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.”

Bosses will absolutely coerce workers to work. #canlab

NEW: The Ford government tried to quietly close the public feedback period on its new education bill, changing the deadline to submit comments from May 13 to May 4 without notice. They reversed course after we asked why they were limiting public input:

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

She works night and day, building people power where she lives.

Her 28 nominators are not political props: they're workers and neighbours who have her back, as she has theirs.

This is what an organized community looks like.

This is how we win!

[Chiara Padovani @chipadovani]

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.

[Kerch 🍉 @matt_kercher]

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.

@chrisglover @normsworld Good question

[Chris Glover @chrisglover]

Is Doug Ford still planning to seize Billy Bishop Airport now that he won't be needing it to land his gravy plane?

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.

avi lewis getting doug ford to publicly humiliate himself and lick billionaire boot on television is amazing early returns on his NDP leadership.

Maybe if we tell Ford the LRT is actually a spa he'd pay for it

@BradMBradford Trash click bait would be to much of a compliment for this BS
