gives us everything that we need for life. The waters of the world that nurture life for all beings and all the fish life in the water. The vast fields of plant life-the berries, the trees, and the medicine herbs of the world. The edible plants we harvest from the garden, especially the Three Sisters. The beautiful animal life of the world and all the birds who move and fly about over our heads. The powers we know as the Four Winds, who purify the air we breathe and help to bring the change of seasons. Our grandfathers the Thunder Beings who live in the West with their lightning and thundering voices. Our eldest brother, the Sun; our oldest Grandmother, the Moon: and the Stars who are spread across the sky like jewelry. The enlightened Teachers who have come to help throughout the ages. We now turn our thoughts to the Creator or Great Spirit, and send greetings and thanks for all the gifts of Creation. Now our minds are one.

I lead a very fortunate life. I’m grateful for so many things every single day. HOWEVER. There are mornings - like this one - when being a clumsy person in a teeny tiny home has more than a few bruisy disadvantages. Happy #Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating. Stay safe out there.

Former staff say he drove them to tears. Some colleagues call him a bully. But Brad Bradford is betting that this election day, enough Torontonians will be as angry as he seems to be. New from @royinori.bsky.social, a portrait of the man who really wants to be mayor. thelocal.to/brad-bradfor...
