- Lmao a driver just walked up to a big crowd of us at Dundas West and said, "Hey are you guys waiting for the 504 streetcar?" "Yeah." "It's on fire."
- If you heard Doug Ford say only 1.2% of Torontonians bike to work and thought, "That can't be true" — you're right. The real number is around 10%. Add in errands & socializing: 44%. Add in all cycling: 70%. And growing. 🔓 No paywall #onpoli
- Whenever I see videos like this I’m reminded just how many people are carried by transit and how inefficient our roads are
- NDP MPP @kristynwongtam tears down a portion of the Ontario Science Centre fence. I heard them asking “Where’s the weak point?” a few mins ago. I laughed. “I’m serious,” they said. #onpoli

- The CRA confirms that tenants are responsible for withholding 25% of their foreign landlords' rent and paying it to the CRA — something almost no one was aware of a month ago. "The Government of Canada continuously reviews the tax system to ensure it is both fair and efficient."
- Trump: Justin edited home alone Canadian journalist, desperately clawing at their phone: Um, fail alert? That's not *exactly* how things work up here in the Great White North. The CBC, or Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, is 1/250
- Incredible reporting here. 8 Shoppers pharmacists say higher-ups pressure them to bill unnecessary med checks. One allegedly "threaten[ed] the livelihood of pharmacists." An internal letter called it "borderline abusive."
- Replying to @fallonhewitt_ and @malaknetoI think the video's not loading, I don't see anything
- New: At least 11 employment programs, many focused on people with disabilities, have ended in the past year after the Ford govt's changes. Confidential documents admit to cuts and suggest workers skip lunch to deal with the increased workload. #onpoli
- 🧵 You're about to hear the Ford government talk a lot about the "1.2% who commute by bike" when they reference Toronto bike lanes. It's very misleading.
- New: Ontario appears to be paying a private company more than three times as much as in-house staff to handle freedom-of-information requests. Neither side will say how much the venture has cost. #onpoli
