The Toronto General Hospital (where anyone in the vicinity of my office, rich or poor, would be taken and treated at no charge, right now, if I were to fall seriously ill) - is the 2nd highest-quality hospital ON THE ENTIRE PLANET. Single tier, single payor, FOREVER.

Legalizing small-scale retail and commercial services in residential neighbourhoods would be an excellent start. #topoli

I want Torontonians to be able to shop local, age at home, have places to meet up with friends and have fun & vibrant communities. Allowing small retail like convenience stores, cafes and grocers in neighborhoods would contribute to our quality of life. Let’s do it.

My government is cancelling the capital gains tax hike. We’re going to incentivize builders, innovators, and entrepreneurs to grow their businesses right here in Canada and create more good-paying jobs.    It’s time to build the strongest economy in the G7.

@OntarioNDP Wow. How about you partner with the liberals instead of this. Collaboration is real leadership in the face of the moment we are in. Neither party will win without the other. Enough.

Bonnie Crombie took $25,000 in donations from private health care lobbyists. How can we trust the Ontario Liberals with our health care?

This isn't about congestion. It's about distraction. Its so you don't ask @fordnation about Ontario Place, or collapsing housing starts, or the billion-dollar funding shortfall among universities, or the growing shortage of GPs, or a dozen other messes. thetrillium.ca/news/municipal…

@RichardCityNews Once again, the bike lane issue in the headlines helping Doug do exactly what he intended it to do: Distract Ontarians from Doug’s disastrous leadership, Closed ERs, housing crisis, privatizing health care care, destroying Ont Place, RCMP criminal probe…

Dear Ontario Premier Doug Ford (@fordnation), My 10-year-old son was identified with a need last year and had to change public schools. I now bike him 2.2km to school in the mornings and he bikes home alone. We use the 8-year-old Bloor Street bike lanes which make the roads safe for him to do this. With the roads full of Amazon delivery vans, speeding Ubers, massive buses, and whizzing food delivery e-bikes my son was nervous to bike alone. We got him a rear view mirror and bike lights and practiced together a few times. He uses the Bloor Street bike lanes which are full of many other kids riding to and from school. You are now proposing to spend $48M in provincial taxpayer money (1) to overrule the wishes of the City of Toronto (2, 3, 4) to rip out these bike lanes, which you know pose a direct safety threat. (5) If this happens we’ll need to ask his grandfather to pick him up in his car. I’ll likely start driving him in the morning more since his grandfather's car can’t fit his bike on the way home. Instead of what we need and want—*more* bike lanes that are proven to ease congestion, traffic, and pollution (6)—you’re proposing I spend more money, use more gas, spew more fumes, get less exercise, and create more car traffic. In 2017 you spoke about bike lanes on @TVO and said: "You're nervous when there's no bike lanes. At least I was. We have to make sure there's never a death in the city. One death is way too many when it comes to bicycle riders. I felt so much safer when it's separated." (7) Please reverse course here. Keep the bike lanes. It’s not too late.

Thousands of Ontario residents came together to send a message to @fordnation and @PrabSarkaria that bike lanes save lives, solve congestion and transport goods.

Ontario Premier promises to take bike lanes off Bloor. Inbox, BIA repping 270 businesses there says they: "a firm believer in the actual evidence that concludes that bike lanes on Bloor Street are good for business, improve safety for all road users, and reduce congestion"

#topoli #onpoli Re-upping this @spacing column from last week. I keep waiting for @oliviachow to offer a much more assertive response to a gross incursion into municipal jurisdiction and green transportation. So far, crickets... spacing.ca/toronto/2024/1…

@JaneyGodley Sending so much love, you are a gift to the world.

I’m now at end of life care - palliative care-and will be going into a hospice for the foreseeable - thanks to everyone who sends me love and support- you’ve been amazing

Toronto could have a magnificent central park. It just needs to close the Island Airport. It's time for this conversation. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article… #topoli #Toronto

@BlairScorgie Congrats Blair! Looking forward to continuing to work together.

I am pleased to announce the founding of Scorgie Planning. If you are interested in learning more, visit us at scorgieplanning.com.

A gentle reminder that Japan has a national zoning code that allows commercial in almost all zones.

@EricDLombardi I say the land and homes should be given back to indigenous peoples.

“Toronto Islanders have been paying far less property tax than mainland homeowners and renters. A motion at city hall aims to change that” Not change enough. This community either needs to become a park or be zoned for waterfront-like density. thestar.com/real-estate/to…

Toronto could make a huge climate impact by upzoning to let more people live in its dense, walkable neighbourhoods. Including, and especially, in ⁦@DianneSaxe⁩’s ward. thestar.com/toronto-is-los…
