Your TTC is slow and City Hall's buying snacks.

Your TTC ride might be slow this morning, fam

Okay but real talk— it’s a busy morning out there, and if you’re heading downtown, you might hit some delays. Toronto Fire Services dispatch records show three active incidents right now. There’s an alarm single source that went off at 9:41 AM and another at 9:56 AM, both with locations pending. And get this, a rescue — elevator incident was dispatched at 9:46 AM, also location pending. So, if you're stuck somewhere, you know why. Stay patient, dude.

### What Council's Been Up To

Away from the immediate chaos, City Hall’s General Government Committee made some moves on May 11, 2026, according to the recent council votes data. Councillor Michael Thompson voted "Yes" on three key contracts that day, all of which carried with a 4-1 vote. These included an amendment to Blanket Contract 47025662 with Avron Foods Limited for snack foods for the Universal CampTO Child Nutrition program, and a non-competitive contract with RideShark Corporation for the Smart Commute Online Tool. Councillor Stephen Holyday voted "No" on both of those, but they still passed. They also approved a non-competitive contract with Toronto Metropolitan University to tackle the digital divide, which is huge for bridging the gap in access across the city, especially in neighbourhoods like mine in Scarborough.

Real talk, this is Toronto — stay up.
