Avi , I had never heard of Tony before the CLC debate. I was totally impressed !
He has some brilliant ideas that should be incorporated into the NDP platform.
Food self sufficiency is a real important plank.

Polite bike rides will not change Ford’s reptilian brain.
Direct action will !
Block traffic at major intersections with bicycles during rush hour.
That’s how true Dutch built a cycling culture.

How can the NDP reconnect with voters?

Scrap the focus-tested messaging. Communicate directly with passion and substance. And start advocating for solutions as big as the crises we face in ways people can understand.

It wasn’t the City of Toronto that supercharged the Gardiner work. The Gardiner was uploaded to the province, reversing Harris’s downloading from the 90’s.
It was prioritized because Ford - Cars.
The City has to tiptoe around Ford’s anti cycling bias

The Toronto Board of Trade, which has carried so much water for Ford, endorsing his billionsdollar impossible 401 tunnel to this. They used to push good policy. They’re hosting an event for the Min of Transpo & his/Ford’s highways obsession.

This is a pay off to institutional investors like hedge funds to buy up ALL the rental housing in Ontario and raise rents higher by greater percentages than they have in the past.
Watch Toronto shrivel and die.

Ambulance uses bike lane to get around traffic

Ambulance uses bike lane to get around traffic

Ambulance uses bike lane to beat traffic

Ambulance uses bike lane to beat traffic

Last weekend saw a lot of road closures in Toronto. Great to see ambulances using bike lanes to get people in distress where they need to go quickly.

The trope touted by Ford and his like that bike lanes delay EMS response times has been proven false time and time again.

ICE forcibly remove woman in wheelchairβ€”pick up & blind man and throw him down on the concrete.

"Agents picked me up and threw me to the ground," he wrote. "They did the same thing to another person in a wheelchair."

The incident occurred outside the ICE facility in Portland, Oregon. #DemsUnited

F Is for Fascism CBC called the other day for an interview about the apparent rise in swearing in politics.

F is for fascism. We need to start talking about the disintegration of the rule of law south of the border as the imposition of a modern gangster style fascism.

It is time to start a campaign like The Stop Kindermoord movement in the Netherlands.
It is time to Stop Doug Ford’s Child Murder laws !
Keep Speed Cameras !
Keep Bike Lanes !
Increase the number of Judges !
Increase the no. of Prosecutors !
Stop throwing out 250,000 traffic charges !

And it's true the Netherlands were able to start change in the 1970s from car & driver dominance by focussing on children

"Stop de Kindermoord" aka Stop the child murder.

We should start using that language then (not the Dutch part)

For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."
