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.

The Doug Ford government has so underfunded Ontario hospitals that St. Catharines is currently asking for linen donations for their NICU.
Ford spent $25,000 of taxpayers' money for a stupid, useless sign not 15 minutes away, but no blankets for babies.

Suggestions for fighting back against the #Ontario government in its culture war on cyclists and bike lanes.
"Perhaps everyone who rides now should get in a car. Imagine that protest."

“For kids like my son, the current state of the public school system is setting them up to fail in life."
I could write these words. It's why, when we understood that staying in TDSB would leave our son functionally illiterate, we moved him to a private school for kids with LDs.

@dyckron
Very good idea!! It would help us unshackle the chains binding us to the US.When I trace Canadian companies back to their owners, or board of directors and CEOs, I am too often surprised at the number of Americans who are cashing in and influencing our businesses.
And when they have contracts with any level of our governmentthat affects our representatives political opinions and decisions.
Looking at you Doug Ford!! -

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

NDP politician said Carney must not burn the world, and a reporter laughed and asked if he really meant Carney was trying to "burn the world"
The answer is yes. Yes is the answer.
Carney does not have our permission.
We THOUGHT he was sane.🇨🇦

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.

No wonder we are zionist.

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.

@cbcnews Seems #police, #publicservants and others in positions of trust in #DougFord 's #Ontario are just like many in #Trump 's #USA. #Leadership matters especially when local leaders are dismissed by those with greater power.

From #Palestine solidarity to tuition justice, student unions have long led the charge. #Bill33 aims to end that. #onpoli
https://rabble.ca/politics/canadian-politics/bill-33-and-doug-fords-war-on-students/ -
I just read the full text of the Ontario Government’s next odious bit of legislation, Bill 33, currently in second reading in the house.
Hypocritically called the “Supporting Children and Students Act” (from the same government who slashed $1500 per student from school budgets), this act purports to make matters better by:
1. Giving the minister of education the power to override any school board on any decision any time he feels like it. (They use the undefined term “public interest”) or just to tell them what to do.
2. Require schools to allow police “resource officers”
3. Give the minister pre-approval and veto powers on school names, even
4. Require Universities to evaluate students based on “individual merit” only, without defining what that means, and to publish their particular criteria.
These are all terrible ideas for reasons I am happy to rant about, the main two being: they are antidemocratic, and they will not fix any of the real problems that students are facing. It’s just an ideological power grab.
Here’s the text of the bill:

@Mikal #Starlink was an issue in the provincial #Ontario election last week - @fordnation said he would tear up the $100M deal he signed last November when tariffs were announced but it was back on after a pause was announced. Tariffs are back on but the deal is also still on, apparently.
A Canadian alternative through #Telesat should be online next year.

Ontario Line construction site mismanagement led this week to someone being run over in a crosswalk just blocks from my home, in a residential area with hundreds of kids.
The truck wasn’t following the official route, and this petition from the Pape Village Safety Action Council is pushing for better.
