Tonight I allowed 3 hours to travel 127km from Toronto's East End to Jarvis ON. After 2 hrs on Lakeshore I had gone 7kms and still not on the Gardiner. I missed my work engagement. And we paid property taxes to take down the Gardiner! #TorontoTraffic #LeadershipMatters

As Toronto drivers grow more frustrated with traffic congestion, it becomes more clear that the three root causes are #1 poorly executed construction projects, #2 just bad driving practices, #2 and this…2 hands in the phone while driving… Do better Toronto!

Social Media Obesity and Loneliness | Galya Westler | TEDxStanleyPark youtu.be/2rbKskuyCE0?si=wJPo… via @YouTube My friend and colleague Galya Westler recently did this Ted Talk which captures exactly why I detest the obsession too many people have with social media. Check it out.

#Toronto has removed 320 overnight parking spots in the Beach community, creating a #parkingcrisis. @BradMBradford made the motion to reduce parking in the Beach against City staff advice. Why did he do this? Find out more & help fix the problem bit.ly/45Or8rN

I'm not sure that many could describe this issue as eloquently as @spaikin has here. Worthy of sharing. This reminds me why I need to try harder to resist reading the ramblings of the often ill-informed that follow an interesting or informative post on social media.

How a birthday tweet revealed the ugliness of social media

Simply noting that former premier Kathleen Wynne turned 70 whipped up all sorts of nastiness and incivility.

#Cosori recalled my model of air fryer - it catches fire! To get a replacement we had to prove we cut the power cord. Instead of a quick replacement, almost 3 mths later they say it's out of stock, but offered a lessor model. #fail #Cosori. Warning - don't buy their products!

So misleading. It doesn’t take much digging to discover private executive health clinics have been available in Ontario long before this Gov’t. And what’s wrong with having choices?

Is it just me, or are there way more poor drivers on the roads? Not stopping at stop signs, and failing to use turn signals seem to be the top 2 offences in my neighbourhood. Why are the police not ticketing these drivers, especially in school zones? #tps #baddrivers #toronto

Got notice of air fryer recall from Cosori - had to cut the cord & send photos to prove it so I can get my replacement as quickly as possible. Just been told it will be 6-8 weeks more before I get it. Crappy customer service. Beware of Cosori appliances! #cosori #DoBetter

The judge who ruled it illegal for a municipality to take down a homeless shantytown doesn’t live anywhere near it and doesn’t have to live with the consequences of his ridiculous decision. torontosun.com/opinion/colum…

Why won’t @fordnation and some others in cabinet talk to @TVO? tvo.org/article/why-wont-dou… #onpoli #media #journalism

Why won’t Doug Ford talk to TVO?

Some Tory ministers have been willing to give us their time. Others haven’t — including the premier.

There are blitzes in Toronto to call out and ticket car and truck drivers for bad behaviour and driving practices. Why are there not similar blitzes for cyclists who are also vehicles and who sometimes drive poorly. Come on @TrafficServices, it's time to step up!

I walk out of my building in downtown Toronto, and immediately I am facing off against a guy riding an E bike on the sidewalk next to a dedicated and protected bike lane. He’s on the sidewalk riding towards me as if I am in his way. This is an all too common occurrence in T.O.
Yesterday I had a prescription faxed in to my local Shoppers DM. My doc had to re-fax it because SDM claimed they never got it. And got disconnected twice on phone with them. Then they took over 2 hrs to put pills in a bottle. Epic fail SDM. #shoppersdrugmartfail
