From @TOenviro's @HowSenChong: "The radio silence on our city’s biggest environmental priorities from half the major candidates for mayor is not normal, and should be ringing alarm bells. Whoever is elected will be leading our city through countless extreme weather events..."
Why is Brad Bradford afraid to take a survey about the climate crisis? Having 1 of the 2 major candidates ignoring this important issue only makes the mayoral race worse for it. #TOpoli

Ford must stop interfering with our city
Make no mistake: Toronto will stand up for itself.

“The cost to the taxpayer here is huge,” cycling lawyer Dave Shellnutt said in a statement released ahead of Tuesday’s demonstration. “We are ripping out safe infrastructure that the premier’s own internal reporting shows won’t help congestion.”
Advocacy for Respect for Cyclists says an all-out two-wheeled protest is planned on a stretch of Bloor Street West between Islington and Royal York to “disrupt, or try to make it difficult” for the bike lanes to be removed. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/10/…

We've released the results of our transit policy survey! We asked all mayoral & council candidates about their commitments to improving transit.
Of the leading mayoral candidates, only Olivia Chow completed our survey; Chris Alexander made a platform commitment to hike fares
Election fact check: Any suggestion that Toronto can create a new water utility and have full control over water bills is not factual.
According to the Water & Wastewater Public Corporations Act, 2025, Toronto wouldn't approve its own water rates - the Housing Minister would.
Sarah Buchanan retweeted
Time for some election fact checking on Toronto's water budget. We heard a claim from candidate Brad Bradford today that implied that the City's capital reserve fund for water infrastructure (sewers, pipes, & water treatment) is unnecessary. This is dangerous & short-sighted. 1/4
Some seriously good fact-checking here, and also as someone who dug into the City's waste budget I can back up his analysis on #5: Recycling bins (I know, my work is very exciting.....)

The municipal election is an opportunity to build a greener, more liveable future for our city. We asked candidates where they stand on 5 key environmental priorities from heat protection to urban trees.

Lots of posts about Minister of Emergency Preparedness Jill Dunlop's wild behaviour in abandoning a CBC interview live on the air. But it's worth listening to the whole thing - starts around 1:45 - she admits to not having spoken to a single evacuee. cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-2…
“If we want to make sure that the number of extreme weather events, of heat days & wildfire events, doesn’t increase exponentially, we need to stop burning things for energy,” says @HowSenChong thestar.com/news/gta/toronto…

✈️ Think Premier Ford controls whether jets come to the Island Airport? Think again.
As @canadagray points out, that decision belongs to the federal government — and its Toronto MPs.

Hey folks, if you had plans to depute on behalf of Sneaky Dee’s on Thursday…well, you don’t have to any more.
This is exactly why we need a bylaw setting a maximum temperature in rental units. And strong enforcement of current bylaws that say landlords must keep AC/cooling in working order if they have it. This could get dangerous. cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/c…

BREAKING: City Council has voted to accelerate the development of a Maximum Temperature Bylaw from 2028 to June, 2027.
The climate is getting hotter. After years of work by TEA and our allies, we are relieved to see a faster timeline.
