Mayors & Councilors across Ontario are demanding that Ford restore our democratic rights.
With Bill 100, Ford has canceled regional chair elections in 8 regions, and given himself the power to hand-pick chairs who will be able to overrule votes by a majority of elected Councilors.

Doug Ford didn’t get rid of his #gravyplane. He just found a way to keep flying it on your dime.
The taxpayer funded Bombardier Challenger was sold at a $200k loss to Chartright — the same company now chartering it back to Ford at $10,000 an hour. Also billed to Ontario.
If you watched CTV Calgary this morning you have seen what The Calgary Chamber Of Commerce has said about separation.
Half of all businesses would LEAVE Alberta.
They call it insanity to be even discussing leaving Canada.
Danielle Smith in a now a confirmed lunatic.
After Ford billed Ontarians $1B for a Ontario Science Centre at Ontario Place, Tina Yazdani cited structural engineers that stated Ontario Science Centre remain open during roof repairs & cost less than $30M.
A pissed off Ford said, "thank you for that."
Ford and his Cabinet Ministers were caught speeding 23 times and fined $3,300.
So Ford banned speed cameras.
Now:
▶️ speeding is up 380%
▶️ 2 people have died in accidents where speed cameras used to be.

A new Calgary Chamber of Commerce survey found that 63% of businesses say Danielle Smith's separation referendum is already having a negative impact on their business, while 74% see no tangible benefit from it.
And if separatists get their way, the consequences could be even worse. Nearly half of businesses surveyed said they would leave Alberta.
Albertans don't need more uncertainty. We need investment, jobs, and an economy that gives people confidence in the future.
Instead, Danielle Smith is putting our economy at risk to appease her separatist friends.
Watch. An Angus Reid poll found Ford most unpopular Premier in Canada at 21% & will sink even lower after Ford & Calandra won't fire Peel supervisor after an email was mistakenly distributed identifying teachers at risk of layoffs.
If police are permitted to roll stop signs when it's safe to do so, they shouldn't be ticketing cyclists doing the same in High Park on the MGT or anywhere...

Liberal MPs in Toronto where are you????
We need your support to stop jets and land grabs at the Island.
The majority of TO has spoken - almost 55% oppose expansion and jets.
Silence is assent. If you seek reelection don’t think we won’t remind voters
The pro-jets survey put out by the Liberal government makes it clear that Toronto Liberal MP’s are backing Ford. @canadaGray makes that clear in his point by point assessment. You should use this survey to push back and the MP’s should back their constituents not Ford.
Make your island airport plans public, Mayor Chow tells federal port authority
Federal authority has plans, but won’t share them unless mayor signs NDA

Görüntüler Batı Şeria'nın Nablus şehrine bağlı Hawwara kasabasından,israil askeri Filistin'li genci ailesinin yanında zorla kaçırmak istiyor, genç itiraz edince orada yargısız infaz yaparak katlediyor, dünya, israil terörünü konuşmuyor !
The Carney Liberals are selling off Canada's airports. When Heathrow was privatized in the UK, fees skyrocketed and service took a nosedive. I asked the Liberal finance minister if Canadians should expect the same here: higher fees & worse service at airports. He wouldn't answer.
My @TorontoStar column: To call the island airport expansion idea "half-baked" is an insult to baked goods. There are scant details and few credible projections.
Toronto is in an absurd situation — debating a notion instead of a plan. That won't fly.

@DFisman@beth_doc@juliedabrusin@juliedabrusin replied to my email. I included my postal code so she could verify that I live in her riding.
Included lot of stuff we need to worry about, consider but didn’t reject expansion. I guess this will be a Liberal Party decision and all MPs will have to toe the line.
The Globe and Mail just published an opinion piece by the American-funded Fraser Institute in which they advocated for this same type of policy in Canada
This is why Pierre Poilievre never clarifies what his proposed "payroll tax cuts" are either - they're cuts to EI and the CPP
We know the Ford has overplayed his hand here: there is no business case for expanding Billy Bishop. The environmental, housing, and traffic consequences would be disastrous.
I am encouraging Ward 11 residents to fill out in the survey. Let them know we don’t want this!
