@Pkbwood Good advice.
In Ontario, unfortunately, much of a candidate's honest answer about strengthening local democracy would have to be "take it up with your MPP."
Canadian municipalities have no rights or responsibilities that the province can't take away at whim, as Premier Ford did with our safe-injection sites, bike lanes, and school boards. 🙁

Great clip from @[email protected] which shows how cycling can be more useful than transit for car-free families. Especially for trip chaining. Add this to all the other reasons why the Ford government's war on bikes is irresponsible! #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl9-...

CW: #ONpoli cash bail?
"Ontario’s cash bail system won’t make communities safer.
Deterrence cannot be bought. This approach assumes that bail non-compliance is primarily a rational calculation. However, people may breach conditions because of unstable housing, addiction, mental health challenges or release conditions that are difficult to understand or realistically meet.
… making the penalty more severe does not solve the problem."

RE: https://mstdn.social/@dalfen/117231110554811425
Just like Discount Trump here in #ontario
Can't have bike lanes if they get in the way of burning fossil fuels. #topoli #onpoli #biketo -
One of the many upsetting things about the Ford government's attack on bike lanes:
Prabmeet Sarkaria is the minister of transportation. He keeps saying that the bike lanes are unused and cause congestion.
He is also the first turban-wearing Sikh to be appointed to cabinet.
Any casual user of Toronto's bike lanes immediately notices that the most frequent year-round uses of the bike lanes are delivery drivers, many of whom are of Punjabi origins, just like Sarkaria.
If Sarkaria doesn't want to hear "downtown activists", maybe he should hear from his own community.
The people who will be most harmed by the bike lane removal are the delivery drivers. When a Punjabi delivery driver is killed in a car accident because he was cycling in a car lane, his blood will be is on Sarkaria's hands.
I haven't seen cycling activists trying to organize Punjabi delivery guys. Probably has to do with race and class.
-
My take: Doug Ford's success is inextricably tied to car dependency.
Cars provide the illusion of independence: the driver does the work of piloting the machine, and is sealed off from everyone around them.
Car dependent suburbs are stratified by income, reducing the income & race diversity of who folk are exposed to. All manner of unfamiliar people start to appear scary.
Absent community, a folksy guy peddling low taxes and law & order looks just fine.

Ontario's cash bail law is unconstitutional – and Ford knows it. BUT "they deliberately undermine confidence in #courts, plow under the Charter and #civilliberties, and use real human suffering to manufacture a political grievance." https://www.canadianlawyermag.com/news/opinion/ontarios-cash-bail-law-is-unconstitutional-and-ford-knows-it/394586

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@theyycmonk/117055080830720983
The provinces that have implemented #American #booze bans have their critics here in #Canada, but you can't deny that it has given us a bargaining chip we didn't have before.
This is the #Trump playbook - create a problem, then offer to end it in exchange for concessions. Shocker- the bully hates being on the receiving end of his own bullshit.

Just got back from protesting #bill5. Got some supportive drivers, and 1 person even signed my petition. This is not supported by the people of #Ontario. Going out again tomorrow.

What does Ontario’s Progressive Conservative government have in common with the reigning New Democratic Party all the way across the country in B.C.?
In recent weeks, both have introduced legislation that could give extraordinary powers to sidestep environmental rules to allow for development. With these laws, both governments are writing themselves “blank cheques” — that’s according to critics who independently chose the exact same words in recent interviews with The Narwhal. @thenarwhal

The Green Plan -
Cutting Through Elections Noise, Friday 21 February 2025 at SDCWR
What: SDC Pre-Election Event To Focus On Community Power
When: 7:00pm to 9:00pm on Friday 21 February 2025
Where: Social Development Centre Waterloo Region (enter from Duke Street)
Location: 23 Water Street North, Kitchener, Ontario Map
Online: https://waterlooregion.org/sdc-pre-election-event-to-focus-on-community-power
Register: on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/cutting-through-elections-noise-a-forum-for-building-community-power-tickets-1248691492869
Contact: Phone: +1‑519‑579‑3800, E-mail: [email protected]The last-minute announcement of a provincial election has left many of us reeling. And there’s a growing sense that our governments and political processes don’t work for us.
But what if we can turn our collective anxiety into something productive? That is our hope with “Cutting Through the Noise: A Forum for Building Community Power.” Happening Friday 21 February 2025 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm, the event will create a space for us all to catch our breath, acknowledge our worries, and practise building local collective power in the face of systems that fail us.
Only together can we create the futures we want. Grassroots organizers, community groups, and residents from across Waterloo Region are welcome. Please RSVP today and share widely.
Things are not okay, and we can all feel it.
Mass layoffs seem imminent in the face of a looming tariff war. Housing costs are eating up an ever-increasing share of our incomes. Our schools are under-funded. Our hospitals are inundated. And homeless encampments have become entrenched, as more people are pushed into poverty. All of this against a backdrop of dizzying political announcements – new legislation, new funding, new election timelines – and yet, no improvement in the realities we see around us.
But history has shown us that social change is possible.
The rejection of encampment evictions at 100 Victoria St. in Kitchener. The overturning of land swaps at the heart of Ontario’s Greenbelt scandal. The change in a 13-year stance when Canada condemned Israeli settlements in occupied-Palestine. Time and again, we’ve seen deep-seated political forces fall apart in the face of sustained community action.
Let’s turn our collective anxiety into something productive.
Join us on Feb. 21 and together, we can combat the feeling that we’re on our own. We can listen and care for one another, even as our systems fail us. And in the midst of so much noise, we can practise building local, collective power to create the future we want.
Some Resources Your May Find Helpful in The Lead Up to Election Day
With the provincial election announced a mere 28 days before Election Day, we understand many voters don’t feel like they have enough time to get to know their candidates or the platforms of their respective parties. Here are some of the resources we’ve come across that you might find helpful:
- A primer of questions about decent work and cost of living (Justice for Workers)
- Candidate responses to questions compiled locally by One Millions Neighbours Waterloo Region
- Resources for voters who care about Good Food for All (Sustain Ontario)
- Search for your candidate’s campaign page (Elections Ontario)
- Promises made by each of the 4 parties (Global News)
- How to cast your vote on or before Election Day (Elections Ontario)
