Toronto Today's estimate that counterprotesters outnumbered the racists 10 to 1 last Saturday is plausible. The photos I've seen don't really do justice to the size of the crowd. But the racists coming in from the east would have seen the size of the crowd as they walked past us. Unfortunately those walking in from the west may not have realized just how badly outnumbered they were. That morso than than any rational debate is more likely to change the minds of those authoritarians. But we got to see we're not alone, and the festival deeper in the park was able to go ahead.

@pauliexoxoxo Welcome Paulie! You'll want to make a list with # Introduction (no space) so people can find you.
There's quite a few people from Toronto here on the Fediverse and I'm sure some of them rave. Lots of queer people here!
Here are some other tags that might be useful: #Toronto #TorontoEvents #topoli
You can follow the tags and the posts will show up on your feed, and that'll help you to find more people to follow. Takes a touch of effort to get a good feed going, but you'll get there soon enough.

My blog post about @cycletoronto.bsky.social's "Rally and Ride for Eglinton" is now ready for your viewing pleasure. Let's keep up the pressure on the City to make sure the promised bike lanes get installed NOW! #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2025/09/rall...
Rally and Ride for Eglinton

Eglinton & Holly @ 6PM
I'll be walking out the door for this momentarily. No Cargot Robbie today, she's in the shop.
Because the city could proceed with the planned EglintonTOday redesign. Ban parking on Eglinton and add a bus lane until the LRT is oprational. Instead the city is proceeding with a more expensive, politically risky 2-stage redesign.
So we rally to remind council that we're waiting, but not patiently.
CoSocialShow Up Toronto (@showuptoronto@cosocial.ca)Today at 6PM: Rally and Ride for Eglington (Eglington and Holly). Tell the city you support bike lanes on Eglington! Toronto City Council has already approved the bike lanes between Keele to Mt Pleasant. Delaying them further will cost more, snarl traffic twice, keep people unsafe, and risk provincial interference under Bill 212. Come join Cycle Tornto for a rally and ride to tell the city no more delays! https://www.cycleto.ca/rally_for_eglinton #toronto
Hey #BikeTO! @cycletoronto.bsky.social's "Rally and Ride for Eglinton!" is happening TONIGHT! Meet 6 PM at Eglinton & Holly. Let's call out the City of Toronto's plans to repave Eglinton without the long promised bike lanes. #TOpoli #VisionZero

@jarek @the5thColumnist @mayintoronto Willowdale has so many streets without sidewalk. Some of those street are even leading to a park!
And then in Don Valley North within Bayview Village neighborhood, found 2 instances of sidewalk stopping mid street. Can only imagine residents refusing them. How can they be allowed to refuse I don’t know.

Bluesky Social · Brian F. Kelcey (@stateofthecity.bsky.social)Toronto, ON mayoral. I'll try to be polite, and put it this way: I've seen stories like this about John making political decisions *for most of my career, and I'm old.* Example: in the 2010 race John was in and out and in and out. 58 sources were granted anonymity -

John Tory spent 8 years cutting (after inflation) housing, transit, pools, parks. Secret talks with Ford for more mayoral power. Ran for re-election and quit within hours of someone asking about his affair.
Starved Toronto and ran away. We don’t need Tory back.
From Steve Munro: ‘TTC's Strategic Planning Committee meeting to discuss ridership growth was hijacked by members one might expect to support a "progressive" agenda. Shameful.’

What a surprise! More in-office work means more congestion, noise, air pollution, climate change and wasted time. Instead of more WFH Doug orders congestion.
Guess he will "solve" it with a fictional 401 tunnel and illegal bike lane removals. #ONpoli #TOpoli #ClimateChange

Bloody hell this is maddening. The province builds bike lane segments in front of every new LRT station, expecting the city to build the rest.
Now the city is saying it won’t do that, because the province doesn’t like bike lanes anymore?#Bill212
So now cars don’t have their lane AND cyclists are unsafe. Great job everyone.
