Move Forward with Sheppard

A new motion risks delaying or even shelving the Sheppard Ave E Complete Street indefinitely. Nothing in Bill 212 blocks the City from proceeding with the project. Tell the City we need leadership that stands firm, and not let fear of bullying block our progress.

You work hard for every dollar you earn. You pay your taxes, but expect they’ll go toward the services & infrastructure we all rely on every day. And then you find out your money’s gone into Doug Ford’s slush fund to hand out to his friends. This corrupt government has to go.

When a cabinet minister in the UK was caught speeding 7 times, he lost his license.

When another minister lied about speeding, he ended up in prison.

In Ontario The Ford government's response is to ban speed cameras.

16.6% of Ontario youth are out of work.

And when Doug Ford was asked what his plan is?

He said young people should “Look harder.”

BREAKING: Ontario’s Auditor General says Ford’s Skills Development Fund process was “not fair, transparent or accountable.”

Add it to the pile.

Greenbelt: “Not transparent, objective or fully informed.”

Ontario Place: “Not fair, transparent or accountable.”

Doug Ford promised to protect Ontario’s economy, but by every measure he is failing.

Windsor, once Ontario’s engine of growth, is now at 11% unemployment — the highest in Canada.

Jobs are vanishing, families are struggling, and Doug Ford has no plan to turn it around.

12 times????? What the actual fuck!?

Ford clearly doesn’t care about crime!

Ford is a fake.

Jones Av is a 2.2km long street that connects 7 elementary schools & 1 high school. A #TransformTO’s dream.

A 40kmh streets with ZERO School Zones at 30kmh & ZERO protected cycle lanes. Both would prioritize the safety of vulnerable road users. A #VisionZero nightmare 1/

The REV Saint-Denis is great too, but I think this protected bike intersection might be my new go-to recommendation for people visiting Montreal who want to see high cycling volumes in the North American context.

Congratulations @cycletoronto.bsky.social for hosting a fantastic Big Bike Ride - it is awesome that the #BikeTO community raised over $50,000! It was a treat to ride with everyone 🌟💕🚲

Nepalese villages are swept away by heavy rainfall and landslides, leaving at least 44 dead | CNN Landslides, a lighting strike and floodings triggered by severe rainfall killed at least 44 people in Nepal on Sunday, with five others reported missing, authorities said.

Our hearts are with the people in Nepal. 💔

Warming oceans = more severe rainfall. Unless we stop burning fossil fuels, vulnerable communities across Asia will keep paying a steep price for a crisis they didn't create.

The same Doug Ford who wants to ditch speed cameras claims he's "giving municipalities across the province a lot of money to put in all sorts of street calming methods" is wasting millions trying to undermine the Charter and rip out existing protected bike lanes.

Very credible.

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

I *love* this new protected intersection. I think it’s the most exciting new bike infrastructure in Montreal since the REV Saint-Denis.

I sure hope there aren’t any major mayoral candidates planning to pause or remove cycling infrastructure. That would be awfully inconvenient right now.

Even in Israel, people are WAKING UP.

Hundreds of peaceful Israeli protesters blocked military vehicles and personnel from entering into Gaza while calling for an end to the g3n0c1d3 and occupation.

Minister approval for bicycle lanes required 195.3 (1) In the circumstances described in subsection (2), a prescribed municipality does not have the power to construct, install or mark a bicycle lane on a highway or part of a highway under its jurisdiction and control unless the design for the bicycle lane has been approved by the Minister and, in considering whether to give such approval, the Minister may require information from the municipality including traffic information relating to the design for the bicycle lane and the highway.

Bill 212 is arbitrary and reckless, but it does NOT block every new bike lane project in Toronto or anywhere in Ontario. And to date no municipality has been prescribed to require provincial approval, not even Toronto despite the (now unconstitutional) attempts to remove Bloor, Yonge, University.

What an impressive project! Giving back to the city such a primal and relaxing space, with some dystopian vibes with the buildings in the background.
These are the things that mske people want to travel there.

Every bold urban transformation asks a question: what will people remember—the controversy or legacy?

Showing great leadership, Seoul Mayor Lee Myung-bak bet on the latter, replacing a motorway with a waterway.

Two decades later, absolutely no one regrets the decision or remembers the controversy.

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

The Ford Government gave away $750 million to low ranking projects for his skill development fund, constantly picking poor programs over high ranking ones. The government is also refusing to give any documented reason for $500 million in project allocation. Just another Ford scandal where he's

That level of relaxation can only be achieved in a car free environment.

Maybe this is a subconscious reason why people love resorts so much.
