Please sign this petition opposing the Premier and Mayor's undemocratic "strong mayor" policy. This provincial legislation would allow the Mayor to force through decisions with the support of as few as 8 councillors, potentially overruling the will of millions of citizens.
Petition: Toronto just elected new progressive & diverse voices across the city. In response, Mayor Tory asked Doug Ford to take away their democratic power, our democratic power, so he can win votes with the support of a minority of council. Take action: progresstoronto.ca/our-city

Great thinking, as always, from @doctorow pluralistic.net/2022/10/20/b…
If you live in Toronto, get out there and vote on Monday! Don't let John Tory do nothing at City Hall for another 4 years: this city is in bad enough shape already!
Vote for @Penalosa_G

Britain’s prime minister is trapped in a quagmire of her own making—and two fires are burning in markets. Read why Liz Truss’s premiership is damaged beyond repair: econ.st/3TgdB5a
This totally sucks: TPL is a source of civic pride and a sorely needed resource and refuge for our most vulnerable citizens.
A vote for @JohnTory is a vote for more death by 1000 cuts for our city.
#Opinion: As the City of Toronto, short of money post-pandemic, deteriorates grievously, libraries are taking a huge hit.
Given that inflation is running at 7 per cent year over year, that’s a massive axe blow to the best library system in the country. torstar.co/wnI550L2bgx

Who will solve the rental crisis in Toronto? Not John Tory, writes @JohnLorinc.
The mayor's Housing Now program — with a goal of 10k units of purpose-built rental — has yet to break ground on a single one of these sites **4 years later**!

Very important we all understand the distinctions @acoyne eloquently articulates here. A more nuanced view that represents a step back from the grim norm of entrenched positions that many of our political leaders prefer that we hold.
My latest: should we have private health care? Answers: a) It depends what you mean. b) Yes. c) No. d) Maybe. Also e) we already do, and f) that’s not the real issue.
Hope that clears that up.
