What Emma is saying in this clip is not just incredibly brave, it is profoundly democratic. In a democracy, we must approach disagreement by recognizing the humanity of even the people we disagree with the most and, above all else, remaining in dialogue.
Emma Watson responds to JK Rowling saying she will never forgive the Harry Potter cast.
When asked about JK Rowling’s recent comments that she would never forgive her and her co-stars, Emma Watson shared a deeply emotional perspective on holding on to love despite opposing beliefs:
“I really don’t believe that by having had that experience and holding the love and support and views that I have, mean that I can’t and don’t treasure Joe and the person that I had personal experiences with. I will never believe that one negates the other and that my experience of that person I don’t get to keep and cherish… I hope people who don’t agree with my opinion will love me and I hope I can keep loving people who I don’t necessarily share the same opinion with.
For her to have written that character, created that world, given me an opportunity which to be honest barely exists in the history of English literature… how can I, there’s just no world in which I could ever cancel her out or cancel that out for anything. It has to remain true. It is true. I just don’t know what else to do other than hold these two seemingly incompatible things together at the same time and just hope maybe they will one day resolve or like cojoin themselves, and maybe accept that they never will. But that they can both still be true and I can love her, I can know she loved me, I can be grateful to her, I can know the things that she said are true and there can be this whole other thing.”

My team in P&R led the work to advance this project for a brief but critical moment during its transition from pilot to implementation. Happy to see the rollout happening now at scale. The signs look great!
The City of Toronto is updating its wayfinding sign system for parks, trails and natural areas. Signs provide directions, maps, rules, emergency codes and accessibility information through consistent, easy-to-understand designs. Visit toronto.ca/parkwayfinding for more details.

She’s a thing of beauty 😍
Lady of the Quays showed off during her recent sea trials on the Danube River🩰
She has now made her way from Romania to Turkey where she will be loaded on a ship, and in the coming weeks, will begin the journey to Toronto. Once in Toronto, she’ll start commissioning and testing before going into service in late spring 2027.

Maintain the secrecy of the vote. Voters cannot take photos or videos of their ballot or show their marked ballot to any person revealing how they voted. This is in the Municipal Elections Act, 1996.

GDP per capita on its own is a weak proxy for living standards between rich countries, anyways heres regions of North America based on the Human Development Index.
A lot of people speculating on what this increase in early voters might mean in terms of the final result but I haven’t seen anyone note the influence that this weekend’s Kids Vote may have had on turnout. These may just be parents who took their kids to vote & did so as well.
The City of Toronto says turnout is dramatically up at advance voting for the 2026 municipal election.
This year, 222,550 people voted early. That compares to:
2023 – 129,745 votes
2022 – 115,911 votes
2018 – 124,299 votes
2014 – 161,147 votes #ToPoli

🧵 I want to show you something Toronto has quietly built on Ookwemin Minising, because I think it says something about how we think of public space.
This is the Waterfront Neighbourhood Space.
And the entire premise is remarkably simple:
Public space should have people in it.
