@TorontoStar “You know something, I never get involved in municipal elections." – Doug Ford, quoted in this piece, 2026 Bill 5 has entered the chat, one of the first things he did when forming government in 2018. Just a blatant, objective lie.

@Ward3Toronto @jm_mcgrath I agree, but Chow simply does not deserve reelection. She has changed basically nothing, and made housing issues worse imo. If Bradford is bad too, ill vote against him next time.

@generalequilib @jm_mcgrath The problem with Bradford is who knows what you'll actually get. The offering seems to shift with the slightest breeze... I do think he has capacity, he's not an idiot, I just don't trust him to act in the interests of the City over the interests of his own political ambitions.

@generalequilib @jm_mcgrath Again, I won't argue that there is questionable spending, across all munis, and I won't argue that there isn't poor project management, either. But Bradford isn't going to magically materialize a massive expansion of capital project capacity at no cost to the taxpayers.

@generalequilib @jm_mcgrath Furthermore, last year was one of Ontario's worst development periods on record. To position that like an easy gap to fill when it under represents both the lost revenue and impacts to capital budget is... a choice.

@generalequilib @jm_mcgrath I think that is a VERY excellent question that should be taken to local councillors and the mayor. I think failure to deliver on approved capital plans is an issue impacting many municipalities. None of this addresses the budget gap.

@generalequilib @jm_mcgrath FAFO. Toronto is one city with MASSIVE capital obligations. "Well we used to do it this way decades ago" doesn't fix the billions in capital budget gaps across hundreds of municipalities created by that move. But lemme know how it's going in a decade, if you don't mind.

@generalequilib @jm_mcgrath No one wants to pay for anything. This is just a game of musical chairs. If upper levels refuse to fund municipalities while they cut and waste their own revenues, municipalities either jack up property taxes to cover or growth stops.

@generalequilib @jm_mcgrath Because he doesn't want to be responsible for fixing what he breaks. Capital projects will grind to a halt. What would he do next, legislate mandatory property tax increases to recoup the lost revenue and use if for growth-related infra projects?

“This is going to make a massive massive difference,” Ford says. Ford calls on municipalities to reduce development charges to spur even more development. #onpoli

NEW: Premier Doug Ford confirms what we reported this morning. All home buyers will get a hefty tax break on new build housing, for a one-year term. The federal government is mirroring the policy meaning the full 13% HST will be waived. This is a $1.4B provincial spend. #onpoli

How else will we fight Donald Trump's tariffs if we don't spend billions of dollars on a conference centre and wellness spa?

To protect the stable character of Neighbourhoods, growth will be directed towards areas like the Central Waterfront. At least we’ll enjoy the lake breeze! LOL, no! Fresh air is for people in houses. You will live between an elevated expressway and a commercial flight path.

@jdrumm11 Wonder how blue York Region residents would feel if a Liberal provincial government stepped in and started running the place like expropriation-happy strong mayors.

Massive airport project cancelled by the Fed because demand doesn’t justify it, but Ford is out here cancelling thousands of housing units so he can expropriate Billy Bishop and expand it for jets. Genius move reelecting these guys, Ontario. JFC.

Premier Doug Ford claims the city Toronto is approving tall condo towers in the Portlands to block jets at the island airport. “They’re doing it on purpose … they want to block the runway so they’re building tall apartments or condos,” Ford says. “That’s not going to happen.” #onpoli
