A TTC streetcar *looks* big, but its total space footprint in traffic replaces just 5 stopped cars or ~2 moving ones. A street car can be nearly empty and still be more efficient than cars.

The whole downtown core of my isometric Toronto is drawn: Bathurst to the Don, Bloor to the harbour. 12.66 km² as one 256-megapixel image, about 2% of the city, made in one evening on my laptop. Explore it: iso.sloptoronto.ca

Average Toronto traffic jam caused by bike lanes Just kidding. It’s actually usually illegally parked cars: - blocking a delivery truck turning onto the road - causing a Taxi about to drive onto sidewalk to get around - resulting in a back up of various vehicles behind

Meanwhile, every intersection in Toronto between 4-6pm. You have to be a real clown to think that it’s pedestrians crossing against a flashing red hand that are the problem.
The ticket for starting the walk across a downtown Toronto intersection, between 4-6pm, when the red hand is flashing & the clock is at “2”, should be $46,932 for a FIRST offence.

University Avenue during rush hour. Better rip out those bike lanes and relieve the horrendous traffic.

😬 Trump sounds like hell during bizarre pre-rally gaggle 😬 Speaking to reporters before traveling to Georgia for a rally, Trump could barely speak, but what he said was nutso. He claimed his uncle invented radar, admitted he told the DOJ to sue Alaska over the election, said he could "violate" Gov. Prizker and send troops into Chicago, and had a weirdly defensive and contradictory answer when asked who he golfed with today. Supercut:

Tower counts and skyline photos can’t hide the fact that VMC is density without the walkability. Pinned by two freeways, a massive interchange and rail yard, VMC’s condo buyere will be forever car dependent —or else face isolation from the surrounding urban fabric.

Olivia Chow says Brad Bradford’s plan to freeze taxes in 2027 can only be accomplished by “borrowing a whole lot of money" and leaving “future generations” with the bill. cp24.com/local/toronto/2026/…

Brad Bradford wants to hand over our drinking water to Doug Ford — so it can be privatized. This isn’t for you, it’s for Brad’s investor friends. This will drive up your water bill and make our drinking water less safe. I will never privatize our water.

TW Last week our client was cycling in Hamilton & passed James Newlands in his pickup. Words were exchanged, Newlands sped unsafely past our client then brake checked. Shocking video confirmed Mr. Newlands intentions & shed light on this terrible incident of road rage 1/3
