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.

Another day, another crash on Parkside Drive! While Doug Ford and Prabmeet Sarkaria deserve the bulk of the blame through their speed camera and bike lane bans, the City also deserves blame for dragging their feet. #shame #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero www.instagram.com/p/DcjYztqxSD...

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.

I am conflicted by today's news that #corrupt #premiere #DougFord and #queenspark are going on break for TWENTY-ONE WEEKs.
On one hand, 21 weeks. That's a pretty good vacation. And you voted yourselves a pay raise not a year or two ago? Fuck you #OPC and Douggie.
On the other hand, if they're not sitting they can't be actively fucking up my province. And all this time not actively ruining the province can be spent actively grifting more money in secret corrupt ways that we will now never find out about because all the records are sealed from the public... forever.
But no, please go on about McGuinty's fucking gas plant emails being horrendous crime. #ontario #onpoli

@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.

I do find it odd how Liberal Party leader John Fraser keeps hounding Caroline Mulroney specifically for the Skills Development Scandal and not the Minister of Finance, Minister of Labour, or Premier who are all white dudes: https://youtu.be/Ez0palMkJDw

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 #Saugeen #FirstPeoples won their lawsuit 👏 Appeals court dismissed #Ontario government's appeal. Justice was finally served.*
Ontario's top court has upheld a lower court's ruling that a strip of #SaubleBeach, a popular Ontario tourist spot, has always belonged to a local #FirstNation.
In a 121-page decision on Monday, the Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed appeals brought by the Municipality of South #BrucePeninsula, the Ontario government, and several local families to the April 2023 ruling by Superior Court Justice Susan Vella.
"Justice was done today," said Saugeen First Nation Chief Conrad Ritchie in a statement, calling it a "powerful moment" for the Saugeen community.
In her 2023 decision, Vella ruled that "Chi-Cmiinh," a roughly two-kilometre strip of beach at the northern end of Saugeen Reserve No. 29, had always belonged to Chippewas of Saugeen First Nation, and that the federal government breached its treaty rights.
The Crown, Vella wrote, failed to protect and preserve the #treaty it signed in 1854, Treaty 72, in which the First Nation and neighbouring #Chippewas of Nawash surrendered Saugeen Peninsula, excluding five #Indigenous reserve territories. One would become #ReserveNo29.

The Killing of the Science Centre
The 55-year old museum shuttered without warning one Friday in June. Then devastated staff were given four months to dismantle it. A former employee on the last days of a beloved institution.

Well isn't this unsurprising: Doug Ford's staff spent over 10 days planning their fake Ontario Science Centre emergency messaging.
Global News: "The Ford government’s controversial decision to permanently close the Ontario Science Centre was made at least one week before employees and the public were informed, Global News has learned, raising questions over why it was shuttered so urgently at the beginning of the summer."

Premier #DougFord combined the Ministry of Legislative Affairs (responsible for Queen's Park Restoration, exempt from FOI) and Ministry of Infrastructure. Previously, Minister of Legislative Affairs was Paul Calandra who cleaned up corruption in the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing after Steve Clark resigned. The Minister of Infrastructure remains Kinga Surma, responsible for the #OntarioPlace and #OntarioScienceCentre scandal. https://www.ontario.ca/orders-in-council/oc-11712024
