HellsBelle@sh.itjust.worksto Canada@lemmy.ca•Toronto risks losing $30M in federal housing funds after council rejects citywide sixplex zoningEnglish61·1 day agoBut one Toronto MP, who asked not to be identified to speak freely, said the mayor didn’t act because of her electoral considerations.
The next municipal election is scheduled for fall 2026, and a recent poll found that 53 per cent of residents disapproved of Chow’s performance.
Chow was elected mayor in a 2023 byelection, winning just over 37 per cent of the vote. She dominated the central wards and won most of Scarborough, but lost in suburban Etobicoke and North York.
The areas that blocked sixplexes (Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, with the exception of Ward 23) are also the areas most resistant to density, and where council opposition was strongest.
The MP said Chow’s decision on sixplexes is an effort to “hold on to every vote” she won in the suburbs north of Bloor Street while reassuring her downtown base.
I hate that too often politicians base their decisions on what could happen in futire elections.
I mean almost none of them prioritize their civic duty and what’s best for their constituents anymore. It’s all “But what about my re-election!” bs now.

HellsBelle@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•‘Could become a death spiral’: scientists discover what’s driving record die-offs of US honeybeesEnglish34·4 days agoAdee says: “We had mites for 20 years, and we never had over 3% losses.” He believes there is a “combination of things” that makes the bees more stressed and the mites more deadly.
He cites the use of neonicotinoid insecticides in the US, which harm bees’ nervous system, paralysing and ultimately killing them. Some researchers have warned of neonicotinoids causing another “silent spring”, referring to Rachel Carson’s 1962 book on the effects of the insecticide DDT on bird populations.
Dave Goulson, professor of biology at the University of Sussex, says the study provided no evidence that the viral load was higher in weaker colonies. “Almost all bee colonies have these viruses, but they only do significant harm when the colony is stressed.”

TikTok is ending its sponsorship of several major Canadian arts organizations, including the Juno Awards and the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), as it prepares to shut down its Canadian operations under a federal directive.
The company said it is complying with an order issued by Ottawa last November, which requires TikTok to wind down operations in Canada due to national security concerns. As a result, the company says it will suspend all partnerships and funding initiatives in the country. So, in other words, its offices will close, but the actual TikTok app will remain in Canada. Go figure.
