History asks us not to forget.

On Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, we honour the memory of those lost and stand with the Armenian community in remembrance.

A moment to reflect, to learn, and to reaffirm our commitment to human dignity & peace.

Today would be a great day to announce the start of service for the Eglinton Crosstown....but that would mean answering questions on whether the OSC roof is still intact after this snowstorm.

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

After days of heavy snow, we got an aerial view of the roof of the Ontario Science Centre -- which was closed last year over concerns about the structural integrity of the roof.

The Progressive Conservatives said, last year, "the building, which is more than 50 years old, is at risk of potential roof panel failure due to snow load as early as this winter."

Here is a straight forward, easily implementable five part plan for the Ontario Science Centre. Let’s call it #FuturePlanOSC

1. The Ontario Government wants to abandon the building because it needs repair/magnitude of the disrepair. The Ontario government should gift the building to the City of Toronto for $1. The burden of the building is, then, off their hands. The Province continues to offer the programming and pay for operations. They don’t want the building, fine. But don’t demolish it.

2. We establish an OSC Community Land Trust to take ownership of the land (owned by the City of Toronto today) and the building.

3. Using the $1.5 million already on the table from @adammcnamara and @SabiVM, the immediate repairs begin. We have some time, since the deadline is October. OSC can continue to deliver programs. According to @CdnArch, the exhibit halls can be fully functional during the repair of the roof area (which is something like 2% of the roof). This addresses the next few years.

4. The new OSC Community Land Trust creates a fundraising campaign, on the premise that the City of Toronto and the Government of Ontario match community donations one-for-one (there is precedent for this - the $10 million for the Bentway was contingent on the City of Toronto matching the $10 million. And they did it). Governments need to come to the table - they cannot totally abdicate.

5. In sum, the Government of Ontario gifts the building. City of Toronto gifts the land. Province continues to be responsible for operational costs and programming. The OSC Community Land Trust repairs and invests in the building, and protects it as a heritage site for community use, in perpetuity.

What do you think of this plan?

Ever noticed the similarities between Mike Harris in the 90s and @PierrePoilievre today? Their "common sense" speech holds a lot in common.

Let's take a look back to the 1990s when Mike Harris's "common sense revolution" led to cuts, closures, and job losses across Ontario 👇

Ontario Place. The Greenbelt. CBC. Ontario Science Centre. Highway407.
Universal Healthcare & Public Education.

Conservatives sell off our assets, starve institutions, attack unions & privatize services that should be public.

This anti-public sector agenda makes us all poorer.

When the City asserts democratic control over #Uber, the $120 billion tech giant sues.

This ⁦@Spacing⁩ piece explains why it's good public policy to rein this monopolizing giant in.

Tory would have never had the guts to do so.

Thank you @oliviachow for proposing this alternative. Having the proposed MegaSpa at Better Living Centre is a far better alternative. Parking, transit, city services already there. Don’t need to destroy a heritage public space! https://t.co/C3Dek0C1JT #topoli #onpoli

It's 4 pm on a Wednesday.

The majority of ORs in the province are now closed for next 16 hours.

Instead of creating, funding and diverting staff to a parallel private system, @ongov should invest in the underutilized public system we already have.

Today, we honour thousands of Canadians who bravely fought in the Battle of Vimy Ridge, 104 years ago. We remember them. Markham's Veteran's Square & Cenotaph is a place to reflect and pay tribute to those who selflessly served.

A COVID-19 vaccine protects you from symptomatic infection and serious illness, but until we know vaccinated individuals can’t spread the virus we must all continue to follow public health measures – vaccinated or not. Learn more at https://t.co/cOMomAxApL

I’ve used the word “sacrifice” often over the last 8 months as I’ve stayed home and watched Netflix.

Days like today remind me that real “sacrifice” is picking up a rifle and heading to Europe knowing there’s a chance you’ll never see your family again.
