Saw La Bola Negra. An ambitious and sweeping historical epic on how queer stories persist, no matter what. 💫

Hard agree. Please, make this narrative stop. While we're at it the 'bc politics is so wacky' narrative, which originates in Central Canada, could also be put to rest...

When it's 28C in October. ☀️ Heaven.

I just saw a film about the AI-enabled apocalypse. Only it's not science fiction. It's not even in the future. It's in the present. The film is called NAZA. See it. @theguardian.com @us.theguardian.com youtu.be/98xLCdc7t7E

Haha, a more fitting logo for Google.

New reporting shows impact of US tariffs on honey producers www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Canadian gov. walking away from tariff talks just handed dems in US a good talking point: “can’t even make a deal with Canada.” We’ll see if that enters the discourse at scale…

For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal. We have been pragmatic, patient, and persistent. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or on any time frame.

Baffling www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/a1e5e33...

At the risk of being old man yelling at cloud: The epidemic of illegally tinted driver and passenger windows on cars in Ontario is outrageous. Pedestrians, cyclists, people using mobility devices like scooters and wheelchairs can’t communicate with drivers. It’s unsafe and shouldn’t be tolerated.

“The immeasurable gains #fossifuels gave us over the past century are now being taken away, hundreds of houses, thousands of evacuations, and billions of dollars at a time, leaving mass trauma, ravaged landscapes, impoverished communities, and a tattered social fabric.”

Heard it’s amazing ❤️ 🏒

barbaric tip line guy for mayor? Thank you, next. 🙄

Obscured by so much noise, there's this.

Buffalo's biggest edge over other Great Lakes cities is facing west for ocean-style sunsets. T.O. always missed out—until now. Looking west over the water toward the skyline, the new Biidaasige Park finally gives us that magic view. I can see this being the new Riverdale Park. 🌇 (Photo: ave_spadina)

Come join us for a Queer Picnic Sat, Aug 1, 2-6pm on Church St to celebrate the 55th anniversary of Gay Picnic Day—Canada’s first Pride! There will be grass, sandboxes, and even my mini inflatable pool! Bring your picnic blankets, camping chairs, and most importantly, your friends! (1/2)

I’d like to present a motion to officially retire the word “tariff” from the English language once this is all over.

Repost if you think the Church Street pedestrianization project should be made permanent and year-round. An absolute new gem of a space in the heart of Toronto’s LGBT community.

Ok we’ve tried the angry “tell it like it is” dude before on council, as mayor, and as premier now. Let’s pls not fall for that old grift again.

This. This is the correct, science-backed, responsible framing. Wish more news outlets did it like the CBC.

Remember when the tariffs were about fentanyl?

Pedestrianization is often framed as transforming streets. In many cases, we're actually restoring them. We're reclaiming what's been lost: social connection, local commerce, civic life, and human-scale movement. Perhaps it's time to shift from street transformation to street restoration.

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦 #canadaday Today I’m thinking about a patriotism expressing the values of equity, pluralism, economic opportunity, critique and questioning, empathy, human rights, kindness, openness, justice and fairness.

En souhaitant à mes amis au Québec une très bonne Saint-Jean. 💙

I’m now known as someone who breaks out into showtunes during work calls. In my defense, they ~add value~. Top tier personality hire. 💅

It’s surreal seeing it come full circle. The people stuck in the crowded Church Street sidewalk are now free to roam the streets! (At least during the 2 month pedestrianization pilot) Streets are for the people!

Congratulations to all those who advocated for this. @chanface.bsky.social @chrismoise.ca @jaketobin.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGgk...

Too good not to skeet

I confess to loving the Sea to Sky scenery in the show, with the turquoise Pacific waters of Howe Sound standing in for a lake in Muskoka. But Barry's Bay and the "cottage culture" is so quintessentially Ontarian, I would have loved to see it actually set there. 😍 www.cbc.ca/arts/can-a-t...

There were over 46k Bike Share rides in Toronto yesterday, more than the average ridership of the Queen streetcar. The cost to the city to operate that streetcar was over $50k/day in 2015. Bike share costs the city $8k/day. 6x as cost efficient. Smart cities invest in cycling.

The voice in my head when i go to the theatre to watch anything horror: "but, this isn't Twin Peaks..."

I get more messages from Madonna than men on Grindr, am I right? Now if only Cher would message me 😳

Seriously, the solution to "crowd management" is pedestrianization more often, in more places, and for longer. Instead, transportation services just used "risks associated with high attendance" as a reason to not support Church St. pedestrianization. There is so much rot at city hall.
