  1. Excellent analysis of the island airport jet proposal by UofT Professor Emeritus of Management Sandford Borins, including the fact that Pearson can ultimately handle 100 million passengers! With Pearson’s LIFT, Why Expand Billy Bishop? www.sandfordborins.com/2026/05/14/w... #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

  2. The Scarborough subway extension is now expected to be delayed to 2033 per some internal #TTC documents. Subway vs LRT talk aside, if John Tory didn't bring up that boneheaded one stop subway idea, this project may have been done by now! #shame #TOpoli #ONpoli www.thestar.com/news/gta/sca...

  5. Forget the internal fighting inside the Ontario Liberal Party. The real alternative in Scarborough Southwest is Fatima Shaban of the Ontario NDP. Fatima is a working class mom, tenant and has lived in the riding since she was a kid. She knows the daily struggles of everyday folks because she has the same struggles everyone has.

  10. My teen got his drivers learning permit yesterday. This is new:

    "As of May 11, 2026, when you apply for your class G or class M licence, you will need to declare that:
    - Ontario is your primary place of residence
    - your presence in Canada is legal"

    It was passed in October as part of the "Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act"

    Seems like a way to speed up deportation. Which is more Carney's thing. But no other province has added it.

  11. From @sjamieit.bsky.social:

    The City of Ottawa posted the raw speed data from before and after Doug Ford banned speed cameras and the effect is so obvious it's not even necessary put a line marking when that happened.

    This chart shows the percentage of drivers going 15km/h or more over the posted limit.

    The data: open.ottawa.ca/datasets/52f347

  12. As much as I like Nate, he wasn't doing himself any favours by openly admitting he wants to use the SSW seat to gun for the #OLP leadership and by asking nomination rivals to step aside. However, Marit & the #ONDP need to ask serious questions given they are behind the leaderless Liberals. #ONpoli

  15. It does make me wonder what it would take for left leaning Liberals to get behind Marit Stiles who has been doing an excellent job of holding the Ford government accountable. Then again, it does sound embarrassing for Marit to be behind the leaderless Liberals in the polls. #ONpoli #OLP #ONDP

  19. So the Ontario Liberal Party's knight in shining armour lost the nomination race in Scarborough Southwest by about 20 votes to a Domino's Pizza franchise owner.

    That's okay. The anti-Ford vote can coalesce around ONDP candidate Fatima Shaban, who unlike the others actually lives in the riding and is a working class mom and tenant activist

  24. Next to be fucked over by #Microsoft #AI #datacentres: #Leaside, #Vaughn, #Markham, #Etobicoke #Toronto #ONPoli
    This article has some incredible quotes, Chow is mostly in favour of these if we can "get them right" and also thinks somehow this is good for digital sovereignty and some AI economics guy from the UofT Avi Goldfarb warns we may fall behind if we don't build baby build.

  25. Alberta is taking a page from Doug Ford's Ontario by planning to introduce legislation to stop new bike lanes and rip out existing ones. I encourage #YYCbike & #YEGbike folks to fight this boneheaded move tooth and nail while we #BikeTO & #ottbike folks continue to resist at our end. #ONpoli #ABpoli

  30. From a year ago #ldnont #onpoli so Andrew got up after a year under a bridge to squeak in the Commons. Coincidentally we drew this cartoon after his election. Our conservatives still chasing the homeless from the streets? Yeppers. And the feds have been funding the successful mobile shelters.

  32. RE: mstdn.ca/@c_9/1165328760409122

    Doug Ford’s buddies and the federally-controlled port authority have an airport expansion idea where the noise and pollution are so bad, keeping your windows open might be a problem. Not exaggerating.

    Call your MP and MPP.

  33. The Port Authority sent a letter to the Planning & Housing Committee requesting future waterfront residents agree to “warning clauses” about airport noise, and suggests buildings be designed so windows can stay closed.

    If Canada were the fascist state Trump and Danielle Smith are trying to make, they would stop the subversion that Smith and Trump are imposing in Alberta and Canada.

  35. I find it surprising that at least in #Ontario, there seems to be a growing popularity or at least acceptance of compulsory school attendance. We have some of the most extreme attendance laws in Canada, literally throwing kids in jail.

    I have done a chart and believe compulsory school attendance infringes prima facia on many charter rights. To the best of my knowledge, despite commentary in 2006, there has never been a constitutional challenge of such legislation in Ontario.

  36. Trying to make a doctor's appointment in Ontario for a fairly serious condition.

    On the third attempt I was finally able to leave a voicemail message, after previous attempts that said the mailbox was full.

    I've been waiting for all day for a call back.

    Thanks Doug Ford for underfunding health care.
