Transportation planner eating my way around the city.

@TheHunterChef @ElectionDigest @jumbatronic @cityoftoronto Also, there is plenty of parking on side streets around the RapidTO corridors, giving customers a short walk to businesses. It’s no different than walking across a suburban Walmart parking lot into the store, but perceptions of distance change downtown.

[Amar Lad @amarlad99]

@TheHunterChef @ElectionDigest @jumbatronic @cityoftoronto I think the point is, if your business could survive in the past when street parking was replaced by a patio, the same could be said today when the same parking spot is replaced by a transit lane, which increases the road capacity and moves more people faster.

Minister of education either appointed bad supervisors or the Trustees were doing the best they could with chronic deficit funding....which is it Minister... Parents of 2.1 million students across #Ontario want to know!

Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity andhappiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

[Tyler Watt 🇨🇦 @tylerwatt]

"Liberal Tyler Watt said in a statement that while the government blamed students and increasing costs, the documents 'tell a very different story.'

He said the government should release the civil servants’ recommendations in full.

'Ontario students deserve to know what advice was rejected, who rejected it, and why Doug Ford chose to gut OSAP instead of fixing the real issue,' he said in a statement." #onpoli

Premier Ford said he wants ER wait times to be 1 hour. But last night in Ontario the worst were 10-14 hours. Premier Ford could change this reality by funding more physician hours. I stand zero to gain personally from this - I'm already working full-time.

Junior is an airline executive who lobbied the city to allow jets at Billy Bishop airport.

This is certainly someone who is NOT in step with the views of the vast majority of people in Beaches-East York.

When Doug appoints a regional chair, it doesn't matter who you voted to be mayor, or who you voted to represent you in council.

The appointed chair overrules, and the chairs work for Ford.

Municipal democracy is long gone in Ontario. No one noticed.

We're looking for someone to help lead our campaign to bring the Sheppard Subway west into Downsview Airport as part of the Sheppard Subway Extension project. The airport is currently a blank site, and is set to house 110,000 people within the next 25 years.

[Kate Dupuis @DrKateTO]

The executive of a private airline who lobbied for the expansion of Billy Bishop is now seeking the Liberal nomination in a lakefront Toronto riding?

At the exact same moment that Doug Ford is trying to expand Billy Bishop?

What incredible timing.

We should all be concerned & angry about the police demands for more money on things that should just be part of their existing job.

Negotiating the base police budget is tough because of the system, but we should really demand that it should cover all these items w/out upcharge

[Kate Dupuis @DrKateTO]

I feel like Brad has cast a magic spell over his supporters whereby they all develop amnesia and forget that a) he has been on council for 8 years and was part of the past mayor's inner sanctum and b) he has recorded votes on many of the topics he now proposes to "fix". #topoli

[Dr. Adil Shamji 🇨🇦 @ShamjiAdil]

Yesterday, @fordnation inaugurated a “new” temporary Science Centre.

It’s unfinished, 85% smaller than the original, and is opening 2 YEARS after he closed the original one.

As usual, he’s overpromised, underdelivered, and wants you to settle for less.

He’s delusional.

[Diana Chan McNally @DianaCMcNally]

I fought for the City of Toronto to fund emergency water distribution to homeless people during heat waves and this would-be Mayor actively voted against it.

The good news is that I won anyway. No one who votes against basic resources for the most vulnerable people should lead.

[Amar Lad @amarlad99]

@corruptario Genuine question - which countries are boycotting this because of Israel participating? And why do their reprehensible war actions mean we can’t enjoy a non-war-related nice thing as just humans who like music?

[Brian Connolly 🇨🇦 @bconnolly00]

@blogTO Finch West LRT maintenance was privatized by Metrolinx!

TTC only operates the LRT trains.

Mosaic Transit Group was contracted to maintain the Finch West LRT for 30 years.

This failure is a result of privatization of public transit maintenance!

Warren Kinsella should reflect upon the fact it was Ontario provincial Conservatives who shut down safe consumption sites, effectively making everywhere a consumption site. Ontario ignored its own Medical Officer of Health. @kinsellawarren

If elected as Mayor, I will rename Brad Bradford to Sankofa Bradford.

Folks, the Doug Ford #GravyPlane is now back at Pearson airport and ready to be flown by the exact same company that Ford has used for almost all of his private jet charter flights.

[Steffan Watkins  @steffanwatkins]

🇨🇦 Doug Ford's $30M private jet, that he wasted $200k of Ontario tax revenue on, has been sold to Doug Ford's preferred private charter company, Chartright, who have previously provided planes for his luxurious travel tastes to Texas and Saskatchewan at ~$10k/hr. #GravyPlane
