Councillor Ainslie voted NO on that huge insurance contract. Why?

Your building permits are wild, fam

Okay but real talk—first things first, Toronto. There's an active emergency incident right now: a "Single Source Alarm" dispatched at 7:24:28 AM today, March 20, 2026. The location is still pending, so everyone keep an eye on official channels for updates. You know how these things can ripple through the morning commute, especially on the TTC. Stay safe out there, fam.

And speaking of things that make you go *ennama*, let's talk about City Hall for a sec. The General Government Committee voted on March 9, 2026, to award a Request for Proposal for insurance adjusting services (Doc5386487782) to ClaimsPro LP. Councillor Michael Thompson, Stephen Holyday, and Jon Burnside all voted Yes, while Paul Ainslie voted No. Councillor Lily Cheng was absent. The item still carried, 3-1. Real talk, this is just one of those behind-the-scenes moves that keeps the city running, but it’s always wild to see who's voting which way on these big contracts. What does this mean for our city's insurance future? Only time will tell, dude.

Real talk, this is Toronto — stay up. Catch the full lowdown with me and the crew every morning on mornings.live.
