Please read and retweet the tweet below. It says it all.

Think of it this way: anything can be destructive at the wrong scale.

If you replace your residential street with a four-lane highway, you destroy your neighbourhood.

If you put a wrong-sized airport on a waterfront, you destroy it as a place for gathering, respite, and connection.

Ford’s expansion plan must be stopped. It’s another assault on the livability of our city, driven by someone settling old scores, who doesn’t care about the city as a thriving urban place.

We’re building a dense, urban, walkable city, and this airport expansion isn’t necessary. And it conflicts with that goal.

“This tiny speck of ecological paradise provides critical respite from our dense and urban concrete jungle and is vital for mental health, community, and happiness.”

In 2021, I wrote a story about how, when the going gets tough, the Ford government's priority is to "protect the king."

The latest FOI changes appear to underline that government principle.

Tina is quickly becoming the best reporter at Queen's Park. Asking the tough questions and bringing the facts.

It’s time for Doug Ford to see beyond his silver spoon and step up as the Premier for every Ontarian, not just the wealthy. 

By cutting OSAP grants, Doug Ford is making it impossible for young people to get ahead, burying them thousands of dollars of debt before they can even find their first job! 

Ontario funds post secondary education at the lowest rate in Canada. It’s time to invest in our future, create good opportunities for young people, and save OSAP.

Ford to students:
“it's not a God-given right to take taxpayers’ money,” ...

Unless you are my family dentist, you get $2 million;
or a friend who owns a strip club, i'll give you $10 million;
or you hire my campaign manager as a lobbyist, you'll get $100 million.

Truth - Doug Ford. Sold drugs in High School. Dropped out of College. Nearly bankrupted the once very successful Family Business he was handed. Cashed in on Political "success" of his Brother and now is destroying Ontario by playing a giant con on the People of Ontario!

The oil industry often touts its importance to the Canadian economy, but doesn't mention that there are 30,000 fewer jobs than 10 years ago.

Now, there's a small cohort of roughnecks in the GTA putting their skills to work for the green economy #cdnpoli https://t.co/zRDKmpbtGh

@TinaYazdani Thug Dougie likes to poke Trump for political gain, but has the same disdain for democracy.

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

The Integrity Commissioner – Ontario’s ethics watchdog - is now investigating David Piccini over Doug Ford’s Skills Development Fund scandal. The pressure we have been putting on the government is working. Thanks to everyone who has helped amplify my call to get to the bottom of this over the last 8 weeks. I won’t stop until the truth comes out.

Doug Ford’s Conservatives are taking an extended break from Queen’s Park until March 23.

People are struggling, ERs are packed, basic needs aren’t being met – and this government’s response is to ram through a bunch of harmful bills and then clock out. It’s undemocratic. #onpoli

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

55% of Ontarians didn't vote in the last provincial election. People have lost faith in government because of politicians like Doug Ford. Corrupt, only helping those who help them, scandal after scandal.

That's my challenge. Getting out there and earning people's trust. Showing them government doesn't have to be corrupt. That it can change things for the better.

At no point during the five-year span that Monty Python's Flying Circus aired on the BBC, from October 1969 to December 1974, could the greatest comedic minds of their time come up with a skit more grotesquely absurd than Trump placing a fake peace-prize medal over his own head.

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

He wants audits?

Great.

Let’s start with the $10 million Doug Ford gave to a strip-club owner.

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Goddamn right they’re corrupt.

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

I went to the Senate floor to make the case for the resolution I lead with Senator Kaine to overturn the punishing Canadian tariffs. No way to treat an ally 🇨🇦 and no way to treat the American people.

It passed the Senate! The House needs to come back and act.

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

The @nytimes compares Ontario’s anti-tariff commercial with Ronald Reagan’s original 1987 radio address.

The organic media coverage of this commercial far surpasses the potential reach of the $75 Million Ontario taxpayers were slated to spend.

Bonus Canadian summer long weekend started yesterday when I gave @CanadasLifeline. Then today the @BlueJays broke their curse. Vladdy leading the way.

Woohoo. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.

Did you know that one blood donation could help in three different ways? 🤯

Say something nice to a donor in the comments below to thank them ❤️
