It's really interesting that slow zones on the subway which carries 1 million riders per day gets barely any media coverage, while Gardiner Expressway construction which impacts 140,000 vehicles a day gets seemingly nonstop media coverage.

Really unfortunate seeing the Toronto subway falling apart like this, with massive speed reductions impacting 100s of thousands a day. But, these problems and the lack of action and open engagement to address them are ultimately reflective of the priorities of our leaders.

#topoli The latest in the ridiculous saga of Desoto's on St. Clair West at Lauder. A restaurant operating a corner patio for 20 years, and, despite the intervention of @BravoDavenport, the City is still giving this guy the gears. Why? change.org/p/save-desotos-ea…

To Our Valued Patrons, I am extremely thankful for your overwhelming support in this stressful time. The positive feedback and heartfelt stories help me to remember why I'm in this business, in this...

Parts of a giant 400-yr old eucalyptus tree, 85 meters tall & 280 cubic meters of stem volume from #Tasmania’s Florentine Valley are now hauled by logging trucks. It’s equivalent to poaching the extremely few remaining & critically endangered Javan rhinos. All for profit & greed.

There were over 3800 birds included in our Annual Bird Layout this year. These birds were collected during Spring and Fall Migration of 2022. The largest bird found was this female Wild Turkey, who shattered the window she collided with at an industrial building in Markham, ON.

Bill C-41 is unduly restrictive, and it should be replaced with a general humanitarian exemption. ⁦@joe_belliveau⁩ ⁦@MSF_canada⁩ linkedin.com/posts/joe-belli…
