A sign Toronto’s election is unofficially underway? Attack ads target ‘failed mayor’ Olivia Chow The ads from A Better City Toronto hammer Mayor Olivia Chow over her record on public safety, affordability and gridlock.

Even though the 2026 election won't launch until May 1, ABC Toronto has already started launching attack ads against Mayor Olivia Chow. We need to not only ensure Chow gets re-elected, but also elect (and re-elect) progressives to council. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TTC #TOpoli www.thestar.com/news/gta/a-s...

I wonder what's the reason behind @joshmatlow.bsky.social voting against this snow clearing idea from NYC? Given the major snowfall from January which saw many sidewalks and bike lanes left unusable for weeks, it's worth pursuing whenever the City needs additional resources. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli

Poster from Open Streets Toronto and 8 80 Cities -- What are Open Streets? Open Streets are recurring programs that temporarily open streets to people a d close them to cars. Streets become places where people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds can walk, bike, play, socialize, and improve their health. They are an opportunity for people to experience their city streets in a whole new way. Over 100,000 people participated in 2019, and support for bringing the program back remains extremely strong across the city. The Open Streets Program supports community health, local businesses, and public space activation. Sign the Petition to help us bring back Toronto's Open Streets Program for 2026! Learn more: https://tinyurl.con/openstreetspetitionto -- Image of QR code linking to the petition

With spring in the air & this year being an election year, it's time to reshare the petition to bring back Open Streets to Toronto! The petition has 935 signatures, but we need at least 10,000 to get the attention of election candidates! #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli tinyurl.com/openstreetspetitionto

Great analysis by @jm-mcgrath.bsky.social on Doug Ford's transportation policies. Says "Every incremental car we add to the road makes the experience of driving worse for everyone. Traffic gets worse & gasoline prices get higher as more consumers chase a scarce good." #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #ONpoli

Shawn Micallef: Toronto’s snow removal this year left a lot to be desired — no matter what the city told you Toronto’s snow removal this year seems like a lost opportunity to show how a progressive elected official can fix things that are broken — and communicate that clearly.

Doug Ford takes issue with Toronto's 13-year timeline to build road safety measures Prmeier Doug Ford says Toronto City Hall is dysfunctional and if he were in charge, he could get the work done in months

Who does Doug Ford think he is; claiming he could get speed cameras installed "within months" and that Toronto city council was "the most dysfunctional political arena in the entire country"? He's the one who's causing the disfunction & dangerous streets! #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero
