Wild that Ford is being placed at the centre of all this Team Canada approach as chair of the Council of the Federation, given the state of affairs in Ontario and his place within the rank of premiers. Yes, Ontario is the largest province, but I didn't have this on a bingo card.

Cycle Toronto win. In response to our legal action, the province has backtracked from an alleged December start and confirms no bike lane removal will begin until at least March 2025.

Ford’s government can find $2.2B for a luxury spa, but can’t fix Ontario’s crumbling schools.

- 40% of schools need repairs.
- That’ll hit 75% in 10 years.
- The backlog will balloon to $22B.

Spas, not schools. That’s The Cost of Doug.

[The] decision will have "implications across the country. To date, no case has clearly answered the question of whether Aboriginal title can be declared over privately-owned, fee simple lands. ... Reconciliation may require remedies ... of land back."

Today is Indigenous Veterans Day. To all Indigenous veterans, and those currently serving, thank you for your contributions and sacrifice.

Yesterday I spoke to honour Indigenous veterans in Kiiwetinoong and in other places.

Meegwetch for watching.

[Sol Mamakwa @solmamakwa]

This morning, I asked for a moment of silence for the passing of Honourable Justice Murray Sinclair.

Meegwetch for all he has done for justice and to make Canada better for all of us.

This is John Fox’s story. He is a survivor of Ralph Rowe. Telling his story helps him heal.

Wrote a letter to @TorontoStar , rebutting @PrabSarkaria's opinion piece in the Star where he (badly) attempted to defend his indefensible proposed bike lane ban. Read my letter and many others opposing the bike lane ban here: https://t.co/aPeu9VImqG #topoli #bikeTO

Every child matters. Tomorrow, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, let's reflect on and remember the inexcusable harm done to generations of children by the residential school system.

On September 30th, the systems which uphold colonialism are still in place and the harm continues. Reconciliation in practice has shifted away from transformation or ending harm and towards comforting Canadians. Read the full Brief: https://t.co/ALCqn6RIcE
