Premier Ford’s government is about to start ripping out bike lanes without the consent of Toronto City Council. This morning, we stood with Etobians and Torontonians in defence of these bike lanes that are keeping all road users safer. Demonstration today, 5pm at Tom Riley Park!

Time for some election fact checking on Toronto's water budget. We heard a claim from candidate Brad Bradford today that implied that the City's capital reserve fund for water infrastructure (sewers, pipes, & water treatment) is unnecessary. This is dangerous & short-sighted. 1/4

This fund builds our water filtration plants, our watermains & sewers, our basement flooding protection infrastructure & more. It's not a frill. There just was a 100-year storm that would've been much more damaging if Toronto hadn't invested in #floodprotection measures. 3/4

Naturalizing the mouth of the Don and upgrading sewers in key flood-prone areas, mitigate the damage from events like the recent 100-year storm. It would be a very big mistake to drain the resources we have to protect our city from worsening #climateimpacts. 4/4

Renewables are affordable because they don’t need fuel. So affordable that electricity is being provided for free in the UK and Australia. We need to stop burning stuff for energy! thestar.com/news/canada/they…

They get free electricity to run AC and charge EVs. Why is Canada missing out?

Australia and the U.K. have more solar and wind power than their electrical systems know what to do with — so they’re giving it away.

Thank you to all the Councillors who raised big concerns with AI data centres. Because of your work, all new applications for major data centres will get a closer look while City staff develop a full report for 2027. @ParthiKandavel @DianneSaxe @BravoDavenport & Chris Moise

AI data centres around the world are using up too much energy & water. Toronto needs to pause approvals of new large data centres until their full impacts are known. Read our letter to Council here: assets.nationbuilder.com/toe… #topoli

We did it! 📢 The Feds are blocking the Toronto Island airport jet expansion. Working alongside many allies, through community canvassing, outreach & thousands of emails to Federal MPs, it's clear, we don't want jets on Toronto Island. People power works. Thanks to everyone!
