Prediction: multiple videos like this are made by the opposition during the next election campaign showing gridlock on these roads and hammering home how much money they as wasted removing them.
We’ve completed the removal of bike lanes along 1.2 kilometres of Bloor Street West, restoring vehicle lanes in both directions.   Under Premier Ford’s leadership, we're fighting gridlock, supporting local businesses and getting drivers moving again.

Another Friday night of street racing in Don Valley West! It’s been called in to 911 already (by more than me)— when are we going to take dangerous driving seriously in TO? @councillor_w15 @MayorOliviaChow @fordnation @TPSOperations @TorontoPolice @thekeenanwire @GraphicMatt

Meanwhile, somewhere in 114: OSo suCks. heS So OVErraTeD
I am hearing @MLS is giving the 1-1 goal to Osorio which means @OsoJ92 has become the first player in MLS history to ever score in 14 straight seasons for the same club, leaving Wondo alone on 13. @TorontoFC @JohnMolinaro @LukeWileman

I have spent a lifetime preparing to chant WHO ARE YOU? at Messi as he walks off a torn-up pitch on Toronto’s lakefront on a unusually cold spring night, hopefully in the pissing rain, with Richie screaming at him about something. I might retire after it m, too.
If Miami have a terrible season, Messi’s retirement match could be at BMO Field. #TFCLive

It’s ok to have differing opinions on the policy direction the city or Toronto takes over the next four years and to have preferred a different mayor. However, if you are out here today saying “we’re cooked,” we’re screwed,” “What a disaster,” etc. You aren’t a serious person

Had he won, I wouldn’t have thought the city was going to explode, like some voices are going to claim (largely for the algo bump—gotta get those engagements). To that point, I voted for Chow, but I’m not delusional enough to think she can instantly fix the city’s problems.

And a lot of you really, really need to learn what a mayor can and can’t do. Cause you blame Chow for a lot of shit that really has nothing to do with her job. Finally, is the Canadian right going to learn that edgelord politics isn’t an effective way to win elections here?

Decided to start writing on a fitness blog I started a while ago then didn’t have time for. It’s part of my overall commitment to doing more long form and less social media On why I still race (and why you should yell at children on the trail). actyouragefitness.substack.c…

Collectively we all need to stop blaming individual politicians for systemic problems that have long existed and, conversely, holding up the person we vote for as the one who is going to magically solve those problems. This type of partisan thinking is why nothing gets fixed,

Today wasn’t a great day for TFC but at least none of the supporters groups publicly resigned. So half full, really.
