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.

@wanscoodooby @globalnewsto Here's another case with the right verdict, after a necessary trial. orilliamatters.com/court/acquitte…

@wanscoodooby @globalnewsto If he had killed her, you'd be fine with letting him walk free. share.google/ADllbIEPKeFIBz…

No charges against Ontario resident who shot and injured alleged home invader: police globalnews.ca/news/11734883/…

@JIMBO12456334 @DustinDPlett @OrbitStudios When a dead body is found the police have to investigate, an ambulance and fire truck arrive. If they're dying but not dead yet, they go to the hospital. Have you actually lived in the world?

@ElectionDigest @DustinDPlett @OrbitStudios Ok. Cremation costs $2000 the homeless zombie industrial complex costs $51,000 per person per year. Thats basically the equivalent of after tax income for the average worker Did you pass grade 4 math?

Get loaded everywhere but safe injection sites are bad.

@wanscoodooby @globalnewsto You don't seem to grasp the fact that people fucking LIE.

@JIMBO12456334 @DustinDPlett @OrbitStudios You have no idea.

@ElectionDigest @DustinDPlett @OrbitStudios No it doesn’t. Death is a one time expense

@wanscoodooby @globalnewsto And no, most murders and assaults are not in self-defense. Many, many, many assaults occur in the home of the assailant (abusive husbands for example!). A presumption of innocence based on being in your home when you assault someone is nuts.

@ElectionDigest @globalnewsto They can’t leave the planet. They will get caught. You know and I know that your concern would account for a very small percentage of cases. The ability to defend yourself without instant prosecution is more important than someone using the laws to kill other criminals.

@wanscoodooby @globalnewsto You sound very soft on crime. You're okay with someone who has admitted to killing someone, wandering around freely, potentially threatening and influencing witnesses or leaving the country?

@drmikehart He said the environmental devastation in the tar sands was bullshit. That's bullshit.

Not one person hating on Pierre Poilevere has criticized his talking points or policies discussed in the podcast. The haters are simply spewing emotional personal attacks on Joe or Pierre. Listen to the show.

@stphnmaher Why would we need him to be PM if we already have someone he's supporting who keeps stealing his ideas? Why does Pierre act like an ass in Canada and like a diplomat on Joe Rogan?

This is good stuff. Humble Poilievre is much more likeable than abrasive Poilievre. There's a story to be told about how he smartened up. Not hard to imagine this guy as pm one day if he keeps this up.

How about treating housing like a priority for life?

@StevenBonkMP What's a worse form of energy than oil and gas (nevermind the ethics of other governments)?

It’s said that a lie can get around the world before the truth has a chance to put its pants on. This clip is a really good reminder that the job of defending Canadian oil and gas never stops. Pierre does a masterful job of dispelling lies that have been told about Canada’s oil sands. Canadian energy, specifically from the oil sands and Fort Mac, is ethical and adheres to world-class safety and environmental standards. Our oil and gas displaces far worse forms of energy, from far worse countries, to give Canadians a far better standard of living. All we need to do is tell the truth and correct falsehoods when we hear them.

@venus4937 2026 is the year of announcing that you aren't running.

You cannot make this shit up

Shut up.

Another important piece BY ME that went live this week: Toronto considers micro-shelter communities to tackle homelessness cp24.com/local/toronto/…

@BradMBradford x.com/BradMBradford/… Brad, get lost, you’re a hypocrite on this issue. Complains the TTC is unsafe and when transit officers arrests someone which turns physical, he has the nerve to make tweets like this.

More than almost anything else the current Ontario government wants to deny you this.

Am I forgetting, didn't Ford scrap Wynne-era legislation about this, didn't we talk about this like a couple years ago

@SpicyCentrist @globalnewsto Sounds good. You should write up your comments and submit them to Parliament.

@ElectionDigest @globalnewsto It depends on the caliber used. There should be some guidance in the law on what kind of guns and ammo are acceptable for home defense, though what those should be exactly is up for debate, as is the punishments for violations.

@seekerclub1 @BradMBradford I do whenever I go out.

@ElectionDigest @BradMBradford Ride the TTC after the afternoon rush hour & get back to me.

I’m bringing forward real, immediate steps to restore safety and confidence on transit — because empty promises aren’t enough, and people deserve to feel safe getting where they need to go.
