#BREAKING On Monday, I'm taking the first step to fix the housing crisis by forcing a vote on Homes Ontario. If Doug Ford says no—New Democrats will keep pushing. And if he keeps saying no, we'll get him out of the way in the next election. #onpoli

💯 I'll take the lane every time, if I don't have a bike lane. Should probably install a camera on my bike/helmet... Thing is, I'm usually faster than most cars on Yonge, Bloor, University, & even up here on North York's roads (Finch, Sheppard, etc), but I'll still take the lane!

There are now about as many winter bikeshare riders as there were summertime riders in 2019.

Paying $13M for the repairs necessary to keep the Ontario Science Centre open through to 2034 would have been the equivalent of reducing the $200 pre-election handout cheques to $199.19.

Here's an idea: donate your $200 bribe from @fordnation to the #ONDP to help get rid of our premier buffoon. act.ontariondp.ca/donate/today?s… Put our tax dollars to better use.

$3.2 Billion is a lot of money and could be invested in making healthcare in #Ontario better. It could pay for 🧑‍⚕️36,000 nurses, 🥼17,000 doctors, or 🩺3,200 MRI Machines @fordnation would rather hand out a $200 bribe than find you a family doctor #onpoli

We have spent six years systematically gutting billions from public healthcare, education and social services which will take decades to repair, but please forgive us with these one-time $200 cheques from @fordnation. No thanks. #CantBuyMyVote #onted #onpoli #cdnpoli

How many people on ODSP could be lifted out of poverty if @fordnation prioritized them over $200 for all? #Onpoli

The fact that the 401, 400, DVP, QEW, Gardiner (and many more) are regularly a bump-to-bumper standstill, and that none of them have bike lanes, should make it clear that bike lanes and bicycles are not the problem. #TOpoli #ONpoli #BikeTO

It has been 21,000 days since the @MapleLeafs last won the @StanleyCup. #LeafsForever

This would be fantastic. And it would be fundable if Ontario didn't give $200 to everyone in the province & didn't build a giant underground parking garage 4 a private luxury spa. But I have no hope for @fordnation to make the right choice.

This is unbelievably egregious. There is likely no construction in Ontario that should be exempt from an EA, but a new highway across protected wetlands and agricultural lands most DEFINITELY needs an EA. Only reason to do this: minimize blowback from an EA w/ dire consequences.

@fatimabsyed Congrats to you! Very well deserved.

I'm deeply honoured — and incredibly shook — to be recognized as one of the top environmental journalists around the world among reporters who "represent the keystone of a global effort to speak truth, motivating positive change in defense of our shared future."

It's funny because it's true. 🐢🐇

Ripping up our roads will make people less safe, make traffic worse, and put lives at risk. Full stop. I challenge the Premier to talk to people who have lost loved ones on our roads and hear their stories. It might be hard for the province to do two things at once but, as leaders we have to —tackle congestion AND keep people safe at the same time! As I’ve said before – the congestion in this city is partially the result of the province’s failure to deliver transit projects on time and has led to long construction delays and years of road closures. Stay in your lane, open the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRTs and fix the chaos at Metrolinx.

We don’t need to replace bike lanes in Ontario. We need to replace our Premier. #onpoli

I love a good fracas! Count me in :)

“We learned that only 7% of our customers were using cars to shop along Bloor Street.” We keep designing streets for cars whose goal is to drive away from the neighbourhood as quickly as possible. Small businesses are starting to realize that that’s bad business.
