Brad Bradford says he opposed a new shelter because the community consultation hadn't been done.
Funny, he didn't care what the community shouted loudly about 540 Cedervale Avenue.

Washington has discovered a brilliant financial strategy. Cut benefits for people who need them, cut taxes for people who don't, and borrow the difference from people who aren't old enough to vote.

Zelensky, this morning on Russia's latest attack: "six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old"

"If there is to be any hope that the democracies, and especially what was once the greatest of them all, will retain or regain their moral compass, we must all keep shouting from the rooftops: “This is a lie!”; “That is a lie!”; “The leader of the United States is lying!”
Max Hastings on fire. "The US has fallen into the hands of the most dishonest and venal leader in its history."

New in PN: Who wants to visit an authoritarian America?
"Data shows that the United States is on its way to being as unpopular a tourist destination as Russia, and for roughly the same reasons. In both countries, a tourist who runs afoul of government officials might spend the next six months in a freezing warehouse without legal counsel, eating moldy bologna sandwiches and praying that they won’t die of disease, neglect, or just an old-fashioned beating by the guards." publicnotice.co/p/trump-us-t…

Tillis. Not holding back. Also saw @JohnCornyn just tweet “Lindsey would be appalled.” But key question…what can/is the senate going to do about it?
Beyond irresponsible. What part of enforcing a law passed 86-11 by the Senate does the President and his advisors not understand? It’s unconscionable that this administration is capitulating to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians every single day. If the President wants to actually bring down energy prices, he can do it by solving the Iran problem, not by doing a solid for Vladimir Putin.

Why is our marathon always reported as a road shutdown, a nuisance, a calamity - instead of celebrating it?
Toronto Waterfront Marathon will shut down these major roads this weekend blogto.com/city/2026/10/toro…

BREAKING: Belgium will supply Ukraine with 10 F-16 fighter jets by the end of the year.
I think I like everything @acoyne proposes here.
My latest, on the need for radical tax reform, and what it might look like. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

As an ER doctor I can't stress enough how effective Mayor Chow has been to eliminate delays reaching 911. When she came to office it was up to 26 minutes. It's now down to 3 seconds. 3 seconds. That's effective leadership.
Is this a grass roots movement against Bradford's water privatization policy?

Amazing. When I was with @DermArch we offered both local councillors to turn this into a park over 10 years ago but they refused as they thought our 12 storey building was too high. (plan was to put the parking on our site)
A Toronto Parking Authority surface lot is slated to become a new gathering place in Liberty Village, with a 4,900m² park planned for 34 Hanna Avenue. urbantoronto.ca/news/2026/10…
Please @stephaniebowman can you confirm you are not going to extend rent controls? They kill new rental supply. One cannot be pro housing and at the same time recommend rent controls.
Clearly the kid who has now dropped out got to her on this. This is why I could not support that housing initiative. Pro rent controls and anti developer.
Homeownership is out of reach for too many young people and families.
Too many people are spending more of their paycheque just to keep up with their rent or mortgage and homelessness is rising.
Every Ontarian deserves an affordable place they can call home and to stay safely housed. Here is my plan to deliver on that promise.

You cannot seriously run to become Premier of this province and support rent control if you think you are pro housing. It kills investment in new rental supply and degrades the existing stock. You have ruled yourself out of contention sorry.
