So sad to hear that Metroland will be shutting down the printed versions of 70+ Ontario weekly papers. This is a policy failure, and we all saw it coming from miles away.

The international students thing is such a scandal. We've decided to fund higher ed by selling kids overseas better odds at permanent residency, creating a huge, precarious workforce in the process. I wrote about it 2 years ago, and it's only gotten worse. thewalrus.ca/the-shadowy-bu…

In a field of 17 candidates, I came 8th. And for the second time in three years, I beat UKIP and Piers Corbyn in a democratic election. If that’s not a sign of hope, nothing is.

You want it, we got it: more municipal politics coverage is coming your way from The Local. Tune in for our bi-weekly column on Olivia Chow's first months as mayor, and the biggest issues and decisions at city hall.

The Neighbourhood Land Trust has been snapping up buildings across Toronto, taking them off the market and into the community. Over 200 units later, they say they’re ready to do much more. thelocal.to/neighbourhood-…

Good Morning #Toronto, I hope everyone is going out to vote, and encouraging their communities to go out and vote - we have an opportunity here, a chance to dismantle and rebuild the system to finally work for us too. Find a poll near you, bring ID & vote. #TOpoli #TorontoMayor

#Toronto, This election let's vote for us, let's stop looking for saviours, and take matters into our own hands. Every candidate down to Olivia Chow, cannot tell you what the day to day life of a poor person in this city is like. My lived experience makes a difference. #TOpoli
