The Toronto Port Authority is holding their AGM on June 11th. I read their Financial Statements - and they raise big red flags about their hasty support of Doug Ford’s plan to bring jets to Billy Bishop Airport:

1) Ridership is down at Billy Bishop
2) Billy Bishop is relying on higher operating fees to prop up revenue
3) Based on current revenue, they’d have to forego any profit for between 80-300 years to pay for the expansion
4) Based on their 2017 Environmental Assessment, the decision was made against introducing jets, and those conditions have gotten worse - not better

Here’s my letter to the Toronto Port Authority. The public deserves answers to the following questions:

[Heidi N. Moore @moorehn]

all my life living in New York, I believed in never gatekeeping, always sharing the good spots. But now I am at 180° away from that belief. Anything even mildly good about the city, if shared, gets ruined and overrun instantly. and the people overrunning it are pure selfish narcissists with no regard for anyone else, none of the city's spirit of situating yourself among others. Just selfish little suburban brats everywhere taking incredibly stupid photos. It really does have to stop somehow.

@theDYNAMICS That is on the manager. Hoffman has the yips and shouldn’t be put in these situations, I don’t know what Schneider is doing

Some sort of issue between bylaw and the food market near Yonge and Dundas has resulted in all the shops’ signage being removed. Landlord is dealing with City, but consider supporting the vendors as it gets resolved—foot traffic will suffer.

@theDYNAMICS I dunno, Dina’s down the street might be a new proof of concept for developers.

Hey @TonyKhan

What would it take in order for Toronto to be the host for All In 2027?

@vcarneiro @TheSlowBurn I genuinely don’t say this to be rude but if you remember when the Ossington bus was still electrified you are too old to understand the global cultural impact that Drake and The Weeknd have had on Toronto.

I need everyone in Toronto to agree to NOT SHOP ON MONDAY. Stand up for worker’s rights. The more they come after worker’s rights for the people in retail, the more emboldened they will be to go after yours.

Do not shop on Monday. I’m begging.

@TheSlowBurn @DJpastawater Nice Slice is a new contender.

Also the fact that the Raptors first championship came in an alternate jersey. You literally can’t buy them. They weren’t widely available at the time nor can you get a Mitchell and Ness throwback on them, same with the Cavs championship uniforms. These jerseys shouldn’t be rare but they are. @mitchell_ness

NEW: Mark Carney's Bill C-22 allows for the remote activation of microphones on phones, laptops, smart speakers, etc for surveillance purposes.

Nash is right - WWE wrestlers participate in highly-rated scripted programming every week. They should be SAG-AFTRA members already.
