I am a signatory to this letter.

Open, fully informed and unbiased public hearings are required, supported by due diligence and meaningful analysis.

The public cannot be expected to provide informed feedback when neither the proposal nor its impacts have been properly presented.

Forgive us for being suspicious, but all we have so far is a process the Province deliberately rushed into place to cut Torontonians out, and a federal consultation process built around a survey that reflects neither the complexity of the issue nor the information needed to properly evaluate it.

This is how broken the democratic process in Canada is. A mega bank based in America hired an army of ex-Liberals, Conservatives and NDPers and bolted the issue of Billy Bishop expansion to the top of the priority list for Ford and Carney.

No one voted for it. No one wanted it. No one campaigned on it. Torontonians are massively against it.

We are under economic warfare. Ontario govt wiped out OSAP for students. Yet govts think it wise to spend their resources on an issue no one wanted except one mega US bank.

This is the key danger of privatization. These foreign equity banks are massive, comparable to govts and have ability to bribe and buy out govts. JP Morgan just did it.

ER doctor here. The worry isn't what's going to happen to people who can afford FIFA tickets. The worry is the people on a boring Wednesday night that can't afford FIFA and waited 8 hours to see an ER doctor because they don't have other options or are stuck in ER for days.

@GrayMarker99 This is very cool!

Hello Toronto. The reason for EMS delay isn't primarily due to bike lanes. It's because EMS faces delays in the ER - where I work - in offloading. The problem is increasing with a shortage of ER beds. From the 2024 Toronto Auditor General's report.

NEW: An exhaustive review of roughly 200 flights in Doug Ford’s calendars reveal he essentially stopped flying commercial in late 2025, switching almost entirely to private flights.

Opposition blasted him during question period, but Ford insists he’s better than former premiers

@harry_fosters Happy to see this. We have deer at the historic site I volunteer with and haven’t seen any babies yet, I was a bit worried.

No AI data center is worth losing this.

A real skeptic changes their mind when the data becomes overwhelming.

A conspiracy theorist changes the conspiracy.

We're in a weird era where a guy gets publicly shamed for running his sprinklers on a Tuesday, while a data center the size of a Costco quietly drains a reservoir so AI can generate a picture of your cat as a medieval knight. And the data center gets a tax incentive for it.

@harry_fosters I help manage a local historic site and was happy to see some new rodent control on the camera this morning.

@raghu_venugopal @oneplusone10 This is the @fordnation plan. Ruin it and take medical staff to the breaking point so they can say it’s broken and privatize.

[Liz Welsh @LizWelsh65]

@mikep_lbi Beautiful! Still waiting for the sun here in SW Ontario.

@simonmaechling Hi! Just discovered your account and will follow for the science. Thanks

One year ago today, my first history book Canada's Main Street, was released!
Getting my first book published was an amazing experience.

You can find it in bookstores, online, at your local library, or my publisher 👇
