Eric Lombardi

No!

Wow! Danielle Martin is an incredible candidate for U-R.

She’s a strong defender of the universal Public Health system in Canada while being an advocate for reform.

Her pragmatic message has been that how we do things matters, and that many improvements don’t have to raise costs. Future HM?

Whether you agree or not with the premises here, it's refreshing to see a progressive party leadership hopeful outline a real vision they'll look at campaigns and policy through. The OLP and ONDP have been running a simplistic "Doug Ford bad" playbook for 8 years that is simply not resonating.

Everyone’s managing decline. I’m exploring a run for Ontario Liberal leader to fight for growth Ontario should be doing much better. But all parties are stuck on pause.

Fantastic read from @ericlombardi.ca We need 100 politicians like this #onpoli

I think it’s really cool that Eric is making a run for Provincial politics.

It’s always been the level with the most power yet least interest in solving housing issues.

Plus he’s super wonky #onpoli

In the Hub today, I publish why I am considering running for Ontario Liberal Party leader.

“You cannot micromanage your way out of scarcity. You have to take risks, trust people and businesses, ensure healthy public systems, and then give productivity the space to work.”

Thank you so much Colleen :) could not have done any of it without you!

One of Eric's best qualities. He won't always end up agreeing with you but he will always hear you out.
For the bike lane Qs, know that Eric went into the mouth of the beast (AM 640) so that Ben Mulroney's complaints wouldn't go unchallenged, to make the case in a way that might convince opponents.

I was a long time City Hall follower but knew little about zoning until 1 chat with Eric during a pandemic Zoom. That's why I joined More Neighbours when he started it. Many were on the Yellowbelt's case before us, of course, but Eric motivated people to get involved politically, make change happen.

Welcome a young'un to the ring.

No! I believe in showing up to participate in debate :)

Je suis un ancien candidat aux élections municipales de Montréal. Je suis content d'apprendre qu'Eric Lombardi songe déclarer sa candidature à la course d'investiture du Parti libéral de l'Ontario. Il est temps que les YIMBYs s'impliquent en politique active !

Because they invited me to speak about housing!

🚨 EXPLORATORY ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

Ontario can be so much more than it is today.

I am exploring a run for the leadership of the Ontario Liberal Party because I believe in growth, opportunity, and institutions that actually deliver.

Let’s talk about Ontario’s future. 👇

Thank you so much!

I can't say enough good things about @ericlombardi.ca. Joining @moreneighboursto.bsky.social was one of the best things I had going for me starting in the pandemic and after. It's truly amazing what we have achieved.

Best of luck to Eric, and I'm keeping my eyes peeled for what's to come. 🫡

I’m stepping down as Chair of @build_toronto.

Build Toronto is about giving builders, entrepreneurs, and civic leaders a place to argue for growth and non-partisan change for the benefit of our amazing city.

I am excited for the opportunities ahead, stay tuned. (3/3)

I’m stepping down as President and Board Member of @moreneighboursto.bsky.social

MNTO started as a small group of people frustrated with the status quo on housing. I’m grateful to everyone who showed up, spoke out, and helped move the conversation forward.

I’m stepping down as President and Board Member of More Neighbours Toronto, and as Chair of Build Toronto.

I’m deeply grateful to everyone who’s helped build these communities. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together, and excited for what lies ahead. (1/3)

The MTSA zoning *should* be a confirmatory exercise but it will still be important to have pro-housing voices show up to make sure that happens. Find the public meeting closest to you.

Love to see my good friend and incredible housing activist @jacobdawang.com given a well deserved shout out in the @theglobeandmail.com today, for providing evidence of the success of Edmonton’s recent housing reforms.

DARE TO BUILD, AGAIN: 10 BIG IDEAS FOR A BETTER CANADA IN 2026

While global headlines scream uncertainty, we still have real power to make life better here at home.

I expect some to be controversial, I hope they inspire too, take a read!

thehub.ca/2026/01/09/d...

My BS alarm is going off like crazy.

Toronto asks its leaders to deliver more housing, modernize infrastructure, and run major services, yet it doesn't reward the civic leaders who actually do.

buildtoronto.com/memos/reward...

Today’s @build_toronto memo (and last one for 2025) is among my favorites.

GOOD CITIES REWARD RESULTS. TORONTO SHOULD TO.

Give it a read below 👇

This memo comes from Michele Romanow— one of Canada’s most accomplished entrepreneurs and investors.

Canadians must open their eyes to our growing culture of corruption Not just one-off scandals, corruption is now embedded in our governments, systems, and culture

My latest for @TheHubCanada

CANADIANS MUST OPEN THEIR EYES TO OUR GROWING CULTURE OF CORRUPTION.

This is not a left or right problem. It is a Canadian problem. And we must see it plainly for what it is.

thehub.ca/2025/12/06/c...

We support housing of all types. You can too.

Want even better parks and public spaces in Toronto? With better maintenance, programming, and events?

Toronto already has a great example of a public space managed by a non-profit - The Bentway!

Today’s memo is simple, how can we get more places like it?

Take a read!

The Bentway is a great public space. It transformed unused space beneath the Gardiner Expressway into a park, with art, recreation, and community recreation, that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors ever year.
