Noteworthy that so far this presentation on Toronto's capital budget hasn't focused on the monster that gobbles funding - the Gardiner Expressway including reconstruction aloft of its little-used eastern section thestar.com/news/city_hall/2…

Outrageous. The notwithstanding clause was not intended for this. It’s casual use by govts is alarming
BREAKING: the Ford government will invoke the notwithstanding clause in order to impose a new contract on CUPE. This is the 3rd time the government has used this measure. #onpoli

1) Okay, so the Ontario Gov't just announced parents would get $250 per kid to "enhance learning". Let's look at one example of what that money could do if it was directed to schools instead of used as a political bribe to parents.

"Do we want a low-tax/low-cost city, or a city that recognizes the deep, intrinsic value of Toronto’s public spaces, whose importance and neglect can no longer be ignored or tolerated?" A brilliant piece by @JohnLorinc on Toronto's mayoral election. spacing.ca/toronto/2022/10/1…

Toronto folks are rightfully dunking on the mayor for this, which attempts to present austerity and other people’s contributions as a pro-parks agenda
Parks are an essential part of what makes any city liveable, and Toronto is no exception. I'm committed to making Toronto cleaner and greener by continuing to invest in our parks, and build even more of them. Learn more about my plan: johntory2022.ca/news/continu…

Cancelled programs, crumbling infrastructure, delayed construction and maintenance projects. So many obvious signs the city is struggling to deliver basic services but they’ve yet to really move the needle in this municipal election. What would it take?

Ontario seems poised to re-elect a Premier who either doesn’t have a clue how traffic, transportation and #ClimateCrisis mitigation ACTUALLY works (more car lanes ALWAYS induce more cars and driving, and either the same or worse congestion), or he DOES understand it and is lying.
Asked what he's doing to prevent climate change, Doug Ford mentions electric vehicle production & transit, but also claims building highways is a climate change solution "to get people home quicker, that they don't have to sit in gridlock and smell someone else's fumes." #onpoli

Half of business owners on this Toronto street estimated that more than 25% of their customers arrived by car. In fact, it was 4%. And the % for those who walked or cycled? 72%. Retailers routinely overestimate the # of “car customers.” Via @carltonreid forbes.com/sites/carltonreid…

If you're a media outlet, before you do an April Fool's prank, maybe ask yourself "is this an actual joke that people will understand as a joke or are we just willfully spreading disinformation"

When a convoy of vehicles led by a dump truck tried to drive through Marika Morris's downtown Ottawa neighbourhood, she and a few others decided to stand on the road and block their path. Here's why. #OttNews cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/do…

The funny thing about brand accounts is the abrupt tonal shifts between Low-Energy Twitter Teen Voice (all lowercaps, half-hearted attempt at slang, "us 2 bestie") and Adult Voice (can suddenly spell and capitalize, trying to avoid a lawsuit) – at Toronto, Ontario
