Toronto edition · Founding network open

Toronto is building. We’re checking the receipts.

A new Good News IRL city desk for verified progress across Toronto—reported with evidence, limitations and the people living the change.

01 · Evidence

Local optimism has to earn trust.

We separate completed results from announcements, include the honest catch, and return when the evidence changes.
