The @cityoftoronto cannot tank the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts project. The 35K residents inSt. Lawrence and more than 10x that amount of people in the region thrive on the arts. Toronto this is no time for a "world class" city to be shortsighted. @oliviachow @TOLiveTweets

The show could be over for the project to build a new St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts.

Citing the “continued financial risks of the project” and its relatively low priority versus other city projects, City CFO recommends Council axe the $421 million plan https://t.co/ec9cLpjOYN

@PierrePoilievre @PierrePoilievre's never held a real job in his life, lives in a taxpayer funded mansion with servants & 24/7/365 chauffeur & thinks he's worth every penny we pay him. He's not worth the cost. HE should pay US back for the cushy unearned life we gave him! https://t.co/5xoRicF11D

It's an honour to be your Deputy Mayor, Toronto. Together, we can do this!

[SLNASpeaks @slnaspeaks]

Absolutely worth repeating @HumeChristopher … #greenbelttragedy #ethics

[Christopher Hume @HumeChristopher]

Worth repeating.

[Jennifer Keesmaat @jen_keesmaat]

Heads should roll.

I say this as someone who was entrusted with the public interest and pressured by developers again and again and again to abdicate that interest in favour of theirs.

I said, ‘get out out of my office.’
I said, ‘no way.’
I said, ‘under no circumstance.’

It’s not that hard if you understand your role and your obligations to the public. It‘s not that hard if you took your oath of office with integrity (for me, it is the oath of my profession, which I have taken, to serve the public interest.)

If you do not have the fortitude to stand up to this pressure, you are not fit for the job. And heads should roll.

This year marks @MCCToronto’s 50th anniversary. They’ve been a Christian home for many in the 2SLGBTQIA community. I recall the first time I walked into this vibrant, inclusive & progressive church. Like many I was changed by their affirmation. Bless them for all they do. ❤️
