It's sad that nobody is really catching the vision for Doug Ford's island airport...really could be a game changer for the city of Toronto...

#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.

I'm a Canadian who has lived and worked in the U.S. for the last 12 years. The differences between our two cultures are often imperceptibly subtle, and then, suddenly, they're there.
Pew Research Center@pewresearch

We asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country. The U.S. is the only place we surveyed where more adults describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad than good. See our full morality report here: pewresearch.org/religion/2026/…

*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.
John Lorinc@JohnLorinc

#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.
