Screenshot of text from article posted below: “For decades, coal-burning power plants in Senator Moreno’s state of Ohio have been spewing dangerous smog, soot & toxic pollution into Ontario, Quebec, and eastern Canadian provinces,” said John Walke, senior attorney and director of the federal clean air program at the Natural Resources Defense Council. “One wonders if he is willing to accept reciprocal Canadian sanctions for that pollution to match his reckless messaging bill.”

I wish bikeshare bikes had odometers to track how many km they’ve travelled. I’m pretty sure this one was fresh out of the bike factory - never had such a shiny new bike before. If it were a car it would have still had that “new vehicle” smell LOL

It’s hard to pick just one! 1. From inside the skydome 2. From the Gerrard Street bridge 3. Between the TD towers (this view is gone now thanks to the new TD building that is now in front of the tower 4. The way it pop up unexpectedly in random spots in Toronto (this one is from downtown as well)

Every garbage can in Riverdale Park east looks like this tonight. People are trying to trying to dispose of their garbage in the park but the trash cans won’t let them. Good luck trying to stuff a pizza box into one of those tiny openings!

At the national gallery in Dublin: it’s usually in a box to protect it from light and is only opened 2x per week for one hour at a time. We happened to be on Dublin at the right time on the right day and a large crowd had gathered for the “reveal”

I still can’t get over how big that crowd was - photos from ground level absolutely do not convey the size (I was at university and Adelaide)

Picture of the crowd during the raptors championship parade in 2019. People are were hanging off streetlights and perched on roofs

So many people were commuting by bike to the financial district in Toronto today that there was a line up at the bike share bike valet on Adelaide street (the dock was full and the guy working there couldn’t move the bikes out of the docks quickly enough)
