  1. In Ontario's case, this could be useful for extending GO train service to Uxbridge (and the Uxbridge to Lindsay Rail Trail), to Collingwood (which has a rail trail from Collingwood to Angus), and to Orangeville (where the Orangeville-Brampton Rail Trail is being planned). #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli

  2. As someone who enjoys riding Ontario's rail trails, I enjoyed reading @[email protected]'s latest piece about rail trails in general and have to agree that we should aim to allow for both rails and trails when conditions warrant it. #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli www.highspeed.blog/do-we-have-t...

  12. Wait, this data required a freedom of information request??

    "A briefing note obtained by Global News using freedom of information laws shows that, even by its own modified definition of new housing, the province only achieved 58 per cent of its 2025 target."

  19. 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?

  20. 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...

  25. 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.

  26. @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. 🙁

  34. 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."
