Cycle Toronto win. In response to our legal action, the province has backtracked from an alleged December start and confirms no bike lane removal will begin until at least March 2025. "Our goal is that they don't ever get the chance to start at all” Michael Longfield, ED.

Ford’s government can find $2.2B for a luxury spa, but can’t fix Ontario’s crumbling schools. - 40% of schools need repairs. - That’ll hit 75% in 10 years. - The backlog will balloon to $22B. Spas, not schools. That’s The Cost of Doug. teapawt.net/MaritStiles/status/186…

In Brantford today with @HarveyBischof, meeting parents, education workers—and students—about the state of our schools: leaky roofs, lead pipes, sweltering heat, freezing cold. Today’s FAO report says 37% of schools need repairs. If Ford doesn’t get his act together, that’ll skyrocket to 75%, and the repair backlog will balloon to $22B. This is about choices—and Doug Ford’s choices are setting Ontario’s students back a generation.

Wrote a letter to @TorontoStar , rebutting @PrabSarkaria's opinion piece in the Star where he (badly) attempted to defend his indefensible proposed bike lane ban. Read my letter and many others opposing the bike lane ban here: thestar.com/opinion/letters-… #topoli #bikeTO
Ontario Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria’s opinion piece on bike lanes reads like someone who drives through Toronto rather than someone who lives and spends time here. All arguments he presents with respect to cycling in Toronto are easily debunked. Spending at businesses went up after Bloor Street bike lanes were put in, Toronto Emergency Services have not raised any concerns about delays due to bike lanes, and Bikeshare Toronto averaged more than 170,000 rides per month in winter 2023. The minister’s clear lack of understanding of local bike lane conditions illustrates why he should focus on provincial issues rather than municipal ones. Norm Di Pasquale, Toronto

On September 30th, the systems which uphold colonialism are still in place and the harm continues. Reconciliation in practice has shifted away from transformation or ending harm and towards comforting Canadians. Read the full Brief: yellowheadinstitute.org/2024…

Today is Orange Shirt Day also know as the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. It’s a day to reflect. It’s a day to mourn. It’s a day to remember the ones that never came home. It’s a day to learn about Indian Residential Schools. Let’s walk together on this journey.

In 1930, she disappeared after being taken away to the Ontario Hospital, over 2000 km away from home. Annie's story becomes the story of all children & adults who disappeared into Indian Residential Schools & Indian Hospitals, TB sanatoriums and asylums.(2/4)
