Doug Ford spent $2.2-billion to destroy the Science Centre and Ontario Place. It is sickening. The waste, the dishonesty, the missed opportunity.

Look at all these cyclists causing traffic congestion on Dundas! Ridiculous entitled people...

@JessicaBellTO No!! I shop here at least twice a month

@PrabSarkaria @TheThanigasalam @CHogarthPC In 2024??!! This is the dumbest move I’ve ever seen. Bike lanes ease congestion, they do not cause it. #ClimateActionNow

[Alex Bozikovic @alexbozikovic]

I wonder about the future of Toronto as a city. Approaching 10 million people, but apartments are still mostly illegal, public transit still inadequate, and everything that would help mobility - congestion charges and bike infrastructure - is now off the table.

On #worldhabitatday, we mourn the loss of the forest on Ontario Place West Island in Toronto. Last week, the Ontario provincial govt clear-cut every tree (846) & all vegetation, destroying habitat of mammals, migratory birds, monarchs. No env assessmt done. Cancel the Therme spa.

@ONPlace4All @kurtischen This is devastating.

Ontario Place West Island has been obliterated, photos taken today by @kurtischen. #topoli #onpoli

The media really needs to do deep into the Therme Ontario Place lease. The terms are outrageous. Therme is literally paying peanuts for waterfront land. Something stinks.

[Dan Seljak @anotherglassbox]

what material conditions allowed Jane Jacobs and co. to beat the Spadina Expressway when we currently seem to be having so little impact on things like Ontario Place and the Science Centre? "we're just less good at activism now" seems incomplete.

Toronto's 4th emergency service, the Toronto Community Crisis Service, is now city-wide.

You can call 211 in all parts of Toronto, 24/7, to get a caring, non-police, crisis response.

I was happy to join the launch at West Neighbourhood House, right here in #DavenportTO.

A number of front-line workers from safe consumption sites are holding a news conference at Queen’s Park.

The Toronto Overdose Prevention Society claims “one person dies every 2.5 hours” from the toxic drug supply in Ontario.

“These cuts will kill,” they say.

I’m not going to dunk on 78 new RGI homes, but you only get to build out a parcel of public land once. Get as much out of it as you can! Go a few storeys higher, build more affordable units, or build market units and direct the proceeds to seed future work by land trusts/NFPs.

We’re out here at the Art Rally at Ontario Place, letting the government know how we feel about the taxpayer funded MegaSpa! OPP hearing is done for the day, a decision is pending. Donate to support their action: https://t.co/OcFdj9jdNx #topoli #onpoli

I will never, ever forget John Tory's self-serving, shortsighted 2017 refusal to support a stormwater charge that could have been directed to flood prevention. Toronto council shelving it again THIS YEAR is...*waterline raises above my mouth, blessedly drowning out the ranting*

[Adam Bunch @TODreamsProject]

There are some people in this city who will break our hearts so they can sell the pieces for scrap.
