I’d guess a big factor is the increase in people expercing a housing crisis, which is very visible. And of course while you can see this everywhere it is not likely houseless people are going to rob you much less shoot you. There is a pretty simple fix for this! (It’s give everyone a home)

Why is Gord Perks calling, what did I skeet this time

"Governments expanded harm reduction without building... the treatment, psychiatric care, supportive housing, recovery and transitional capacity needed to address the underlying problems at the same scale." This is precisely it. We gave up on something without ever fully investing what was required.

“What are you doing about public safety on the TTC?” ❌ I don’t understand, crime is down ✅ Everyone deserves to feel safe on the TTC. Crisis support workers, supportive housing, addictions treatment, the 211 number, 911 response time, etc

The Toronto Police association: - endorsed Olivia Chow, - says the mayor doesn’t need to sit on the board if it’s functioning properly - says the Ontario Police College can only train net +100 officers per year so her hiring plan is more realistic

All Bike lane projects are road safety projects: making it uncomfortable+ impossible to drive fast was the point. If you want to drive fast, do it on a highway, away from where people live, walk & cycle. People were driving at an avg speed that would kill a human and that's what will happen again.

Bike lane removals from Islington to Royal York are anticipated to start the evening of Oct. 13. Community members are encouraged to meet at the Bloor Green P Lot for Tom Riley Park at 5pm onwards (come whenever you can) 1/2

Honestly not a great result for all the arguments that a road diet would be better received than the speed cameras People are going to hate that too!

"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.

"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, and there is no network of side streets that could replace these lanes."

Thanksgiving. Really. Is anyone else about to have a super awkward family get together in Etobicoke or just me

Tuesday will be a sad day for Ontario. Ford's government is taking us backwards, spending millions taking away bike lanes in Toronto when people across Ontario desperately need money for hospitals, housing, schools and infrastructure.

The Ford government is set to remove Etobicoke bike lanes next week. The government confirmed to the Star that work will begin Oct. 13 to remove bike lanes on a stretch of Bloor Street that has been at the heart of the city’s bike lane battle.

Housing is central to our quality of life in the city. Here are four housing priorities to build a city we can all afford.

… I’m really worried about Toronto Centre 🙈

Warning: Inside of you there are two Chows, make sure you pick the right one!!

"Some of you must die" is an interesting campaign plan.
