Definitely share @graphicmatt.com'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 Toronto council with a bang. Why won’t his long-serving colleagues ever leave?

With Toronto councillors serving for decades and Doug Ford blocking key reforms, term limits may be the only way to get new voices at city hall.

Meanwhile, Toronto hasn't held #OpenStreetsTO - their equivalent to NYC's Summer Streets - since 2022. If Toronto were to bring it back, it needs to be every Sunday from May to September. Not just two Sundays a year as what happened in past years. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli

For 18 year now we have only had three Summer Streets events in Manhattan. People definitely want more. How many more? Watch to find out! @openplans.org @nyc.streetsblog.org www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JU-...

One shortcoming of the Church Street Pedestrianization Pilot is high security costs. My latest blog post makes the case for why candidates for this October's election must not only support pedestrian streets, but also call out security costs. #WalkTO #TOpoli www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/08/call...

Mayor Olivia Chow explains the "fringe group" of Torontonians opposed to Jets at Billy Bishop airport. #Toronto #ToPoli #urbanism

A new bike share station utility map has been making the rounds lately which shows a potential problem for Bike Share Toronto. Many stations north of Bloor routinely see no bikes while many downtown or close to the Waterfront see no docks. #BikeTO #TOpoli jdstrapp.pythonanywhere.com/BikeShareUti...

Shopify CEO Tobias Lutke is Canada's Elon Musk! He proposed awful policy ideas such as giving the wealthy more votes and excluding seniors who get pensions, as well as supported jets at YTZ. These tech bros must NEVER be trusted with political power! #shame #cdnpoli www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

A tech billionaire floated the idea of curtailing the right to vote. That wasn’t even the worst part

The Shopify founder’s endorsement of a bad idea suggests there is far more work to do to protect democracy from a surge of anti-democratic thinking.

🛩️ v 🏖️ People who aren’t used to winning, won. At the same time, people who often win lost for once. The losers are throwing tantrums. Winners should take the win to heart because it truly belongs to them & no one else. My column on this remarkable grassroots mobilization in @thestar.com

Shawn Micallef: The Billy Bishop expansion pause was a real win for the people. But don’t put away those No Jets signs just yet

The federal government’s decision to pause the Billy Bishop expansion means that people who often win lost for once — are taking it badly.

First Toronto mayoral poll with Chris Alexander suggests his candidacy hurts Bradford

The entry of former federal cabinet minister Chris Alexander into the Toronto mayoral race appears to have chipped away at the support for Brad Bradford, a new survey suggests.

Warren Kinsella is REALLY mad at rightwinger Chris Alexander for daring to run for Mayor alongside Kinsella’s favourite rightwinger Brad Bradford. 🤷🏼🤭🤷🏼

The South adjoining part of the Railpath towards Bloor GO station is open. This is not a drill! This is not a drill! #bikeTO

Councillor Gord Perks ends by saying he has "just one quick little three-word piece of advice" for colleagues: "Capitalism is trash." He gets a standing ovation.

Fun fact of the day 🙂 Toronto-East York District is 16% of Toronto's land area - but it contains 39% of the 'length' of existing bikeways & 78% of all daily cycling trips in Toronto start in the area based on 2022 TTS trip data. #BikeTO

Oh fuck off, Holyday! There's NO EXCUSE for the Province to not return the lands associated with the proposed Billy Bishop Airport expansion now that the Carney government stopped it. Yet another reason for #Etobicoke Centre residents to vote @thismomroars.bsky.social. #TOpoli #ONpoli #NoJetsTO

Matt Elliott@graphicmatt.com · last wk.

Mayor Olivia Chow's motion to demand Doug Ford give the city back the land the province took for island airport expansion CARRIES 25-1.

Ford and his sore loser ministers are having a very bad awful terrible week because they lost the airport expansion, dropped further in the polls and have been exposed as grifters partying on the tax payer dime. It will only get worse. OShow Scandal Panel Friday 😉 #Cndpoli #Onpoli

Nice to be back home after two weeks in #Kyrgyzstan. Landed in Pearson where jets belong. NOT at Billy Bishop Airport no matter how many temper tantrums the Ford government and his Toronto Board of Trade lackeys cause. #TOpoli #ONpoli #cdnpoli #NoJetsTO #travel

Ford government won’t return Billy Bishop Airport land to City of Toronto

‘If this is how they’re going to treat bigger projects, I don’t think you’ll get much built,’ says Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria

“A big part of getting out of this slow tailspin is clarifying & limiting the mandate of the Toronto Port Authority. The federal agency should leave the question of expansion to people who are actually elected and accountable,” writes @graphicmatt.com www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... #onpoli #cdnpoli

Matt Elliott: A Billy Bishop expansion has been grounded — yet again. Time to end the dogfight over the island airport once and for all

There’s time now for a real consultation about what the public wants Toronto’s waterfront to be.
