Ontario Place lease leaves $2 billion shortfall that will cost taxpayers compounding interest for 95 years. This interest will total between $32.4 billion (@3%) - $ 59.9 trillion (@10.9%) @ONPlace4All @chrisgloverndp @TDotResident @corruptario

With the removal of the “north plug”, the new Don River is allowed to flow freely into the lake. With the completion of the river, we’ve officially created a new island right downtown, putting new housing within reach. This success is thanks to collaboration between all three levels of government.
To achieve this feat of engineering, countless people across multiple disciplines have applied their innovation and skill. Check out the portraits we’ve captured of people working on site, going back to 2019: portlandsto.ca/multimedia/po…

This provincial government (which will be reelected) is leaning into car culture, sprawl and appeasing NIMBYs. A recipe for an even sprawlier, less concentrated region with total gridlock everywhere.

Why the massive Don River redesign won’t stop flooding on the DVP — but what might
My latest for @TorontoStar:

Make no mistake: the flooding we see in the city today is no surprise. It is an outcome of politicians taking a very very very shortsighted view of infrastructure planning and investment.
Take a look at this vote from 2018 requesting an increase in stormwater infrastructure spending. It failed.
Disinvestment in the city leads to the mess you saw today. Same with traffic congestion. Both are an outcome of a broken approach to municipal infrastructure financing - and a lack of leadership.
Every politician who voted no to this - and many more similar votes that were about necessary reinvestment - should be held to account.
They made this mess. This is entirely solvable. We even know *how* to solve it and we have the plans to solve it. But politicians refuse to fund it. Now we will waste billions cleaning up the mess.

One step closer to creating a new mouth for the Don River with the removal of the West Plug. Thank you @juliedabrusin @sandhuamarjot1 @ausmalik @PaulaFletcherTO & MCFN Cllr Erma Ferrell for participating in a water ceremony yesterday, led by Elder from @mcfirstnation, Val King.

Those who actively work to remove public spaces are the villains of a city.
Make no mistake—they work on behalf of the few and abandon the people.

We want #Ontario's Science Centre Reopened!
Get It Done, Doug!
WWInc. retweeted
The corrupt Doug Ford government keeps wasting our money. Now, up to a $billion to campaign on getting beer into gas stations a few months early. There are real priorities that need investment including the Science Centre, our schools, transit and healthcare - to name just a few.

"Tech entrepreneur Adam McNamara: 'You keep #ScienceCentre open for children all summer & I'll personally pay for the 2024 panel remediation recommended by your engineers. Deal? Or, do you have a different agenda? I'll send the wire Monday.'"

Architects aren’t buying it!
“This is a health & safety matter,” the infrastructure minister says she’s not going to keep the Science Centre open & risk the safety of children. Advocates aren’t buying it: “they can spend a billion to cancel a beer contract early but can’t spent $40 million to fix the roof?”
