HAPPY MUNICIPAL ELECTION DAY, ONTARIO! The vote has arguably the biggest effect on your day-to-day life. I’m BEGGING you not to sit this one out. Don’t let a small minority determine who’s going to run the show. Not sure who to vote for? Use this @thestar.com tool to see who best aligns with you.

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

Doug Ford had failed everyone in the Province of Ontario! But nothing will ever be done if you continue to sit on your ASS and dont vote him out! When will enough be enough??🇨🇦

Avi Lewis: "The entire process was unnecessary. Nobody asked for it. Danielle Smith's career has been defined by a slow walk towards separation. All of the questions are designed to stoke division in Alberta, and she is the one who is responsible for that."

There are many things I’m very proud of as a Canadian. MANY things. But every time I watch another media story about another ambitious push in renewable energy from China, I’m embarrassed that Canada isn’t aggressively working to quickly become a true global powerhouse in renewable energy.

Ok annoying Ontario ad during the Leafs game. You say you’re saving me $500 a year in fuel? Yeah, if I bought 5555Ls of gas in a year.

Also, please ignore the fact that I've spent the last five years telling you it's broken.

Pierre Poilievre: "Please get out and vote for Canada. This is the best country in the world. There are literally billions of people who would trade their country for ours if they had the chance."

“In the era of the climate crisis, politicians campaigning against bike lanes aren’t fit for office.” — @taylornoakes.com in @cultmtl.com Also in an era of worsening urban traffic, urban pollution, urban noise, exploding public costs, competition among cities, and not nearly enough space in cities.

No, no. We've been assured it's too hilly and too snowy for Toronto to be a great cycling city. So this can't be true for the hillier and snowier Montreal.

Montreal ranks second among the world’s best cycling cities, according to new survey. momentummag.com/montreal-ran...

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

I ride my bike everywhere because it's fast and convenient and saves me a lot of money. It's pro-social too, I'm not spewing exhaust in anyone's face and I use a very tiny fraction of the road infrastructure that cars do. It's a win win. How the F did cycling become such a cultural flashpoint?

Alberta separatist leader Jeffrey Rath says Mark Carney is a "crooked politician" and the best thing that's happened to the independence movement, calling him, after Jason Kenney, "the most reviled politician in the province."

Construction trucks leaving Bloor and Islington area after being successfully deterred from starting work on removing bike lanes in Toronto by a large protest.

Finally listened to 1039 smoothed out slappy hours, with lyrics. What!? Those are not the words I’ve been singing. 35 years and I have to totally relearn the whole album.

"Ripping out these protected bike lanes against the will of Toronto city council is a colossal waste of $48 million. The province’s own experts know it will not ease traffic congestion, it will put people’s lives at risk…” One of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen any politician do to any city.

cbc.caOntario will officially begin removing Toronto bike lanes on Tuesday | CBC NewsOntario will begin removing bike lanes from a stretch on Bloor Street W. in Etobicoke on Tuesday, the Ministry of Transportation says.

I’m sure they won’t waste the ad budget on this, but FYI Free flu shots are available to everyone 6 months of age and older who lives, works or goes to school in Ontario starting October 26

Are there any other sports fans out there that get irked when a commentator speaks of an event in a franchise’s history, but uses their dead name? Like, they transitioned away from the racist name! Respect that organizations new name.

Sometimes the WAR ON WALKING results in no sidewalks at all. Sometimes they put “something” in — but does that really make things walkable for anyone except those without any other choices? The #WARonWALKING takes many forms, but it’s always about making things comfortable for vehicles, not people.
