Imagine living on a bit over $1300 dollars a month - that’s the reality for some disabled people in Ontario - and the province has no plans for a funding increase: documents | CTV News #odsp https://t.co/gq5Lg98Bwh

Reminder: Behind every “self-made” billionaire is inherited wealth, government subsidies, tax loopholes, and labor exploitation.

“Used as a rough comparison, it suggests Mr. De Gasperis’s 725 hectares could now be worth as much as $725-million – vastly more than the total $21.5-million property records show his companies paid for the land.”

Seems like the privatization zombie needs to be slayed again. Here is one of many papers noting that both (1) private pay and (2) corporate for-profit delivery of publicly funded health care tend not to result in better population health or lower costs.

Article rips the Ontario Place EA process "The NFL may have a very low rate of concussions if your study sample excludes players from consideration. The Don Valley has almost no car traffic in it if you exclude the portion occupied by the parkway." https://t.co/IbH7GHYBGD #onpoli

Rogan guest: The earth is flat.

Critic: That’s nonsense.

Rogan: Ok, debate him on my show.

Critic: That would only add to the stupidity.

Rogan: See, you’re afraid. Just more proof that geography has failed us as a science.

@TorontoStar Meanwhile, isn’t it RBC that is ‘fuelling’ climate change with their continued investments in the fossil fuel industry? @RBC needs to step up to #EndFossilFuels

We have asked the Federal Government to step in at Ontario Place. No one should be able to cut 850 trees, wreck fish & bird habitat, and drop a glass MegaSpa in a migratory bird runway without some level of scrutiny! https://t.co/xlBzHbZ7lR https://t.co/8yQapSP5gV #topoli #onpoli

I just wish Conservatives would be honest. "yes, the services in Toronto aren't to the standard people deserve. Perhaps we went too far in keeping taxes so low the City cannot afford transit, road repair, parks or anything else that makes this city special. Or liveable"

@ONPlace4All’s team of experts in architecture, urbanism, law, & environment, have rendered an alternative proposal for the development of the @OntScienceCtr + @OntarioPlace. It is thoughtful, sustainable, + cost effective.

Toronto - I love you, but I can’t stand fucking stomach you. A busted, broken city under a
the thin satin cloak of “Toronto ranked best in the world for..” perceived obsolescence. Quickly becoming a hollow city, friends. Vote please.

@CheriDiNovo 22 BILLION DOLLARS! Not million. Terrible public services that we all rely on crumbling or sold off to private interests care of the @fordnation while we stare at a climate emergency that threatens our very existence as a species. #FordfailedOntario
