Should I dedicate my dissertation to Frederick?

@Penalosa_G We shouldn’t just throw a 30 km/h limit on it. We need to rebuild these roads so drivers naturally drive 30 or less and cyclists and pedestrians have safe access to the street.

#WalkingTheCity At Parkside, where last year Valdemar Avila and wife of 48 years, Fatima, were killed by speeding driver. What has changed? Nothing! All streets while bordering parks must have max 30Kph, enforced! Together we can do real #VisionZero. #Toronto4Everyone #Gil4Mayor

@ibushfield @epat96 Honestly, I'm not sure policy decisions around densification are that substantially different in Toronto despite being amalgamated. I'm guessing at-large vs ward councillors plays a part in this. Etobicoke councillors are fine with core Toronto densification.

@kristynwongtam This is incredibly disappointing. The city badly needs more housing and density and this is a perfect place for it. There can be good critiques of the specific plan but "less density" is not a reasonable goal.

Tonight nearly 200 residents attended the #OntarioLine Corktown station meeting. Residents are critical of the Province's development plans. They want more parkland and community facilities, less density, respect for heritage, true consultation & livability. #RespectLocalPlanning

The city continues to spend loads of money on police and private security to evict just a dozen or so people instead of spending it on improving housing and services for those who need it. Absolutely disgusting and inhumane

Police and private security have arrived at Lamport Stadium. The city says they will be evicting the 14 to 17 people experiencing homelessness who live at this encampment

@trallala93 @m_layton According to @jpags the city is running this and they requested help from the police twitter.com/jpags/status/1…

Bellwoods right now: Houseless Torontonians, advocates and journalists alike penned in while other citizens stand watch. The city is running this encampment clearing with requested help from police and private security. Tory and council was briefed, spokesperson tells me

Toronto has a housing crisis that challenges our values as a society. It's not too late to change course.
In April, we set out to organize Toronto's pro-housing voices to advocate for housing ethics and justice. Today, we launch moreneighbours.ca

@TOAdamVaughan @rCanadaHousing We don't need support to help 10k people pay for homes at inflated prices, we need policies that reduce the prices of ALL homes

@rCanadaHousing Even the First-Time Home Buyers Plan has help 10,600 people purchase their first home..that’s 10,596 more homes than the number of billboards you’ve bought..or 7,014 more people helped than you have twitter followers..from our perspective..there is more to do and more to come../a

If this plan was "barely a post-card" what do you call the Liberal plan, a postage stamp?
Adam Vaughan@TOAdamVaughan
The Cons “Housing Plan” was a barely a post-card. While I support pulling Off-shore capital out of the housing market, the other elements of the motion were just a series of platitudes that barely made sense let alone anything resembling a policy..some were just plain bad ideas/2

I'll never understand how we got to a place in this pandemic where we are pushing more policing before paid sick leave.

Equity is baked into the Ontario #COVID19 vaccination plan but must be operationalized:
1. Lower age cutoff offs for disproportionately impacted postal codes
2. More vaccine allocation to heavily impacted regions
3. Prioritizing essential workers

@RM_Transit As someone who lived right next to an elevated portion of Vancouver's Skytrain I can tell you that it definitely makes the public realm worse. There are good areas adjacent to the Skytrain but the area along the line is not that nice.

@MeaghansTwitta You are going to ask for them to throw in some cheese right?

@kiwinerd From my understanding though, access to testing, ability to isolate, mask use, traditional contract tracing, and social distancing are all far more effective for controlling spread than this app. Unfortunately there is a lot of inequity with all of those as well.
English
@kiwinerd I agree that it is a problem but I'm not sure of a technical solution

.@WestJet does your website do anything other than this?
The super annoying thing is that the underlying API request is returning my flight details but it still won't show up here so I can't cancel it.

1. It’s important to be for something, and to not just litigate grievances.
I want to tell you why I support @jen_keesmaat for mayor.
