Jordan Neely was a person. Our society left him stranded, and, because of his desperation and our warped priorities, his existence filled people not with sympathy but with fear. Then he was killed, and that is a tragedy, because he was a person. armoxon.substack.com/p/jorda…

Trying to see something. If you’re a man, and you can understand why a woman would be upset about deepfake porn being sold of her non-consensually, can you RT? Restore my faith in humanity 🙏🏻

It’s REALLY important for everyone to understand the truth that designing your city for cars fails for everyone, including drivers. Designing a city with CHOICES in how to get around works better for everyone, including drivers. Think we could we get to 1 million views of this?

This aft, I'm proposing we fix Ontario's health care staffing crisis by turning the lights back on in public ORs and filling every available shift. To shorten wait times and get people the care they need faster. It’ll cost less and deliver more. I'll keep you posted. #onpoli

One by one, the Ford Conservatives stood up in the Legislature and voted against this simple solution to their health care staffing crisis. We will keep proposing fixes to the real problems that people are facing right now. Because Ontarians are counting on us. #onpoli

NEW: NDP Leader Marit Stiles has asked Ontario’s Integrity Commissioner to investigate whether Premier Doug Ford’s daughter’s stag-and-doe or wedding, which developers and lobbyists were invited to and attended, violated MPPs’ ethics law. Here’s a letter she released.

Rights have to be fought for, and they can be reversed by those who oppose them (see: Roe vs Wade in the US). If someone tells you they're a homophobe, you better listen.

Interpreted as performance art, what John Tory is doing right now is actually a daring and incisive commentary on the complex, craven and contradictory nature of municipal politics. He is truly a special, world class artist.

A reminder that in 2010 the City had a surplus on operations and a brand new land transfer tax. Successive Conservative Mayors and Councils have thrown that fiscal sustainability away, in the fantasy that you can build a great city for free. You cannot.

Do it. First, because it’s right. But also, force Tory to choose whether to use his ill-gotten veto, after saying he will resign, for the purpose of denying warming centres and the restoration of transit service. Do it, and force his would-be successors into the same corner.

Replying to @BenSpurr
Progressives had planned to reopen Tory's budget and make changes they say are vital, like opening warming centres, reversing transit cuts, and reducing police spending. But if they move those motions, it triggers the strong mayor rules, which give Tory up to 10 days to veto.

BREAKING: Gil Penalosa @Penalosa_G, the globally respected urbanist who was the runner-up in the recent #Toronto Mayoral election (which was won by “unbeatable incumbent” #JohnTory, who resigned yesterday) has already confirmed that he'll run again for Mayor. VERY interesting!
