@Nerdy_Addict@AtomReport Given the county ordinance for an 11:00pm curfew, what do you make of the house lights being on at end of the court?

Ford’s Greenbelt land grab has been plagued by multiple reports showing this has nothing to do with building homes and everything to do with lining the pockets of well-connected, wealthy speculators.
We need homes built for people, not speculators.

"The government has deliberately adopted a strategy of silence because it doesn't want to share bad news or answer unpleasant questions. It doesn't see any win there, so it just... won't." — @mattgurney#onpoli https://t.co/XyafRlxqMc
850 trees destroyed... taxpayers on the hook for a $450M carpark... the west island covered by a giant glass box. Could Ford’s Ontario Place catastrophe get any worse?
Why yes, yes it could. Now we find out Therme will control this precious lakefront land for 95 years.

“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” https://t.co/EH3reri9lz
NEW! Assessment of public opinion on #Bill23, cuts to #Greenbelt, and affordable housing shows "widespread opposition in #Ontario to the Government’s Bill 23"
"In short, a strong majority of Ontarians urge the Government to reverse the Bill 23 measures."

UBI critics: If we give people money without conditions, people will stop working.
UBI pilot: Turns out the UBI group worked more than the control group.
UBI critics: Well of course giving people more money works. But it costs too much.
UBI pilot: Turns out the money spent on UBI reduced other costs greater than the UBI.
UBI critics: Yeah but people will stop working.
Ok guys, it’s time for me to tell you about something very enlightening that I read in a book recently:
75% of people would rather being knowingly wrong and blend in, than be right and stand out. And there’s a well known psychology experiment that proved it. 🧵
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

While there are good measures in today's budget, it fails to meet the moment we're in.
Canadians with disabilities remain in poverty. No dedicated mental health funding. New subsidies to Big Oil in the midst of a climate crisis.

Every vote should count.
To move us in that direction, I’m proud to be working with @FairVoteCanada on this motion calling for a citizen’s assembly on electoral reform, supported by MPs from four parties.
