Dear Julie Vignola,
If you think the Governor General is expensive, just wait until you find out how much elected presidents cost.
#QP
The budget of @JohnTory leads directly to this. Cuts have impacts.
Anyone running for mayor needs to be held to account for supporting this past budget and to explain how they will fix this

Bev Oda didn’t resign over orange juice. She changed hotels to a more expensive one so that she could smoke in her room, and she had a demonstrated pattern of expensing limousines. It was never about the orange juice.
I know that the mats from the rink were probably heavy
But having the workers park on the walking path, so that the truck then parks on the grass, while the backhoe pulverizes the grass as it loads the mats
I dunno. Is a lighter touch not possible?

ALT City of Toronto trucks parked on a walking path, a large truck parked on the grass, a backhoe loader on the grass. In Dufferin Grove Park, grass torn up from the vehicles

OMOV is not actually democratic! It has the appearance of it, but it lacks the fundamental mechanisms and accountability that democracy should have.
Caucus selection is actually democratic because it is elected members who choose and who can hold the leader to account.

Have Canadians forgotten this?
Have we really forgotten what the government @PierrePoilievre was a part of did to limit our fundamental freedoms ?
All his accusations are to distract from what HE has done.

In Mr Tory’s TO a rainy February day doesn’t warrant protecting unhoused people from the elements
Because in the richest and largest city in the country, it’s cheaper to let them freeze outside
@JohnTory, the austerity dispensing @Roger’s Mayor, continues to disappoint
#TOpoli
Today, people are asking me for #TTC fare to go to a warming centre. I have to tell them that @cityoftoronto did not decide to open them, and unfortunately there's nowhere to go after we close. They are asking me why, it's wet and cold outside, and I have no answer.
The largest and richest city in the country refuses to protect unhoused people from the elements. Because it’s cheaper not to.
Mr Tory, fan of austerity, part-time Rogers Mayor, continues to underwhelm the people of this city.

"We don't want homeless people on the TTC, so we're going to pay $1.7m/mo for 80 cops to patrol the TTC; we can't open 24/7 warm spaces to give people somewhere to go besides the TTC because we don't have enough staff" is a problem with an easy solution.

Breaking: man with gun tells pedestrians that they’re responsible for not getting hit by 3 ton steel battering rams. – at Jersey City, NJ
Road safety is everyone’s responsibility. In our 3-part series on #roadsafety, we’ve touched on the roles of drivers, cyclists, and now pedestrians.
Did you know that when the flashing hand with a number countdown begins, it is no longer safe to begin crossing the street?

The billionaires at Davos are "learning to live with Covid" in its true sense: ventilation, HEPA filters, FFP2 respirators, mandatory PCR tests.
Now the rest of us deserve to be #DavosSafe

Politicians and the rich are very well aware of the seriousness of sars2 infection. They are creating an environment where they are absolutely not treating it like a cold. At the same time working people and families are told we don’t need mitigations. It’s a vascular disease.
Starve Slash Sell
The “conservative” playbook. How do you call yourselves a conservative if all you want to do is demolish public institutions? What are you conserving exactly?
If you’re disgusted with this get involved politically.
Volunteer, donate, strike
No time like now
1) Cause problem
2) Blame Trudeau
3) Fix problem via cronies

# of COVID deaths per year in Canada:
2020: 15,307
2021: 14,606
2022: 19,035
Let's get one thing straight: 2022 wasn't the year that we “learned to live with COVID.” It was the year we were told to ignore COVID while it continued to cause mass suffering, disability, and death.

Trudeau isn’t withholding health care money. He’s protecting health care money from ending up in a slush fund.
Seems CBC is pushing the narrative that the Trudeau government is withholding a needed bump in healthcare transfers.
I support Trudeau's stance that new increases must be tied with simple accountability & transparency.
@fordnation hasn't accounted for unused federal COVID19 $s

A sitting Toronto city councillor @Mark_Grimes, who was a mayor @JohnTory council ally, actively sabotaged a city program on behalf of the @BlueJays, which is owned by a corporation that pays the mayor $100k/year.
Nothing to see here, of course.
Here's a link to the integrity commissioner's report. Among other findings, it says that the now infamous letter from Blue Jays CEO Mark Shapiro opposing ActiveTO was ghost-written by former councillor Mark Grimes toronto.ca/wp-content/upload…
This does not represent mainstream Alberta. Government of the fringe, by the fringe
