#topoli New from me on @spacing: If we want to breath life and people back into Old City Hall, let's pedestrianize the two block-long streets that delineate its north and east sides, Albert and James. (No traffic jams will be injured in this project.) spacing.ca/toronto/2026/0…

Explain to me why there is a #Leafs discount to every player they trade and a premium to every player they acquire. This spans several GMs over a long period of time. It's not just a Tre or Dubas thing.

PM of Denmark Mette Frederiksen on Mark Carney: "The speech you gave in Davos, I have never experienced anything like this. I mean, people in Denmark have been talking about, they have been reading your speech. And I don't think I have ever heard so many reflections on a speech from a colleague."

I’ve been really fortunate to watch a couple of great urban documentaries in the past month. “Changing Lanes” (hosted by @anotherglassbox) and, tonight, “the Social Life of Small Urban Spaces” (hosted by @JohnLorinc).

Excellent article by @JohnLorinc that asks the question; can Ford legally rip up the tripartite agreement that exists between two federal entities? A court should definitely decide. #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

The politics of Island Airport during election year: Ford wants to expropriate the island airport during the mayoral election season — but does the province even have the legal right to take it over? #TOpoli @johnlorinc spacing.ca/toronto/2026/0…

I couldn’t be prouder of the boys on the U.S. Hockey team for their hard-fought Olympic victory. And I have to give credit where credit’s due: Well-played, Team Canada.

*thru gritted teeth* okay, this isn't the WORST argument. I actually agree with a lot of what John says here, but I don't think the decision-makers behind this decision will deliver the yields one would expect from a waterfront cultural venue.

#topoli #onpoli New from me in @TorontoStar: A contrarian take on the proposed Science Centre -- Toronto needs a major lakeside cultural venue, but the Ford govt sd also restore Raymond Moriyama's legacy building and turn it into a new community hub. thestar.com/opinion/contri…

Only John Tory could use 698 words to say "I'm not running for mayor" — and 471 before actually saying it.
