Retrontario 📺🇨🇦✨

So excited to announce the publication of my first book! Releasing this Fall from @DundurnPress, ImagiNation: The Golden Age of Toronto Kids’ TV is a memory-filled trip for anyone who spent their childhood staring at the squawk box: imagination.retrontario.com

Before streaming, there was something magical about after-school TV. This week’s @ChamplainSoc Witness to Yesterday dives into the creativity, imagination, and lasting impact of Toronto’s kids’ TV golden age. Listen at: bit.ly/WTYm126 @retrontario @dundurnpress

@MilHistNow It’s true! Can’t imagine that happening today, tho.

According to popular legend, Heinz Canada pulled this 1980 ketchup ad because the music brought back painful memories for WW1 vets. That may or may not be true, but I do remember that the song would bring tears to my grandfather's eyes. Via @retrontario #throwbackthursday

From a 13-year-old kid dreaming about Toronto to working to make it the best city in the world again, this is about raising the bar and choosing real change over drift.

@VoterBarrie @ElectionDigest Yep that is stolen from our account, no credit. What a tool

@ElectionDigest The Blue Jays footage seems to be from 1983, three years before Brad Bradford was born. The cropped clip seems to be from the @retrontario Youtube account: youtube.com/watch?v=a5ZM5e…

In case folks don't know, it's illegal to spend money on a campaign before registering as a candidate, which #BadBradford can't do until May 1, 2026. So, how has he paid for the creation of this video?
