Another factually wrong statement is that it's taxpayer $

Church St Pilot is funded by the BIA, section 37 funds (developer contributions), in-kind donations from community organization, private sponsorships, and grants. It’s on the website as well.

If you touch water you are apprehended by police.

If you molest kids with Jeffrey Epstein you are moved to a luxury prison and considered for a pardon.

TRUMP’S AMERICA.

[Eric @Eric_J_T4]

@georgebell Also, police presence shouldn't be more or less than what was already budgeted in the POLICE BUDGET. They have a massive budget, but want more for pedestrian street? Insane

[Eric @Eric_J_T4]

@Michael56297223 @DesmondCole This is an absurd take lol

[Eric @Eric_J_T4]

We don't need police presence for a pedestrian street, closed to traffic! Huge waste of resources. We don't have a 24/7 police presence at St. Lawrence Market, do we? @TPSOperations @TorontoPolice get your act together, this is a ridiculous ask.
@JoshMatlow @MayorOliviaChow

[Edward Row 𓃡 @edwardrow]

Police asked for three (3) million dollars for 24/7 paid-duty officers to close two blocks of street for essentially two (2) months lol - obviously ridiculous so the city instead were talked into hiring 24/7 security. It’s a grift

[Observing The City @observinthecity]

The cops are holding the city hostage. We cannot advance projects for the public good when costs balloon so much due to police "not signing off on a project" unless they get paid millions. Toronto can not continue to function this way and @MayorOliviaChow needs to change it.

Americans realizing it is illegal to touch water in public but if you touch children on private islands you will become the president of the US

The Reflecting Pool is a perfect metaphor for the Trump administration:

- Ignore experts and science
- Overspend
- Declare early, historic victory
- "THE LEFT HATE THIS"
- Ends in total failure
- Unfounded conspiracies about sabotage
- MAGA pretends it doesn't actually matter

@SenMarkKelly Omg, don't give him any ideas 🫣

[U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy]

Reagan is rolling over in his grave. Iran’s nuclear ambitions were not curbed, and they have learned that threatening the Strait of Hormuz works and will undoubtedly leverage it in the future. Now, Iran gets to build brand-new infrastructure under this deal.

Before the war, the strait was open, Iran was being crushed by sanctions, and 13 service members were still alive. Now, 13 Americans are dead, families have paid billions at the pump, sanctions will be lifted, and the bombing has stopped. This is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.

Awesome war where we lost 400 billion, killed a bunch of children, and gained literally nothing

[Lord Immy Kant @KantInEastt]

Americans after paying $300 billion to Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz which was never closed

[Covie @covie_93]

He's giving Iran $25 billion to reopen the Strait of Hormuz that was opened for free before the war.

Art of the Deal!

$198M / 3,500 parking spots =
$56,571 per spot.

But no money for affordable housing, healthcare, education, OSAP, and ODSP. Got it. @fordnation

$200 million on a parking garage on Toronto’s waterfront will not age well. Just like funnelling cars into the core has not aged well.

By the early 2030s, Exhibition Place will have one of the best transit connections in the country, with subway service to downtown, the east end, links into the entire GO rail network, and the waterfront streetcar network.

It’s designed to be a major hub.

Scotiabank Arena is a regional destination on GO Transit, and revellers arrive by walking, cycling and taking transit. They get to the Rogers Centre the same way. The only reason this works is because our streets on game days are a sea of people, rather than a sea of cars.

That’s not an accident. It’s the result of good urban planning.

So why are we spending a small fortune to create a traffic mess at Exhibition Place, when the overwhelming majority of people will still arrive by transit?

When we invest in transit, people take transit. When we invest in parking, we get more traffic.
