Scarborough needs better rapid transit. We need to build the Eglinton East LRT. Last week we announced the Waterfront East LRT with our Federal and Provincial partners. We’re grateful for the partnership from the Prime Minister, Premier, Federal 416 Caucus and local MPPs. It’ll be transformational. Now, let’s land a deal for Scarborough. The City is spending millions designing the line right now, so we can hit the ground running and build it. I’m naming it Toronto’s top transit expansion priority. I’ll be working with my provincial and federal counterparts to land a deal to get it built. Let's reverse years of underinvestment in Scarborough, together. See my motion below for Executive Committee next week on getting this line funded and built for the people of Scarborough and all Torontonians.

"U.S. allies in the Gulf and a succession of European leaders made clear Thursday there should be no tolls or restrictions on the critical shipping route. Europe is dependent on energy imports from the region." NATO nations could theoretically prevent tolls by escorting ships.

The one thing I don’t understand, however, is why Carney wants to cobble together a razor-thin majority government through a bunch of Conservative floor-crossings instead of just calling a snap election he’d surely win.






These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.

I am totally radicalized on the issue of criminal justice. We should increase executions by like a thousand percent. Bring back hard labor. Bring back corporal punishment. Bring back public lashings. Bring back public hangings. Our ancestors were right about all of that.

@stephenfgordon LPC up about 7 pts from elxn and have lost 7 pts. back to NDP. Our math suggests they've gained about 14 pts. from CPC. Appears to be traditional status quo conservatives uncomfortable with Trump/that form of populism and like Carney. Considerable churn and reconfiguring
