Mamdani: Free buses would cost $700M. Cuomo gave more—$959M—to Elon Musk for a failed Tesla factory. Don’t tell me we can’t afford public transit when billionaires get blank checks for hype.

Those shocked by the "Gaza Riviera" plans would do well to recall Bali. In 1965-1966, the US sponsored a genocide in Indonesia that killed at least a million people. The killing fields had not yet been cleared when US luxury hotels started construction on the bones of the dead.

Whilst people talk about Barack Obama listening to Ice Spice Let me remind you that he is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people. Obama spread terror, death, and pain all over the world. Here is a thread: 🧵

Ludicrous society that can build up and tear down an Indy course - concrete barriers, fencing, grandstands, hospitality suites - for a four day weekend, but can’t figure out how to put a roof over the heads of a relatively small number of refugees.

Yonge and Eglinton right now is a fucking national tragedy.

Newcomers pay development charges (etc) to live in new apartment buildings, which would pay their own way in tax revenue anyway. This keeps down the tax bills of people in big houses, who don’t pay the cost of their services, *and* who’ve won massive windfalls. Grotesque.

It’s time to acknowledge that Toronto has shown no vision for @ExPlaceTO. 200 acres of pure inertia. A new mayor should address this ASAP.

The City has also shown a real lack of imagination right across the street, at the Exhibition Grounds — it should have had a grand, big vision masterplan that combines it with Ontario Place into one massive, generational city-building opportunity.
