4 police and 7 security guards permanently stationed over 2 blocks of Church street. All because cars are now not permitted along this stretch. When anyone talks about “cost overruns” for pedestrianization, this is where it’s coming from. This cannot be the model going forward.

Imagine going ahead with a big project having no clue how much it’s going to cost taxpayers or whose going to own it

This whole deal seems to be held together by scotch tape

I don't believe in omens but Ottawa's Canada Day celebrations had to be cancelled due to #extremeweather right after Carney declared it was not in the country's best interests to meet its emission targets. It's probably just a coincidence but then again...

Hey @jamiljivani and @ToddJMcCarthy this is your riding. Why the silence

[Alan Deschamps @DechampsAlan]

Doug Ford’s closure of safe consumption sites + right wing councillors’ opposition to shelters has left many with nowhere to go but parks and ravines.

Last year, ABC Toronto’s preferred candidate, Brad Bradford, voted to stall the construction of an Etobicoke shelter.

"Do not go to the emergency department for a sore throat" Premier Ford has said. I'm here to tell you to ignore this non-medical advice as not all sore throats are the same. A sore throat can be acute myeloid leukemia. 👇👇👇

With written, informed consent from the patient, my ER colleague and I have submitted for peer review and publication, the case-report of a healthy patient who came to the ER with a worsening sore throat and flu-like symptoms. The physical exam was concerning and bloodwork was diagnostic for acute leukemia.

The bottom line is simple. Doctors, nurses and politicians don't get to tell people when to and when not to go the ER. We rely on and trust the general public to define a medical emergency. That's the best way to ensure the ER is the medical safety net for all Canadians.

[Ab Gamble 🇨🇦, grateful Canadian.. @AbGamble1]

@gator_gum Justin Trudeau brought in Rona Ambrose, James Moore and Brian Mulroney to hammer out our last agreement. Carney is bringing in Lisa Raitt, Erin O'Toole and Jean Charest. Poilievre is simply too politically charged to serve Canadian interests..

Doug Ford worsens public drug use

Kinsella blames Chow. This is what xenophobia looks like.

OPSEU is taking names, kicking ass. Time for other unions to jump in and help.

[Wendy Goodes @WendyGoodes]

This is reprehensible.
It shouldn’t be legal to disregard a court decision.
There must be some recourse available since the court decisions came prior to the rewriting of the law.
Is there anything Ontarians can do to change this?

[Corruptario @corruptario]

Instead of bargaining, Team Ford is firing and laying off public school teachers.

They are successfully driving parents and their kids to private and Catholic schools, where enrollment is growing.

This guy almost certainly saw the streetcar signalling a turn into Bathurst Station and tried to beat it on the inside instead of waiting.

Voting for people like @BradMBradford who is a clear shill for @fordnation is going to result in a lot of unnecessary deaths and harm to those who need protections the most. #topoli

[Michael Gerald Gibbs🏳️‍🌈🍁 🇺🇦 (He/Him) @Mikeggibbs]

It always astonishes me how some people have no problem using the most vulnerable and sickest among us for cheap political point scoring.

Demonizing them. Making them even more vulnerable.

From the same people who made them vulnerable in the first place by snatching away from them the safe places and health care they need.

Warren knows all this. Yet he's willing to do it anyway, winning at all costs.

Politics should be about helping people not helping yourself.

I like Bruce a lot but you can always tell when someone's a bit out of their element writing about music. Aside from the Daves suggestion (which isn't 100% terrible given the two Davids on the team), the real question isn't what is our national song ... its ...
