@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. 🙁

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 PR supporters: here is a concrete action.

If you support proportional representation and are eligible to join the Ontario Liberal Party, join through the official OLP page:

https://action.ontarioliberal.ca/f/join

Then contact EVERY leadership candidate. Tell them you joined and that support for PR and cross-party cooperation will influence your leadership vote.

Candidate positions are still evolving. That makes now the time to push.

A quiet supporter is easy to overlook. An organized bloc of new members writing every campaign is not.

What do we do now that Bill 60 is taking effect? Do we go back home afraid about the roof over our heads? Do we go back to accepting neglectful landlords and endless rent increases?

Instead, let's take action. Let's get organized. We know we are stronger together. Join the Toronto Tenant Union at our orientation!

📆 DATE: May 2nd, 2026

🕓 TIME: 4 PM

📍 WHERE: York South-Weston Community Hub, 2575 Eglinton Ave W, Toronto ON M6M 1T3

🔗 REGISTER: https://www.tenantunion.ca/orientation

We’ll share food, get to know some of the other people who have collectively knocked 10,000 doors to fight Bill 60, and discuss how YOU can get involved in ongoing tenant organizing.

Come learn about what we can do together to build tenant power with our neighbours and force real change in Toronto!

After the orientation please stick around as we'll host a family friendly movie screening at 6 pm.

Four former provincial legislators are coming together to support our campaign because they know that bold ideas and big organizing are how we win.

Marilyn, Jim, Peter and Gene understand that we need a vision to tackle the cost of living crisis, the climate emergency and inequality all at the same time. In doing so, we can inspire millions of Canadians with a clear offer that cannot be confused with the Liberals or Conservatives.

I’m grateful for the confidence of these leaders from Atlantic Canada, Saskatchewan and Ontario who know that our campaign is one for every region and every community, from coast to coast to coast.

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
