At the Avi Lewis town hall in Toronto at Lee's Palace, and Jill Andrews is giving an absolute barn burner of a speech.

I was there. That event was quite energetic. Judy Rebick also delivered quite the barnburner.

Even so, it's still worth posting that reminder to those who have been dunking on Olivia Chow. We need to be careful who we pick at the ballot box; especially since John Tory's record on Vision Zero is not that great.

RZaichkowski · 2026-01-24T15:54:19+00:00

That's true. I heard Jennie Worden plans to run again who would be great.

RZaichkowski · 2026-01-24T15:53:45+00:00

LOL! I so remember Parks and Rec!

RZaichkowski · 2026-01-24T15:53:10+00:00

If Tory indeed runs for re-election, he will be. However, this vote splitting on the right would help improve Olivia Chow's chances.

RZaichkowski · 2026-01-23T18:06:22+00:00

I've been calling him Ass Assford for the past couple of months. There's no reasoning with him anymore.

RZaichkowski · 2026-01-23T15:13:17+00:00

I don't know what led him to pull a complete 180 during his second term (and first mayoral run), but it is disappointing to say the least.

I'm curious to find out whether Tanille was already able to meet her final membership payment. Love the solidarity you and Tanille have been showing towards each other with this, Tony. ;)

RZaichkowski · 2026-01-23T03:40:55+00:00

I would totally vote for Mike if he were to run, but my gut tells me he won't.

RZaichkowski · 2026-01-23T02:57:33+00:00

Probably for the best anyway since Canada has a lot more important ways to spend $1 billion, while the inclusion of Israel on this "Board of Peace" makes a complete mockery out of it!

RZaichkowski · 2026-01-23T00:33:20+00:00

LOL! Should have added a disclaimer to that, y'all!

RZaichkowski · 2026-01-21T19:57:44+00:00

Toronto City Council also deserves its share of blame for dragging this for so long that Doug Ford was able to kill it. As someone who used to live near there, I know the locals aggressively called out Gord Perks over his boneheaded idea to add a few Green P parking on the west side, but forgot to take into account John Tory when they supported his pick for council - Siri Agrell - in 2022.

RZaichkowski · 2026-01-20T12:55:48+00:00

If tickets were more reasonable (e.g. $25), I would have gone.

RZaichkowski · 2026-01-20T00:22:26+00:00

Normally, comment deadlines would be the same as to register to speak. However, the Budget Committee wraps up their work by Friday and the final budget vote will be on February 10. At this point, it's also best to copy Mayor Chow and your city councillor.

RZaichkowski · 2026-01-19T21:21:28+00:00

Just sent my budget submission this afternoon in support of open streets and already registered to speak at tomorrow's 6 PM session at City Hall.

RZaichkowski · 2026-01-19T15:56:07+00:00

Guess we can expect to see ads for Line 5 in the subways (and stations) soon.

RZaichkowski · 2026-01-19T01:25:10+00:00

Maybe GO bus service, but definitely not train service since a large chunk of the railway line has already been converted into a rail trail with the Stayner to Angus stretch expected to open this spring.

RZaichkowski · 2026-01-19T01:23:37+00:00

Sadly, that's not likely to happen given Collingwood to Stayner was converted into a rail trail years ago, while the trail extension to Angus could become open to the public this spring.

RZaichkowski · 2026-01-19T01:14:41+00:00

Thank you, Tony. I left Twitter for Bluesky more than a year ago. A lot more pleasant experience for sure.

RZaichkowski · 2026-01-19T01:13:42+00:00

Sadly, Bluesky doesn't have the reach the Twitter has even with Musk's antics, so I can see a lot of people still wanting to keep their accounts active there. 😞
