If an MPP @OntLiberal can be this clear about land grab by @fordnation & express community concerns about Jets, Why can't Federal MPs @liberal_party @MarkJCarney #islandairport #landgrab @NoJetsTO

[Stephanie Bowman @stephaniebowman]

I've been inundated with emails from residents with a clear message—STOP Ford's changes to Billy Bishop.

This land grad puts years of local planning in jeopardy to satisfy Ford's obsession with power, control, & a place to land private jets (which he likes so much).

[Timothy Gray @CanadaGray]

@MarkJCarney and his Toronto MPs have a chance right now to put five new Board members on the Toronto Port Authority and put an end to the jet port nightmare proposal. #TOpoli #cdnpoli #NoJetsTO https://t.co/sENnn6ayEs…

LISTEN UP ONTARIO:
Something big is happening in Ontario, and almost no one is talking about it.
Premier Ford has quietly passed a law that opens the door to water privatization across Ontario - and he's hoping you won't notice.

The Water and Wastewater Public
Corporations Act lets the government seize your local water system and hand it over to a for-profit corporation without your consent.
History is clear: when for-profit corporations control our water systems, the results are disastrous:

Bigger bills!
Bad service!
Dirty water!

Water is a human right not a commodity. It's not too late to stop this.
& Tell Premier Ford our water is NOT for sale. Take action now!

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles is writing to Prime Minister Mark Carney, urging him to block the Ford government’s plans for Billy Bishop Airport, arguing he is the “only one who can stop this expansion.”

@LeighWolf Hmm a one sided view of history, what about US military support for militaristic authoritarianism around the world, from many coups in Latin America when democratically elected governments provided benefits from resources to domestic population or Mideast to keep oil flowing.

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

I wrote to Prime Minister Carney today.

Doug Ford said Canada wasn't for sale. Then he rammed through the Billy Bishop expansion – pushed by an American company tied to JP Morgan.

Toronto's waterfront is being handed to Wall Street.

The expansion can't proceed without federal approval. Prime Minister, don't approve it.

[Petrichor ❤🇨🇦❤ 💙💛 @Chasingharmony1]

@l_stone This isn't an investment in Ontario at all. It's a blatant misuse of billions of Ontarians' tax dollars to line the pockets of AMERICAN BANKERS, while destroying one of the most breathtakingly beautiful city skylines in the world.
Absolute traitorous madness!!!

[John Bowker @bowker_john]

JP Morgan-controlled Nieuport Aviation hired Doug Ford's former deputy chief of staff to lobby the premier on "legislative options" related to Billy Bishop airport #onpoli

[Don Davies @DonDavies]

Liberals are selling off Canada’s ports and airports. After Heathrow was privatized, Saudi Arabia, Qatar & China gained major stakes in the airport. Canadians deserve a full national security review before foreign state-owned entities gain control of our strategic infrastructure.

[NoJetsTO @NoJetsTO]

Grassroots opposition to JP Morgan’s attack on our waterfront is growing! This is our waterfront, not for sale to the USA! #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

[John Houston @JohnKHouston]

What do you say @MarkJCarney ? Are you in on this deal as well, or are you going to put an end to this madness at the Toronto waterfront?

Time for you to stop @fordnation from more wasteful white elephants that only enrich his donors.

Canada exported $14.6 million worth of military goods to Israel last year.

Total of 50 military export permits were utilized to sell these goods. Military goods were shipped despite Canada stating it paused approvals of some new military export permits.

[Chris Glover @chrisglover]

Are Toronto's Liberal MPs going to stand up for us?

We are taking the fight to Ottawa on June 10th.

Message your MP and tell them to stop the airport expansion.

#ONpoli #Cdnpoli

[NoJetsTO @NoJetsTO]

We have a message for politicians taking marching orders from JP Morgan instead of listening to the people: Hands off our waterfront! #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

[Tim (he/him) Fitz Maguire, LLM @TimFitzMaguire]

Also worrying that no @liberal_party MPs led by @MarkJCarney will stand up for Toronto waterfront & communities, question @fordnation plans, assume role in Tripartite agreement, use of Bill 5, even with @jpmorgan revelations. @NoJetsTO @WaterfrontTO

[Margaret E Atwood @MargaretAtwood]

Who's behind the massive lobbying campaign to expand the island airport? What I discovered should worry us all https://t.co/RsSippjdUX via @torontostar

[Chris Glover @chrisglover]

🚨 Breaking 🚨

JP Morgan hired lobbyists to lobby the Ford Conservatives & federal Liberals to expand Billy Bishop... and they may have broken the rules governing lobbyists.

This province is so damn backward.

“Pickering council has approved a plan to develop about 1,600 hectares of prime Ontario farmland even though key environmental studies, cost analyses and Indigenous consultation remain incomplete.” https://t.co/FmBh1m5Wlk

The fellow who caused the homelessness crisis by freezing shelter allowances as rents doubled sure doesn’t like the minuscule protection the law gives to its victims. https://t.co/3cyZTYoCYM

[Leah ProudLakota (she/her) @LeahGazan]

The Liberals’ pipeline is dividing Canada—and causing some Liberal MPs to run for the hills.

And while Carney doubles down on new fossil fuel projects, he’s backsliding on the rights of Indigenous peoples while lining the pockets of the billionaire class, all while communities suffer from global price shocks.

That’s why I and my @NDP colleague @GordJohns wrote to the Liberal Environment Minister to make clear: we will not accept the Prime Minister’s failure to address the climate crisis and protect all those endangered by it.

[Tim (he/him) Fitz Maguire, LLM @TimFitzMaguire]

Reminder, this was fault of both @stephenharper who initiated expansion of the TFW program beyond farming o.b.o. @TimHortons & other brands under owner RBI & other corps, continued by @liberal_party under @JustinTrudeau Don't blame #TFW blame capitalism & their politicians

[Don Davies @DonDavies]

Last year New Democrats said it was ridiculous that Tim Hortons had to have temporary foreign workers and couldn’t hire locally.
It appears we were 100% correct. https://t.co/0lOKEZ6Vgu
