I don't know much about Toronto politics, admittedly, but if the jackass CEO of Shopify is endorsing someone (and he is), vote for the other candidate.

Kids should be able to watch sports without being bombarded by alcohol and gambling ads. We shouldn't be normalizing addictive products during family entertainment. Let kids enjoy the game without the constant marketing. cbc.ca/news/investigates/gam…

If you live outside of Toronto, the Ontario government is blowing $50 million of you tax dollars on ripping bike lanes out of Toronto. This is money that could be spent on keeping your local hospital's ER open or fixing your local school's roof.

Work to restore vehicle lanes on Bloor Street West was scheduled to begin tonight but was halted by protesters. Make no mistake: these bike lanes are coming out. We have a clear mandate and we will deliver.

Opinion: Alexander Ovechkin used his fame to back Putin. We must remember that

The NHL star’s appearance in an ad for Putin’s party reinforces the Russian leader’s attempt to tie patriotism to loyalty to himself

$48 million to destroy bike lanes in Toronto that could have been spent on healthcare, housing and public transit instead. Why are taxpayers across Ontario paying for this? #onpoli

After years of fighting, the Ford government is pushing ahead with re-designing many kilometers of Toronto streets to remove bike lanes. The province says it will get people moving. Cyclists believe it will make them less safe. ctvnews.ca/toronto/article/f…

The Science Centre’s roof has survived heavy winter snow storms and now a violent rain and hail storm. This roof continues to have more integrity than the Ford government. A team of us are working on ways to reopen this architectural masterpiece to the public again.

Notebooks on Doug Ford's Staples portal: $2.51. Retail price: 79 cents. Exercise books teachers bought in June for $7.49: now $17. This gov't locked 80,000 teachers into one American-owned company. So much for Doug Ford’s tough talk. Cancel the deal. Let teachers buy local.

A close family friend lost his feet in Kandahar while protecting the embedded Canadian journalist from Calgary who lost her life there. He still carries the names of all the Canadians who died that day on a bracelet around his wrist. Canadians didn't fight and die in Afghanistan because al-Qaeda flew planes into the Canadian Wheat Board HQ in Winnipeg. Just to be clear.

Sooooo lemme get this straight, they charged us for hotel stays cause they were too lazy to commute to and from downtown? But yet forced people to do those same commutes by getting rid of work from home policies and forcing them back in office? Is that right?

NEW: Three Peel Region PC MPPs charged taxpayers nearly $50,000 between them to stay in Toronto hotel rooms, despite living within driving distance of Queen’s Park — expenses that the premier’s office said will partially be paid back. globalnews.ca/news/11965872/… #onpoli

I know Jays suck right now, but I built this anyway: jays.baby It's a daily stats panel that uses Fangraphs, MLB Stats and Savant data to show a ton of interesting information. I'm constantly adding new things too. I made this for the people, so RTs appreciated.

I’m old enough to remember when the @BlueJays Saturday Salute included bringing the service member out on the field & having a member of the #BlueJays present them with a jersey to honour them. Retweet if you wish they’d reinstate the tradition. #BlueJays50 #BlueJays

This is a government that feels they are invincible and can do whatever they want. I see it every day in the legislature. They’ve forgotten about the people they serve and are screwing up just about everything they touch. It’s time for change. thestar.com/politics/provinc…

Doug Ford’s cabinet approved $28.9-million jet

Ford confirmed that Tuesday, insisting the issue was "a no-brainer" for ministers because the aircraft was needed in a province as vast as Ontario.
