This is the kind of sleazy politics that turns people off entirely. @fordnation caught behind closed doors saying he will,“open up the #greenbelt”, then publicly saying he will “unequivocally not touch the greenbelt”, to now just opening doing it.
It’s all around wrong. #onpoli
Expanding the island airport was on nobody’s agenda — except some private equity bros in New York
They have obviously spent lavishly on polls, all-level lobbying, and PR, signalling they think they can make a lot of money off us Canadian rubes
They manufactured all of it
@isaaccallan@lindahaslett So because @fordnation was too stupid to realize Home Depot was closed on Family Day he has to ruin statutory holidays for retail workers that want them off.
I recall the same argument when Ontario began to permit Sunday shopping in the 1990s. “No one will be forced to work on Sundays.” Instead, management just cut our hours and told us “well Sunday is available.”

Look out, #TOpoli - @chipadovani is one of the best organizers in the country.

This is what an organized community looks like.
This is how we win!
I just registered as a candidate for York South-Weston City Councillor! I’m so honoured and grateful to my amazing 28 nominators including… 1/5…

The Toronto Islands have been a cherished public space for generations — for rest, nature and community in the heart of our largest city. They belong to the people.
The federal government absolutely must use its powers to stop Ford's reckless land grab.
Because Avi Lewis cooked Doug Ford and then the ONDP actually found a popular policy position to campaign on that they borrowed from Avi Lewis.
Basically, people like unabashed left wing politics.
NEW: The Ontario government has purchased a used $28.9 million private jet for the use of Premier Doug Ford, the @TorontoStar has learned. The 2016 Bombardier Challenger 650 was delivered this week.

Zohran Mamdani: "If you are a Mario Kart fan, government is Yoshi and philanthropy is the Golden Mushroom, that edge we need to beat Bowser on the Rainbow Road. To belabor this metaphor even further, Bowser is corporate greed in this scenario."
