I urge people to watch and share this because in just 6 minutes this young Jewish girl nails down what politicians have failed to grasp for generations.
Quite brilliant.

A VERY good morning to everyone in Toronto who cycles: to work, to school, for fun.
Last night we elected a true cyclist as our Mayor - not some swashbuckler, but a true cyclist.
After years of near despair, I am officially allowing myself to expect great things. It is time!

BREAKING: We just fully shut down Senator Joe Manchin's keynote address.
He is shoving a 2,000,000,000 cubic-foot-per-day fracked gas pipeline down our throats.
Manchin is not a moderate. Manchin is an ecocidal millionaire. We must resist him with all we've got. And we will.

Does @anabailaoto really think dusting off the disgraced Stud Muffin will do anything but underline how she's in the pocket of the old guard and would be easy pickins for @fordnation? And the sex-mayor, er, ex-mayor looks like he's been chomping on gummies since leaving office.

We have had a Conservative dominated Council and Conservative Mayors for 12 years. They inherited a city government with an operating surplus and have left it essentially bankrupt with a $1.2 BILLION hole because they failed to raise the revenues need to invest in this city.

I hope through my campaign every person in Toronto understands that the archaic system that has been running this city can be reclaimed and reinvented. I have published an easy to read budget of how we can afford a city we deserve. Read here: chloebrown.ca #TOpoli
