Digging around for a cable in a drawer and found this. Still relevant, so enjoy.

Clearly, somebody got an angry call from Tory's office. Doubtless, the TTC managers will deploy a team to analyze the video in excruciating detail and hunt for whoever did the PSA. Serving the political masters to the detriment of riders and the city.

IMO the TTC is facing an existential crisis right now rivalling the sleeping ticket collector from 2010. It is primarily John Tory, Rick Leary and the TTC board's fault. #JohnTory #WorstMayorEver #TorysToronto #Toronto #TTC #AusterityTO #TOPoli

Just did one of those mass email tool things with a pre-written letter regarding protected cycling infrastructure on Yonge St.

Had to edit the "continue to show leadership" bit down to "show some leadership".

The Star has you covered on what was a busy budget day at city hall. Here's @[email protected] and @[email protected] on how a historically high 7% property tax increase will still leave the city with a $933M shortfall in 2023.

RT @DesmondCole: so @johntory says there aren't enough cops to patrol the city? at yesterday's board meeting, at least a dozen armed police were prowling outside the meeting room like wolves

they don't care that this contradicts the argument about being under-resourced. it's a show of force

RT @[email protected]: From earlier. Notable that despite the grand canyon of a budget hole Toronto is facing, neither the mayor nor city staff are calling for an immediate review of revenue tools that could help to start to fill that hole.

Electing a radio talk show host and Rogers executive leaves the city careening off a fiscal cliff. #Toronto #Budget #TorysToronto #AusterityTO #TOPoli #WorstMayorEver #JohnTory #CityInDecline

"Looking at these budget numbers, it’s really hard to imagine a scenario where Tory is able to leave in 2026 with city finances (and city services) in a good, sustainable place. This is all very grim. And it’s going to be worse for the next mayor."
