Doug Ford said it "I love the USA" including Los Vegas. So his plan is to turn Toronto Island into Vegas. He needs roads (DVP and Gardiner), an airport BB, a parking garage, a Spa, and control of the Island. He is already doing it but did he ask us? Nope.
Today, I joined Mayor Chow to announce that Ontario will officially take ownership of the Gardiner Expressway and the Don Valley Parkway by fall 2027. As the new owner of these critical highways, our guarantee is simple: We will never toll them and we will never tear them down. news.ontario.ca/en/release/1…

If @MarkJCarney Liberals sign on to kill the beautiful Toronto waterfront skyline & islands with this useless, unwanted airport expansion which will cost ON taxpayers billions and whose main benefactor is an AMERICAN BANK every single T.O. lib MP should lose their seat!!!!!

This fake consultation asks in what way we should let Doug Ford destroy decades of work to improve Toronto’s waterfront And with that, we are now fighting Mark Carney’s plan to destroy decades of work to improve Toronto’s waterfront

When the system is rigged for the rich while the 99% struggle to afford the basics, public ownership is how we take back the economy.

Carney building a massive airport on Toronto’s waterfront would be a historic mistake inflicted on the city Consistent effort over 50 years has recovered Toronto’s waterfront from an ugly industrial area, and now a dumb decision by him for a US bank might undo it all

REMINDER: Ford cut Toronto council IN HALF DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN IN 2018, but sure Steve. Fuck the Ford government to high hell. Just the fucking worst.
NEW: Government House Leader Steve Clark says the Ontario Legislature will only resume on Oct 27 because the government doesn’t want to “interfere” with the municipal elections. #onpoli

Ford is obsessed with being "mayor" of Toronto. Aside from the horrifying plans he has for the city - what do people outside of Toronto think of his utter preoccupation with the city? Rural ER's are absolutely in crisis. likewise family doctors & he has billions for an airport?

LISTEN UP ONTARIO: Something big is happening in Ontario, and almost no one is talking about it. Premier Ford has quietly passed a law that opens the door to water privatization across Ontario - and he's hoping you won't notice. The Water and Wastewater Public Corporations Act lets the government seize your local water system and hand it over to a for-profit corporation without your consent. History is clear: when for-profit corporations control our water systems, the results are disastrous: Bigger bills! Bad service! Dirty water! Water is a human right not a commodity. It's not too late to stop this. & Tell Premier Ford our water is NOT for sale. Take action now!

One of JP Morgan's lobbyists to supersize the Island airport is Mark Lawson, formerly Ford's Deputy Chief of Staff His lobbyist registration says Doug is one of his targets After then he went to work for Therme. No doubt Doug never talked to Mark Lawson about that, either
Premier Doug Ford says he's "never talked to JP Morgan in my life," responding to @richardwarnica's story about the Toronto Island airport's lobbying efforts and where that rabbit hole leads. #onpoli

The Toronto Port Authority is holding their AGM on June 11th. I read their Financial Statements - and they raise big red flags about their hasty support of Doug Ford’s plan to bring jets to Billy Bishop Airport: 1) Ridership is down at Billy Bishop 2) Billy Bishop is relying on higher operating fees to prop up revenue 3) Based on current revenue, they’d have to forego any profit for between 80-300 years to pay for the expansion 4) Based on their 2017 Environmental Assessment, the decision was made against introducing jets, and those conditions have gotten worse - not better Here’s my letter to the Toronto Port Authority. The public deserves answers to the following questions:

Así estalló hoy el juguete en forma de cohete del magnate capitalista Jeff Bezos, que sufrió una enorme explosión durante una prueba espacial en Florida (EEUU). Una explosión así puede emitir CO₂ equivalente a cientos o miles de coches diésel circulando durante un año completo. Mientras los capitalistas contaminan por hobby como si no hubiese un mañana, a ti te piden que hagas un esfuerzo por salvar al planeta.

Crying for whales harmed by sonar, for trees that stand in silence for decades only to be cut down in hours, for animals forced from their habitats into fires, noise, and destruction they never learned to escape, and for rivers and oceans choked by pollution.

Let's NOT ever forget that @fordnation & his corrupt PC MPPs voted YES to destroying & selling this to an American bank, Protect America first!
Replying to @fordnation

Just a reminder that Private Airports and Private Jets are known to be instruments used in Trafficking women and children, drugs, money and other criminal ventures. Is Billy Bishop really a TROJAN HORSE delivered by the AMERICANS.
Did Ontario just get snookered into a $5 billion airport expansion that no one wants for the benefit of a handful of American investors? The plot thickens. (You have to admit, it was odd how this popped back onto the agenda, out of the blue). thestar.com/opinion/star-col…

"Special Economic Zones" is just a fancy way of saying "I'll ram though whatever corrupt, undemocratic BS I like, while bypassing all legislative restrictions and there's nothing you can do about it". ##DougFordIsCORRUPT
