  6. Anybody who looks at the #onpoli housing disaster and thinks it was fine to establish the greenbelt *without* putting the screws to municipalities to legalize housing is just wrongheaded.

    And what genius says *out loud on mic* that McGuinty & Wynne shouldn't have done anything different?

  7. Finally watched the "Cycling Toward a Cooler Toronto" film featuring @[email protected], @[email protected] & two other U of T civil engineers. Appreciated Shoshanna's desire to bring back open streets at the end. #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcPG...

  12. To be specific: the conservative said the reason #onpoli steel and car parts were getting tarriffed while #abpoli oil and gas were not was Premiere Smith's better negotiating.

    The normally agreeable @[email protected] was incredulous.

  13. @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. 🙁

  21. 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."

  26. Clown car stuff.

    “We are at a complete standstill on ALL of our FOI requests even if they don’t include political staff records?” one senior freedom of information coordinator asked in response to the freeze."

  33. 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.
