Bike lane removal is continuing along Bloor Street West.
Cyclists now pedalling in mixed traffic say they've had close calls and they're worried about what's to come

Remember - the scandal isn't merely the PROCESS (secret emails and Vegas massages).
The scandal is that the @fordnation government tried to dismantle the greenbelt - & is still trying to shift homebuilding back to sprawl- when they KNEW it'd result in FEWER homes slower.
NEW: FOI'd records show a paper trail from Mr. X to David Piccini's office to a key staffer in the Greenbelt controversy before the land in question was selected for removal.

Doug Ford and the @OntarioPCParty government continue their on-going assault on local democracy.
Now they are refusing to swear in democratically elected school trustees throughout the province.
NEW: The Ford government says trustees in supervised school boards “will not be sworn in” immediately after next week's election.
The province is asserting its power to call meetings in eight boards and trustees will only take their oath when the meeting is officially called.
No timeline for when that will happen.

God love the media for “following the money” on this story…it’s not over.
“The Royal Canadian Mounted Police launched a criminal investigation into the scandal in the fall of 2023. Its investigation is ongoing, the Mounties said earlier this month.” #onpoli #GreenbeltScandal

I’m proud to support Mayor Olivia Chow on her re-election. Her record speaks for itself and her policies have been transformative for our city. Good politics can change people’s lives, and nobody embodies that better than Mayor Chow.
Toronto, don’t forget to vote on Monday, October 26!
I’m so happy to have the endorsement of the Leader of the @OntarioNDP — @MaritStiles.
Together we advocate for strong public services, for workers, and so families can build a good life here in Toronto.
As the Member of Provincial Parliament for Davenport, Marit has been a longtime champion for our city.

Doug Ford says: "Buy Ontario."
Ford threatens to shut off Ontario electricity flowing to the US in the trade war.
Ford then signs a contract to buy electricity from the US, supporting US companies & making us vulnerable to US trade retaliation.

These 32 #BloodBikes commemorate the 32 people killed on Bloor, Yonge & University in 20-years before bike lanes were built.
After bike lanes were installed only one tragic loss of life has occurred in 6-years since 2020.
Bike lanes keep EVERYONE save, not only people cycling.

The end of municipal democracy in Ontario.
Ford appoints his cronie as Chair of Muskoka Region.
Ford has stripped the people of Muskoka, Peel, York, Halton, Niagara, Durham, Waterloo, and Simcoe County of the right to elect a Regional Council Chair in next week's election.
Instead, he will appoint the Chairs—who will be able to force through decisions even if 2/3rds of elected Councillors vote against them.
#onpoli
NEW: The Ford government is expected to name Conservative MP Scott Aitchison as Muskoka’s first “strong chair,” @readpolicorner has learned.
Aitchison announced late last month that he would leave federal politics to “explore new opportunities.”

It’s insane to me that all the municipalities, during a current election are hush about it
It ought to be a mayoral platform to take back their local power
But the current status quo is to be a little glory (pie) hole for Doug ford

Ford continues his all out assault on local democracy. He continues to appoint regents to run principalities in Ontario.
Party insiders are running their own fiefdoms.

All this legislation was passed in 2023.
You heard nothing about it, and that's no coincidence.
Ford appointed a former chief of police as the "super mayor" of York Region almost two years ago.
They keep you in the dark and feed you shit, my little mushrooms.
