Today we invite you to slow down and listen.
On this, the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we're proud to highlight CBC's First Nations, Métis and Inuit-led podcasts.
Today also happens to be #InternationalPodcastDay.
(An #NDTR thread)🧡

COVID-free for the first time since March 26, 2020! 🎉 This is the first time the MSICU at Toronto General does not have any COVID patients. We are very grateful for the extraordinary MSICU team! #ThankYou
A huge shoutout to @ETHPnews and @MGHToronto for the highly organized and efficient pop-up clinic at Warden Hilltops yesterday. Great staff working there all around. And it wouldn’t have been possible without @VaxHuntersCan of course for the heads up on expanded eligibility.
Testing an IFTTT-notification based on postal code keywords (M4C), because this is what the vaccine hunt has come to.

Re-reading @guygavrielkay’s wonderful Under Heaven and was delighted to hear @99piorg’s “12 Heads from the Garden of Perfect Brightness.” While certainly not contemporaneous, enjoying the immersion in Chinese dynastic history and the long thread therein. Cc @romanmars @vivianhle – at East End-Danforth, Toronto
Side note: “The Garden of Perfect Brightness” is just about a perfect title for a @guygavrielkay novel. Perhaps a sequel to River of Stars? 🤞🏼

The Dundas St. East Bike Lanes, one of the oldest commuter bike lanes in Toronto, will be getting an upgrade between Broadview Ave and Kingston Road. This includes concrete curbs, bollards, and buffer zones in areas that can be upgraded immediately.

Notice how police were deployed in large numbers to arrest pro-democracy demonstrators while armed white mobs are allowed to disrupt the ballot counting process without police interference.
Many of Toronto’s bike lanes are not permanent, they are part of #ActiveTO. If City Council does not hear support from constituents, they could be ripped out faster than they were installed. Sign the petition to keep ActiveTO now. cycleto.ca/KeepActiveTO

Drivers, remember to share the road with cyclists. When turning right, make sure you do not cut off a cyclist by checking your mirrors and blind spot. #sharetheroad

My @TorontoStar column this week: tens of thousands of cyclists were counted riding closed-to-cars sections of Toronto roads. No one should be surprised.
The trend is clear — make streets safe and welcoming for cyclists, and they’ll show up.

Ahead of tomorrow’s #ActiveTO & #bikeTO lane vote at Council we’ve seen a lot of support from local businesses. #BikesMeanBusiness in our city & around the world. Businesses are looking forward to people riding into their neighbourhoods soon.
