A look back at 10 years of Senate reforms and the key milestones that have helped shape a more independent Upper Chamber.

The Atmosphere Delivers the Freedom the Internet Promised. The open web is rewiring my mindset to push back against American corporations owning everything about me. #offprint https://letters.jeejeebhoy.ca/a/3myumvwrfbg23-the-atmosphere-delivers-the-freedom-the-internet-promised #BlogPost

@offprint.app I was also wondering if it's possible to create a Component that fetches the latest post from either an RSS feed or another of my Atmosphere/Offprint blogs?

@offprint.app Is there a way to create a Share button in a post like what Substack does before publishing the post? Or can one only do that after publishing?

💯“It’s a mandate to stand up to Premier Doug Ford more, rather than taking the conciliatory tack that hasn’t resulted in saving any bike lanes. Oh, and removing bike lanes doesn’t win municipal elections…Chow also desperately needs to talk about police corruption. The silence was scandalous” #TOpoli

The journalist missed her emphatic opening remarks about democracy. I hope I’m reading them right as @mayoroliviachow.ca’s salvo to pursuing Charter City status. #TOpoli #onpoli

The dense subtropical thorn forest is right along the migratory routes for thousands of rare bird species. It was the best hope for a restoration of native ocelot and jaguarundis. The wall would kill the ability of the area to be a wildlife corridor, effectively blocking animal movement.

Since Toronto has a more progressive council, I propose that the Charter City be the first item on the agenda after they are sworn in.

I don't understand why more roofs aren't white, let alone covered in radiative-cooling paint.

Toronto needs Charter City status. Greens supporting that loudly will go a long way to restoring democracy to us and then expanding it to all cities. #onpoli

I did not know this. I’d better send myself a reminder! What a stupid cost-cutting move.

I think this is the first time in a long time I’ve felt a little bit of hope. Maybe Toronto can push back against the racing to the past Ford and Carney are indulging in. 🤞 Bedtime! 🥱

It felt like people were voting who’d normally yawn. I don’t know if it was the water issue triggering people’s anti-US feelings (Toronto is proud of our well-run public services, my complaints about Toronto Water notwithstanding, still way better than alternative) or fed up w Ford type politics.

Because the Toronto mayoral election is the largest one in the country, this also means Olivia Chow has won more votes in an election than any other in Canadian history. (Mel Lastman held the record with 483,277 in 2000.)

Good one! 😂 This one I can endorse. I noted her first point was all about democracy. And emphasized that concept, which the Supreme Court tossed when it said yes to Ford meddling in our election. Charter City here we come! *whispers I hope*🤞

I think more progressive Councillors voted in and ward incumbents tossed reflects both a return to wanting services back more than cutting taxes and a rejection of Ford and Carney’s conservative policies. Maybe Toronto realizing can’t have good infrastructure & services sans a sustainable tax base.

Braeden coming in 3rd with no publicity — never even heard of him until saw his name on the ballot — makes one wonder how many of his votes were meant for @mayoroliviachow.ca … #TOpoli

Interesting factoid: both Bradford and Chow came to Toronto at 13 years old. Bradford’s love for Toronto vibrated out of him. Chow bursting with energy: Democracy. Practical programs to reduce Torontonians’ costs. Consensus and compassion. Would be something if she makes food affordable! #TOpoli

Over half a million votes for Olivia Chow for mayor! Broadcasters are calling it. Chow has won a second term - this for a full term as first term was a by-election after Tory resigned. So relieved!! I don’t agree with all her policies but not voting for cut/freeze taxes as a panacea platform #TOpoli

Voting places are now closed, unofficial results will be available at toronto.ca/Elections – your trusted source for municipal election information #TOVotes26 #TorontoVotes2026

Toronto election announcements delayed because of long lines at the Scarborough and Regent Park polling stations. Suggesting it’s shift workers heading to vote after work. Plus Olivia Chow’s campaigners working on getting out the vote till last minute. Nice 👍

There are still some voting places with voters in line. Unofficial results for the 2026 Toronto Municipal Election will be available after the polls close at toronto.ca/Elections. Results will begin to be available at approximately 9 p.m.

The online part was important too, of course. We collectively decided to not interact with any right wing post or comment ever. Trolls and bots lost their power. This is a good lesson.

Voting places for Toronto’s 2026 municipal election will close at 8 p.m. today. You can still vote if you're in line by 8 p.m. Find your voting place, download your Voter Information Card, review a sample ballot & more at toronto.ca/Elections #TOVotes26 #TorontoVotes2026

Musing on why it's significant that the one who represents humanity and the God who rules above all come together in the person of Jesus. #offprint https://mind-explorer.offprint.app/a/3mtwmwwbzq723-revelation-chapter-1-verses-13-to #BlogPost #BibleStudy #Revelation #resurrection #theology

It’s voting day! 🗳️ Torontonians: make sure you vote for OLIVIA Chow not Braeden Chow. The first names are in teeny tiny print on the ballot and it’s easy to mix up Braeden for Olivia. Check you’re voting for the right Chow, Olivia, when filling in the circle! #Toronto #TOpoli @mayoroliviachow.ca

Star Trek is disappearing into the rearview mirror. This generation so much longer lived than their parents’ but seems like passing on too soon. #RIP www.ctvnews.ca/entertainmen...

Hey Toronto, here's your chance to send the right wing grifters packing. Vote Chow.

Olivia is #9 on your ballot!

"Salvation: Be Inspired!" Is inspiration enough to restore broken neurons and heal a brain injury? When strategies and opening the boxes of the new you fail, turn to neurostimulation! #offprint brain-injury-travails.offprint.app/a/3myn7edmtp... #BrainInjury #BlogPost #neurostimulation #memoir

The election of our discontent, final column. Hardest one to wrote. Had to rewrite it from scratch to get the argument clear. City elections are a catch-all for angst that isn’t directed to the place where change can actually happen. It’s a kind of dysfunction. I hope you’ll read & share it.

Today is Brain Cancer Awareness Day. Wearing my #HatsForHope gear in memory of my dear friend Reid, who passed away in August (see my post at debbieohi.leaflet.pub/3mtyotpbeyc2w). Help raise awareness and fund hope at: hatsforhopecanada.ca

Concussion from a #CarCrash is no joke. With secondary cascading effects from microglia spreading their neuron-destroying messaging into uninjured areas, #BrainInjury can worsen over the succeeding year. And even if symptoms abate, risk of #dementia doesn’t. Why EVERYONE injured should be treated.
