Edit: this isn't even all the police cars; I've heard people estimate ~30.

Why do people fucking talk to cops at protests (either chit-chat or attempts to goad/argue with them)
Just please don't

A manager at the Burrito Boyz jovially invites the construction workers for food afterwards.
A CP24 reporter is doing a spot.
Edit: CP24 is now interviewing the Burrito Boyz manager.

A police officer firmly informed me that if I "took the lane" and rode 1) in the middle of the lane and 2) not in the lane nearest the curb, I would be arrested for "interference". 🤨
I think I have probably antagonized them enough for one day so will find some folks to leave with presently

Postscript: FEESH.
Also not far past that I saw several large hawks circling in the sky and yelled "HAWKS" to some nearby construction workers doing sewer work and they looked up and saw the hawks

Post-postscript: Sidney Crosby made the most adorable little "mrrowp" when I got in the door.
Also, still time to do your bit for the cause if you can
bunnyzombiebunnyhero@timeloop.cafeOct 14, 2026, 6:00 PM@nev people need to remember to shut the fuck up!

Oct 14, 2026, 6:25 PM@nev I hope those a-holes feel like they have to fight for every inch they're taking.

@gaditb well they don't
A Sysadmin for HireNotYourSysadmin@infosec.exchangeOct 14, 2026, 7:47 PM@nev I'm forcibly reminded of a protest in San Francisco a few years ago where they had a few hundred cyclists join a group ride. Whenever they encountered a stop sign, one by one, they stopped, looked both ways, signalled and then proceeded. I'm wondering if a similar protest might be warranted in this case.

@Pionir @NotYourSysadmin lol, this is Toronto. Some people raised here don't even have drivers' licences. I haven't driven in possibly decades and would not trust myself on the road at this point
Pumpkin Spicy Catcatzilla@toot.catOct 14, 2026, 10:43 PM@nev Thank you SO much for doing the right thing and bringing some light to my day
- Oct 14, 2026, 10:49 PM
@catzilla very glad you appreciate it because this feels very futile and unrewarding
- Pumpkin Spicy Catcatzilla@toot.catOct 14, 2026, 10:53 PM
@nev Yeah I know. I cannot be there but I am following you and the cycle advocacy on IG.
There is a lot happening right now, the bike lanes thing and my home country swan diving into far right stravaganza. Any little good thing I see gives me some, not gonna say hope, but energy? - Oct 14, 2026, 11:09 PM
@catzilla I'll take it.
At the very least we can do our best to show any future historians that this was not universally accepted

Stacey Cornelius 🇨🇦StaceyCornelius@zeroes.caOct 14, 2026, 10:47 PM@nev Glad to hear you got home safe. Also, Sidney Crosby 😻 Best name ever.
- Oct 14, 2026, 11:08 PM
@StaceyCornelius I cannot take credit for the name, he came with it!
Marcos Dionemdione@en.osm.townOct 15, 2026, 11:03 AM@nev sorry, it's illegal to behave like a vehicle? Or is it just more cop abuse of power?
Krupokrupo@infosec.exchangeOct 15, 2026, 12:50 AM@nev well that burrito store location is dead to me now
