Tim Ellis, TDSB Ward 2 Trustee 🍁

Took the kids to a beautiful sandswept beach nearby but miscalculated and got there 30 million years too early

David Cochrane: Are you worried it could deter some possible investment from coming to Canada? Mélanie Joly: No, serious people abide by the law.

Amnesiac Market has forgotten that PT was good for growth "Before Sunday’s result, the real had gained 10% against the US dollar this year while Brazil’s stock market had been one of the world’s best performing, up 38% in dollar terms, only slightly behind South Korea’s semiconductor-heavy index."

I don't think I actually officially posted it here, but I won last night. :) I'll have a proper thank you post later but I'm exhausted lol

Thank you, Etobicoke. <3

It's 9 Celsius and I'm wearing a crop top. Yes, I'm Canadian.

I just can't get enough of voting, apparently

Walking around downtown Toronto as the sun rises is bringing back some incredible post-rave memories. What a wild run this life has been so far. What a tremendous gift to have lived it.

6:45 AM. On to the next task already. This one is a lot lower pressure than an election. Can't say much yet, but I'll give you a hint: it's an event, and it's the first ever of its kind in Canada.

So everyone who had a "Olivia is running a terrible campaign" take last week when it looked like Bradford was polling high has gotta step back and reassess how they judge these things because 14 points ahead is a romping and that ain't something that happened in the course of a week.

if you want to follow ANYTHING from what elected Lula here in brazil, this is the most important lesson and change of mindset that happened here just don't give them the attention they want. let them speak amongst themselves and let us win by silencing them with our voices

Wab Kinew: "Let's get rid of the Indian Act. You have nothing to lose but your chains."

We go now live to the Brad Bradford campaign for a reaction to tonight's overwhelming defeat:

Everyone gets a current issue of @spacing.bsky.social here

Hope you voted! And if you haven’t, there’s still time. Go! And at 8, join us for a live-from-our-couch discussion as results come in. It’ll be a little chaotic, but super fun. open.substack.com/live-stream/...

Taking a different angle on this: fascism is an international movement and liberalism should be too—and always has been!

In the last few weeks i've been bombarded with emails from people who have minor tech support problems. ChatGPT is telling them to email me, writing their emails, and compiling "evidence packets" after convincing them they have stumbled on a major story: www.404media.co/chatgpt-keep...

The comments in this thread are all spot on, I'll just add that this exposes Matt Y's lack of political acumen too - we are clearly living through the early pangs of global civilization and global political alignment. And he just doesn't see it!

The provincial government wants to pick a fight with Toronto parents? Ok Doug. Bring it on. Thanks to CP24 for the chance to share my thoughts!

Laser-focused on turning out my base (fantasy nerds)

It's not that I don't appreciate your sword, your bow, and your axe - it's just that today, what I really need is your vote! One may simply walk to the nearest polling station and vote for Trustee - I'm on there as Timothy Ellis. Find your polling station here: myvote.toronto.ca

Get out and vote, Toronto!

"You don't turn the Titanic around overnight" has been really bugging me because a) yes you can and b) you definitely should, that was the main problem

Let's keep it going tomorrow, Toronto!

Best day for democracy worldwide in quite some time: Brazil’s center-left president won the runoff in an upset, blocking the far-right from gaining unified power. Serbia’s right-wing authoritarian government finally lost control of parliament after more than a decade in power

The achievement of Serbian students overthrowing Aleksandar Vučić can't be overstated. In 2024, they began protesting. In 2025, they transformed a protest movement into civil dissidence. In 2026, they became a political party — and two months later, crushed a corrupt state-entrenched authoritarian.

Another stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian students voted out their authoritarian leadership after months of protests against corruption, taking their fight from the streets to the ballot box and turning people power into political power.

See? There is no secret “defeat fascism once and for all” belief system. You just do the work, every election. Far left, center left, it doesn’t matter. Learn the lesson: Stop pretending you’re special and just fucking vote for Democrats.

"hey Tim what's your exercise regimen?" Easy. Climb 3,000 flights of stairs every four years.

The kids centre near me did a bracelet making workshop and posted the results with the caption "screw AI" in case you are wondering how widespread the hate for this stuff is lol

I don't know what it is about Harvey's but it smells so much better than every other fast food joint

This is also the worst way I could have found out they are remaking the Grinch stole Christmas

You can buy a lot of apples with those savings? Hey Alberta, how would you like them apples?

I'm Tim Ellis and I approve of being a huge pain in the ass to Doug Ford

Doug Ford is not negotiating in good faith. We're in for a fight. And I intend to win. On Monday, show up and vote. Make this an election Doug Ford cannot ignore.

Mark Carney on Elon Musk crippling Ukraine’s Starlink: “I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision… against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of its citizens against naked aggression."

Ready to rally for public education!

DJing the Mimico Residents Halloween Dance tonight at David Hornell school! Wear a costume and come dance! :D mimicoresidents.ca/event/hallow...

LAUNCHING: I'm partnering with TCDSB Trustee candidate Sara Concordia to launch a petition calling for a 2 year pause on student use of "AI" applications in Toronto schools, modelled on the excellent @aicaution.ca petition in BC. If you're in Toronto, you can sign here: www.votetim.ca/pause

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

You have to appreciate the commitment to the bit. "We're declaring independence under authority we don't actually have" except now it's just two guys doing that to two slightly different guys
