😒 Toronto’s Harris Institute to Close After Nearly 40 Years As a @HarrisInstitute alumni this is awful news.
the decision follows major changes to the #Ontario government’s post-secondary education plans – @billboardca.

"the decision follows major changes to the #Ontario government’s post-secondary education plans, including the restriction of student visas for private colleges, the OSAP freeze on student loan payments and the elimination of grants for private college students. - @billboardca.
"Many of its graduates have established successful careers across the music and entertainment industry,
"Multiple alumni have earned the industry's highest honours, including Grammy and Juno awards." - @billboardca.
The music industry operates as a foundational piece of Ontario’s wider arts and culture sector, which injects $26 billion to $27 billion annually into Ontario's GDP.
😒 Gimme a break! This guy is laughing all the way to the "bank."
The price of food and household supplies is freaking out of control and people are starving.

Sophomore album ‘Kunlé – The Journey’ is deeply personal and built upon reflections collected over many years on his self-discovery journey. ‘Àjà – Whirlwind’ is a big opening number, using strings, keys, and layered vocals to elevate a global roots sound to an orchestral level.
Laurie Lockhart retweeted
As a singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, Kunlé infuses folk and roots music with traditional instrumentation and storytelling from West Africa to create a global folk sound. His celebrated warm live performances have seen him perform with Töme, AHI, and Shakura S’Aida.

Nurses fired. Students losing OSAP. Schools crumbling. People struggling to survive.
But don't worry! Doug Ford just broke another record, spending $117 MILLION of your money on government ads telling you how he's "Protecting Ontario."
Ford couldn't be more out of touch. #onpoli

NEW: The Ford government has broken its own record for ad spending.
Internal documents show its advertising bill climbed to more than $117 million last year, according to internal documents — the highest total in a single year in Ontario’s history.
A breakdown of how the money was spent in this story by me and @CharliePinkerto: thetrillium.ca/news/governme…

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.”

Plus beautification/cleanup, arts, environmental concerns, jobs and opportunities for our youth and re-open our magnificent Weston Arena for use of all ages.
The ward of York South-Weston finds a bustling race for city council between a veteran politician and her grassroots challengers. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/10/…

And now it is even worse in rockcliffe Smythe. The so called flooding mitigation plan will make flooding worse west of Jane according to the City’s own documents. Over 600 trees removed and more soon. What the heck @FrancesNunziata? @MayorOliviaChow
#WalkingTheCity I am convinced that #InfrastructureCreatesCulture. Tory & Council have failed suburbs. Today I rode Jane by Steeles, Finch, Wilson, Church, Lawrence, Eglinton, St Clair, Dundas. Shame on elected officials who’ve done terrible public spaces & even worse maintenance
