- Big turnout here at @CycleToronto, joining new mayor @oliviachow on her ride to her first day of work at City Hall
00:00 - I fact checked everything @CPC_HQ leader @erinotoole said last week. I found 7 false claims in 213 mins of public appearances. I also deemed 6 separate claims to be a stretch. That works out to a “dishonesty density” of about 1 false claim every 30 mins.
- Scenes from the Starbucks at College & Dovercourt, which uses Bell WiFi. People are sitting on the sidewalk outside with their laptops #RogersOutage @TorontoStar
- My fact check on @NDP leader @theJagmeetSingh for @TorontoStar In total, I found five false claims in 231 minutes of public appearances. That works out to a “dishonesty density” of about one false claim every 46 minutes.
- BREAKING: 2,200 GO Transit workers will strike tomorrow after failing to reach a deal with Metrolinx, according to ATU Local 1587

- My final fact check, on Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, is in @TorontoStar today. In 248 minutes of public appearances last week, Trudeau made 5 false claims and stretched the truth 6 times. That's a “dishonesty density” of about 1 false claim/50 mins
- Important clarification on some of the messaging from the @NDP this week: Trudeau didn't cut health care transfers to provinces - he kept a Harper-era policy that cut the yearly growth rate of such transfers. Currently, transfers grow by at least 3%/year. #FactCheck #elxn44
- This is Kartik Saini, the 20 yr old student who was struck and killed by a truck driver in midtown Toronto Wednesday. His family, who lives in India, is shattered. "In Canada everyone follow traffic rule ... why this happened?" one relative asked me. thestar.com/news/gta/2022/…
- I fact-checked everything Green leader @AnnamiePaul said last week for @TorontoStar. I found 4 false claims in 184 minutes of public appearances, working out to a "dishonesty density" of about one false claim/47 minutes. Read my full analysis here:
