Really tough look for a group trying to convince Canadians it 1) supports a woman's right to choose and 2) is the party of free speech. #cdnpoli

Last month Ford said: "The worst place you can hand your money over is to the government."

...did he mean it's because they'll use it to build unnecessary highways that are only of benefit to developers? #onpoli

On a similar note, do we ever "pilot" roads? Or does piloting only apply when motorists might get their feelings hurt? #BikeTO

[Rob Small @_robsmall]

What if Toronto just made the right call and built permanent, safe bike lanes to encourage cycling instead of a never-ending series of pilots that need "evidence" of use over a short period? How many more people would feel comfortable hopping around the cvity on a bike? #BikeTO

[David Rider @dmrider]

Asked about the temporary bike lanes surviving the pandemic, he says "we'll see, based on the evidence" of usage, impacts on traffic etc.

Bellwoods right now: Houseless Torontonians, advocates and journalists alike penned in while other citizens stand watch. The city is running this encampment clearing with requested help from police and private security. Tory and council was briefed, spokesperson tells me

• April 2020: My god what if there’s never a vaccine?!

• December 2020: Will these vaccines even work?

• March 2021: Ok the vaccines work but Canada won’t get them until 2023!

• June 2021: Okay, but do you have this vaccine in sparkling pomegranate?

This all-time bad idea to privatize parks apparently solves:

1) homelessness (by enabling corps to choose how parks are used, and by who)
2) overpaid teenagers (is this an issue?)
3) property taxes (as though they're not low enough)

What could go possibly go wrong? #TOpoli

@cassruggiero Following this thread for recos...crossing my fingers for a similar trip! 🤞

[Ian Young @ianjamesyoung70]

Should there not be some kind of national pause to acknowledge the scale of what has been found at Kamloops? Am I missing something?

[Rob Small @_robsmall]

Anyway, NIMBYs suck. /end rant. #TOpoli

[Rob Small @_robsmall]

Follow this thread if you're confused about why the city is clearing homeless encampments/not managing a homeless crisis.

Spoiler: It's because people who pay property taxes take time out of their day to ensure that only *certain kinds of people* have safe, affordable housing.

[Jennifer Pagliaro @jpags]

For those wondering about how the city could clear a park encampment, it might be worth hearing the arguments being made now about a modular housing project — legal, supportive housing — in Willowdale.

[Rob Small @_robsmall]

And yes, these are NIMBYs. They can say they're not but when they say "we support helping homeless but just not in our 'hood" they are saying "Not In My Backyard".
