Election Digest

This account primarily re-tweets posts from Toronto City Council candidates and news about municipal issues in the city. Tweets from current city councillors that are not explicitly campaign-related are not retweeted. Incumbents already have too many advantages.

@LanDawg05 @bconnolly00 @BradMBradford What results? Fewer dead cyclists, tons more people biking, traffic is actually the same it always has been.

@bconnolly00 @BradMBradford So no one is allowed to change their minds after seeing the results. The brain of the left is damaged.

Richmond and Adelaide are two of the most important streets in our downtown. And poor city planning has driven the time tax on residents way up. Here's my Fix It Friday plan to get the intersection moving again. Because a city we can be proud of is one that gets you where you're going. Join us and fight Toronto's time tax: bradford26.ca/petitions/cong…

@billy5698567448 @joe_warmington You are racist and you are wrong.

@joe_warmington Canada never was a country of naggers and shit skins... thats what is wrong now... go on.. call me racist but you know i am right.

He’s a councillor in the nearby area. Lives in neighbourhood. He’s an elected member. He also told real story there. He’s entitled to speak the same as anybody else. There were 6 people shot at a community festival after all but narrative was, strangely, how Toronto is so safe

@kinsellawarren 🙄

More. Under Olivia Chow, Toronto has become Gotham City. "Five people injured in shooting at Port Lands, police say" #topoli thestar.com/news/gta/three…

The Sun has been jonesing for another "summer of the gun" for so long.

@TheTorontoSun Wtf is this photo?

Remember, John Tory endorsed Brad to be the same kind of councillor as his “fiscally responsible” Beaches predecessor who, ironically, voted for the current “hybrid” Gardiner plan. Can we please not elect yet another #AusterityTO member to council here in Beaches-East York?

This candidate has been out canvassing with people who used to work for Brad/are supporting Brad, including a Strategy Corp VP (in case you wonder why he’s never spoken out against the MegaSpa at Ontario Place) and this spokesperson for ABC Toronto.

Apparently this candidate has been telling people at the doors that she would bring back the Gardiner’s Lakeshore ramp. This would mean moving backwards, overturning a decade of urban planning, not to mention ripping up roads, bike lanes, and green spaces. #topoli

3/ and people I talk to who have met with her can't seem to figure it out either. It's the same kind of power-hungry campaign that Bradford runs-- no real moral centre, nothing that defines them other than a desire to win. Politicans with a capital P.

2/ In a city where people are dying in the heat and in the cold, where children are going hungry and where cops are being rewarded with inflated budgets despite widespread corruption, Natalie Johnson is prioritizing traffic. I can't seem to find what she cares about beyond that,

@briketysplit @abctoronto_ So grass roots, much organic support.

/1 On the right holding the sign here is Kelly Aizicowitz from @abctoronto_, campaigning for Natalie Johnson in Beaches East York. If you want to replace Brad with more of the same useless representation we've had here for years, these people are for you.

@JPScoopZ Two guys taking shots at each other and hitting bystanders is not a "mass shooting". A mass shooting is where a shooter intends to kill as many people as possible. The "mass" is the target, not the environment. The way you're using it every shooting in public is a mass shooting.

@anotherglassbox @PhilPerkinsCP24 “Toronto is statistically safe” he says in the weekly mass shooter discourse

If you're a parent what's the benefit of taking your kids to a street festival in Toronto in 2026?

Jeez Joe, @joe_warmington Homeless, mentally & addicted people are not « zombies », they are guys like my brother who skidded onto the street after our Dad died. What saved him was a tiny room, a job at GoodWill, help from family and the United Church. Even then he died at 39..

If we're going with sci-fi, there are sober people indistinguishable from the general population, like some body-snatchers or pod people, who are in NA/AA and hear u calling our struggling fellows zombies. We're not gonna say anything + blow our cover, but we know what u are.

A heat warning has been issued for #Toronto starting tomorrow. ☀️ Stay hydrated and try to keep cool. Check on family, friends and neighbours. If you know someone without A/C, invite them into your place if you have a cool space. Take care of each other.

It means a few big donations from backroom elites.

@mtm14 @TolentinoTeach You don't. You didn't even use two spaces in that tweet.

@TolentinoTeach My kids insist you don’t need two spaces after the end of a sentence when typing. And it looks horrible.

I face more ideological resistance from students today than I did 10 years ago. Here's what I mean. Yesterday, I had a group of 14-year-olds argue with me about capitalization. Many of them rarely use capital letters correctly in their writing, and they genuinely believe capitalization is unnecessary, or even "dumb." When I told them that I take points off for ignoring capitalization, they insisted it was unfair. Ten years ago, I almost never had conversations like this. Students might have forgotten the rules. They might have been careless. But they rarely argued that the rules themselves didn't matter.

Two people are dead and six are injured in a shooting at Toronto’s Salsa on St. Clair festival. Live updates here. cp24.com/local/toronto/…

Secure the scene, but is there a shooter at large??
