@culturedcode for such a thoughtful app repeating tasks feels like an after thought. I recall seeing reference to it being addressed years ago yet nothing. Any chance it’s on your radar?
We’ll be successful to Save our School Pools if we take action together. Over 6000 people have already signed our petition and contacted their MPP since the TDSB report came out proposing to close Toronto’s school pools. Please share the petition widely! https://t.co/5LJsHPtUYw

Ontario Place lease leaves $2 billion shortfall that will cost taxpayers compounding interest for 95 years. This interest will total between $32.4 billion (@3%) - $ 59.9 trillion (@10.9%) @ONPlace4All @chrisglover @TDotResident @corruptario
My column on revelations from Ontario’s auditor general. This dumb, destructive deal for @ThermeCanada will cost the public $2.2 billion (!) https://t.co/HXXLAZh6sM
With the removal of the “north plug”, the new Don River is allowed to flow freely into the lake. With the completion of the river, we’ve officially created a new island right downtown, putting new housing within reach. This success is thanks to collaboration between all three levels of government.
To achieve this feat of engineering, countless people across multiple disciplines have applied their innovation and skill. Check out the portraits we’ve captured of people working on site, going back to 2019: https://t.co/Ymd8YIpxCi
This provincial government (which will be reelected) is leaning into car culture, sprawl and appeasing NIMBYs. A recipe for an even sprawlier, less concentrated region with total gridlock everywhere.
Make no mistake: the flooding we see in the city today is no surprise. It is an outcome of politicians taking a very very very shortsighted view of infrastructure planning and investment.
Take a look at this vote from 2018 requesting an increase in stormwater infrastructure spending. It failed.
Disinvestment in the city leads to the mess you saw today. Same with traffic congestion. Both are an outcome of a broken approach to municipal infrastructure financing - and a lack of leadership.
Every politician who voted no to this - and many more similar votes that were about necessary reinvestment - should be held to account.
They made this mess. This is entirely solvable. We even know *how* to solve it and we have the plans to solve it. But politicians refuse to fund it. Now we will waste billions cleaning up the mess.
One step closer to creating a new mouth for the Don River with the removal of the West Plug. Thank you @juliedabrusin@sandhuamarjot1@ausmalik@PaulaFletcherTO & MCFN Cllr Erma Ferrell for participating in a water ceremony yesterday, led by Elder from @mcfirstnation, Val King.
