Everyone needs to read @JohnFilionTO book on the Ford Family!!!! It’s a great read! 📚
The family grew up, every man for themselves… No compassion or empathy at all!

This has been in my must-read pile for a while and I didn’t get to it until today. Three chapters in, and it’s a great bio. The Fords remind me a fair bit of the Trumps. Well done, @JohnFilionTO.

This might just look like a regular picture but whenever it pops up.. I remember that exact moment…
7 years ago my kids had just picked me a dandelion bouquet (favorite) . It was Mother’s Day. I took this picture and my ex husband just screams at me “ why are you trying look so seductive? You look like a slut. You know you’re fat and look stupid right? !” All in the car with the girls in the back seat.
I can still feel it all
So I will share this goddamn picture every year
And for the record I don’t think I look seductive I think I look sad af

The City of Toronto has a $1 billion hole in its budget. This is enormous (and against the law). Mayor Tory has not only left the cupboards bare, he’s removed the appliances and flooded the basement. Big Q in the election: who has a real and transparent plan to address?

Very concerned about the future leadership of Toronto tonight. Potential for a crowded field of mayoral candidates and low by election turnout could mean someone ends up with strong mayor powers despite an incredibly small segment of support. #TOpoli

So happy to see the Star endorsing a candidate with principles.
Proud to receive the @TorontoStar 's endorsement this morning, zeroing in on the issue of supportive housing in Willowdale: "At a time when housing of all sorts is in short supply, we need councillors willing to step up to the challenge. Our vote is for O’Brien Fehr." #TOpoli

Our team was here today at our campaign HQ along with Mayor John Tory, to kick off our 2nd last day of canvassing before election day Oct. 24. After months of door-knocking, making calls and delivering literature, our work is nearly done. On Monday, it’s up to you, Willowdale! 🗳
Incredible turnout to join @markusobf and I to knock on doors in Willowdale! Now, we're off to speak to residents about voting on Monday.

Only Markus O’Brien Fehr passes the leadership test in Willowdale.
In today's Toronto Star, I talk to voters about the 59 apartments for our most vulnerable neighbours, that need to be built at 175 Cummer: thestar.com/news/gta/2022/09…

In Ward 18, @MarkusOBF served as @JohnFilionTO's chief of staff & has helped champion the Transform Yonge complete street project. He recognizes we have more than enough evidence that safe streets can work in #Willowdale. #BikeTO #TOpoli #TOVotes22 #VisionZero

School yards are more of an issue for school trustee candidates - but city may look to partner when no city parks are nearby. We’ve added accessible play equipment to over a dozen #willowdale parks in recent years and are actively looking for great new ideas for the next ones.

It was great bumping into @joemihevc today at Toronto City Hall.
And a wonderful lunch w/ the office team of @JohnFilionTO!
Work is starting to feel kinda normal again.
Now to continue working together to make our city healthier, more equitable, and safer for everyone.
