  7. 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?

  8. 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...

  13. 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.

  14. @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. 🙁

  22. 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."

  27. 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."

  34. If you're going to b*tch about the noise from the #airshow but still vote for #DougFord & his Conservative lackey MPPs, then you're a hypocrite. If a once a year show bothers you, but constant jet traffic at #BillyBishop won't, you can STFU with your complaints.

  35. Peterborough hospital gets a 1.8% funding increase. Its costs are going up over 6% a year. The Ford government is hacking away at vital acute hospital services despite its promises to end hallway healthcare and clear the surgical wait lists.

  36. The idea that the economic future of Canada may depend upon #DougFord is, somehow, not particularly reassuring.

    On the other hand, he was opposed to last week's deal with the US before #MarkCarney was...

  37. "Trump is an easy target, a man who is little more than a cartoon villain. The tougher task for Ford is getting super-popular Carney to stand up for Ontario. Carney is being hailed as a hero for not giving the Americans everything they want, but the deal he was reportedly prepared to accept would have been a serious blow to Canada’s largest province."

    🇨🇦 Ontario:
    "We haven't started cleaning up the radioactive waste from the 1960s but we promise we won't add more radioactive material to the ground or water supply, after we build the world’s largest nuclear power plant.

    Oh, and don't worry about a foreign actor sabotaging or bombing said plant, because international relations are stable, ask Ukraine about that."
    oh, and hi there Trump!

  41. They've also repealed restrictions that previously governed Personal Information Banks. Government and municipal institutions no longer have to disclose the existence of personal information banks, and no longer have to make the information contained inside retrievable.

  42. While everyone's been focused on #DougFord exempting his cell phone and other government records from #FOI requests, he also removed oversight by the Information and Privacy Commissioner of his government's data integration practices. Data Integration allows the government to share personal and health information across departments. Previously the Commissioner had approve and oversee data integration. Now, she can't.
