The Ontario government's plans to pave huge swathes of the headwaters of the Humber River, Don River, Rouge and Carruthers Creek will lead to flash floods that make today's #OnStorm flooding in Toronto look like minor dampness by comparison.

Good morning!

As the con is just six months away (six months!) we are reaching out to the incredible and diverse creators in our community.

Is there someone you know that would be a great guest we should invite to Breakout 2024? Is there a system we gotta have? Let us know!

[The Biking Lawyer (Dave Shellnutt) @TheBikingLawyer]

We know @marksaunders_TO abysmal record on road safety but this language about bike lanes is purposely anti-cyclist/dog whistley. This rhetoric can lead to anti-cyclist violence Mark (see High Park last summer). It's a slippery slope & we will hold you responsible. #bikeTO

Ontario is sleepwalking into massive deleterious health law changes coming this month with few journalists, publicly accessible health advocates or the general public taking note. So much silence over so much health policy vandalism. ⁦@LindaMcQuaig⁩ https://t.co/x4XsP8n2c9

“They cut speed limits, changed street design, removed space for cars…Now it appears that work is paying off. #Oslo & #Helsinki are reaping the rewards of committed action on making their roads safer, reducing pedestrian fatalities to zero last year.” https://t.co/EgPQSx1pRW

The only way Mark Saunders is a good mayoral candidate for law and order in Toronto is if you plan on committing crimes.

[Dr.VivianS @DrVivianS]

Despicable. Just despicable. It’s the #LTC liability legislation all over again but for For Profit healthcare. New rules to shield private clinics from public scrutiny https://t.co/F6R8OrCMmt via @torontostar

[Josh Matlow @JoshMatlow]

Instead, our city will support a revitalized public park that is fully integrated with a reimagined Exhibition Place. Because a growing number of Torontonians live without access to green space, it is more essential than ever that we preserve access to free public spaces.

[Josh Matlow @JoshMatlow]

Toronto's waterfront is not for sale.

As Mayor, I will stop the province’s plan for a private spa by withholding the 16 acres of City-owned property at Ontario Place that is needed by the Ford government to proceed with its plans for the site.

[Asif Hossain @asifintoronto]

The public is about to drop $650 million taxpayer dollars to build @ThermeCanada @ThermeGroup a giant underwater parking lot, clear a big part of Ontario Place, *and* hand over that land, but @InfraOntario says an environmental assessment isn’t possible? C’mon.

@ONPlace4All

[Asif Hossain @asifintoronto]

This @anabailaoTO "plan" has no basis in reality. None.

The province already told John Tory no to Gardiner/DVP upload, that's why it wasn't in his re-election campaign, which Bailao co-chaired. She knows. Completely unacceptable that she's actively misleading Toronto voters.

What good is having a PMO if they can’t/won’t stop this clear violation of the CANADA HEALTH ACT⁉️

“Last year the @fordnation government underspent on health care by $860 million. This year, it’s on track to underspend by more than a billion. If we do not fight, we WILL lose public hospitals.” - Natalie Mehra (@OntarioHealthC), addressing #ONAPLM.  #ONpoli

[More Neighbours HamOnt @MoreHamOnt]

Ford is failing on his “building homes faster”plan because he is aiming to build McMansions on unserviced, distant farmland. Let’s build in neighbourhoods already serviced! https://t.co/e0pOd9h3uM #HamOnt

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Conservative promise made, Conservative promise broken.

No matter where you are in Ontario, it’s hard to find an affordable place to live.

We need to act immediately to build new units to rent or buy and for more affordable, co-op, non-profit & supportive housing. #onpoli
