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.

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..

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.

@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.

@PP_bones @StereoMic69 Since when do I invite random people into my home? How would that be a solution anyway? We can help more people together than we can individually.

@PP_bones @BtheNorth You mean about how they would get sick and spread disease and die? Those are facts. Those are things that happen with unvaccinated people.

@ButterSquanch @MaxStansLuffy @xXPhasemanXx And violating their human rights? See what I mean? That only works if you think of them as subhuman. Forced rehab does not work. People have to want to get clean and they have to survive long enough to want to get clean. They need support, not imprisonment.

@JimRossStrategy Everything Bradford posts get inundated with negative comments, but he has an obligation to his backers to announce these planks to his platform. So he's doing it on Fridays to minimize the blowback.

@ElectionDigest I'm not really sure that applies in this context, at least not anymore. Governments do that to prevent bad news from turning into multi-day stories. Even in Toronto the idea of a municipal policy announcement in 2026 becoming a multi-day story for good reasons is far fetched.

Governments often announce bad news on Fridays because people aren't paying close attention and by the time the weekend is over they hope folks will forget about it. Bradford announces the planks of his platform on Fridays. Who is advising this guy?

@Cyril22222 @sunlorrie Why use what? The word Sankofa? Because it means learning from the past and the decision was made by council, including Bradford, to remove the name Dundas from the square.

@ElectionDigest @sunlorrie So why use it to change it in the first place - and why waste taxpayer money - as an expert in elections you should obviously know it's all about pandering and virtue signaling for votes. And did they even bother to do a plebiscite ? (and I'll ignore your insult for now)

@ElectionDigest @StereoMic69 Because you believe they're human beings and it's a very nice gesture to invite human beings to your home and share food and stuffs.

@ElectionDigest If you are angry and resentful you are also one step closer to Genocide Maybe we should ban certain emotions?

When Brian Lilley, or anybody else, refers to drug addicts as "zombies", it's a level of dehumanization that should be considered a hate crime.

@StereoMic69 @Topicsgalore @Hoccuphocc3 So work for 60 minutes and donate half you money to organizations that actually help people so you don't have to try to shame random people on the internet into inviting random addicts into their homes.

@sydney_groyper Zombies are fictional monsters. People who become addicted to drugs have a medical dependency on the drugs and require help.

@ElectionDigest Yeah human beings willingly taking drugs when knowing the consequences. Good we should dehumanise them and call them zombies, sympathies have never stopped drug addicts from being degenerates.
