Classy to the end. I'm really proud to have worked on @JoshMatlow's campaign, offering the city of Toronto someone and something to vote *for*. I look forward to Toronto's ongoing evolution as a city and as a community. The future is bright!
Josh Matlow@JoshMatlow

Congratulations to Mayor-Elect @oliviachow! I look forward to working constructively and collaboratively with you to build a better Toronto and to face our city’s challenges together.

✅Donated! @JoshMatlow ran a progressive policy-driven campaign that was ethical, grassroots and community driven. If you can help I think it's money well spent. PS - first time I've ever donated AFTER an election to a candidate.
Josh Matlow@JoshMatlow

We were able to drive the conversation during the election about ideas, and the investments needed to deliver the services we deserve. But our efforts were expensive & we still have bills to pay. I’d be grateful if you would assist in closing my campaign. votematlow.ca/donate

That @JoshMatlow refuses to give up on bringing down Gardiner East is stubbornness Toronto needs. The rebuild’s a $650 million waste of valuable space and “But we already made this crap decision and want to talk about something else now” isn’t a convincing argument, councillors.
David Rider@dmrider

From @BenSpurr. Coun. @JoshMatlow is known as a politician who brings facts, speaks his mind and rarely backs down. If elected mayor next Monday, could city council's lone wolf transform himself into an effective team leader? thestar.com/news/gta/2023/… via @torontostar

@EricaEhm I couldn't agree more. I'm not interested in seeing candidates lob attacks and insults at one another. I'm interested in intelligent discussion and thoughtful comparison. (And if a candidate doesn't have an intelligent or thoughtful response, well...)

Mayoral debates don't work. I'm tired of seeing the mayoral candidates put in the position to fight each other. We're perpetuating the adversarial cultural we see in city hall. I want to see how candidates collaborate, listen and lead. #TOpoli

I believe that a better Toronto is possible. But we’ll need leadership with an honest and realistic plan to build the safe, affordable and livable city we need. That’s why I’m running to be your mayor. thestar.com/opinion/contri…

Genuine LOL at the interrobang at the end of the "What is happening?!" prompt when I opened Twitter this morning. I feel you, Twitter.

As a parent, I want my child to be proud of herself. And no matter who she loves, I will love her unconditionally. As leaders, we have a responsibility to ensure that schools are safe and supportive places. Doug Ford isn’t just a bully, he’s a coward. Our kids deserve better.

NEW - Premier Ford: “I have no comment on that” when reporters asked him if he disagrees with the York Catholic board not raising the pride flag.

Please read this if you’re considering Mark Saunders to run this city. Either he doesn’t have a handle on Toronto finances or he’s not being transparent. Neither bodes well.
David Rider@dmrider

Toronto mayoral candidate Mark Saunders is vowing to cut waste to rescue the city’s pandemic-ravaged budget — but voters must wait until after the election to know what he would cut thestar.com/news/gta/2023/…

Some pollsters work for political parties and candidates during campaigns. If they also run publicly reported polls during a campaign, should they be obliged to declare a conflict of interest?

I know my thread has been all politics lately, but I deleted this bird app from my phone a year or so ago and now I can't show you any pictures of the awesome cafes I've been in this month, so political retweets it is!

#TOpoli Someone please explain to me how Olivia Chow is polling so high? Her platform is just plain weak. Today she announces opening libraries on Sundays. @JoshMatlow announced this on April 14 PLUS he showed how he would pay for it. Here’s that thread:
Josh Matlow@JoshMatlow

As Mayor, I will increase access to the Toronto Public Library and its vital services by opening all 100 branches on Sundays. Open Libraries will be funded by $1.5 million from the $115-million Community Health and Safety Fund.

It finally feels like summer in Toronto. I’m so proud to be from such a vibrant city full of culture, life and wonderful people. Thanks to @torontoWOTS and the Davisville Fun Fair for a lovely Saturday.
