Just about every day there's something new for the 'This Fucking Government!' file. 😬
Ontario rejected the City of Toronto’s proposed affordable housing requirements on dozens of specific properties after at least three real estate investment trusts asked them to do so, the Star has learned. trib.al/jmSzs45

If Carney lets this airport scheme proceeds, it may well be my single issue next election.
The GTA is a Liberal fortress, until it isn't This unpopular AF casino/airport scam from a criminal Premier that planned it in secret (and passed laws to hide the crimes) should NOT be the hill the LPC die on Carney can't be this naive. He has to kill this bs. He MUST kill it.

In fairness to drunken sailors, they only spend their own money. 😬
He has not, he's typical con and spending like a drunken sailor.. Not for the taxpayers, bit for his friends..

There will be debates about exactly when it happens or happened, but I thing his legacy will be ending 80 years of American world hegemony.

100%! I snort when I see the constant refrain of 'Doug Ford needs to do this, that, or the other.' Doug Ford knows what he should do just as clearly as anyone else, but he won't do any of it because it's not what HE wants and no one is stopping him from that.
Replying to @MemoryFramer
What people do not see is Doug Ford secret agenda. The reason he is ignoring the obvious is because he is not focused on the same things we are. He is thinking about making Toronto Island into a giant casino. He needs BB, parking, highways, a Spa and control of lands to build it.

The people who stand to benefit from the scheme are vastly outnumbered by people who will suffer from the negative effects daily.
It doesn't take an Urban Planner with 25 university degrees to tell you that Toronto population has already bursting at the seams. Why are all the suburbs in the GTA growing and growing? There is no more land available in Toronto to build on. Adding more airport to service....

Of course, this government's record clearly shows that they think that 'botch' and 'improve' are synonyms.
Two ticket-reselling platforms named by Ontario for allegedly breaking its strict rules are pushing back, accusing the Ford government of botching the implementation of the new system. globalnews.ca/news/11900975/… #onpoli

If one of them is your MP, make sure they know you're paying attention.
A single NDP MP from Edmonton is a louder voice for Toronto residents than 23 mute Liberal MPs Carney destroying our waterfront would be a historic mistake for this city and the Liberal Party

Agreed, although to be fair the planet will be fine, we're just attacking its ability to support human life. 😬
I’m sick and tired of people mocking those who care about the planet. Clean air matters. Living forests matter. Healthy oceans matter. Animals matter. Biodiversity matters. Wanting a livable world for future generations should not be controversial.

A useful message for the people who think an expanded island airport will be as easy to use as the current one, only better.
IMPORTANT ARTICLE. Ford’s waterfront jet plans will make Toronto gridlock far worse. Many jet supporters ignore this. Federal consultation is not based on response to a detailed plan and is biased. Use it to send a simple NO message. The battle continues. thestar.com/opinion/star-col…

Trump’s threat to not renew CUSMA is as believable as his pledge that peace is at hand with Iran, which is as believable as his promise to bring down prices on Day One. Stop listening to his frantic rantsβ€”and to his apologists in Canada. /2

Time to peg production royalties to world prices.
Oil companies will capture $90 BILLION this year from the war on Iran. Canadians are paying for it at the pump. New Democrats are calling it what it is: war profiteering. It's time to tax this unearned windfall and put that money back in Canadians' pockets.

I am a signatory to this letter. Open, fully informed and unbiased public hearings are required, supported by due diligence and meaningful analysis. The public cannot be expected to provide informed feedback when neither the proposal nor its impacts have been properly presented. Forgive us for being suspicious, but all we have so far is a process the Province deliberately rushed into place to cut Torontonians out, and a federal consultation process built around a survey that reflects neither the complexity of the issue nor the information needed to properly evaluate it.

When Gord was the only grandfather to ever play in the NHL, he even LOOKED like one!
10 years ago today, we sadly lost "Mr. Hockey" Gordie Howe. Mr. Hockey will always be the greatest of all time.

Worth noting that this is a higher percentage than that of Ontario voters who gave this abysmal government a majority in the last election.
NEW: Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s approval rating falls to its lowest level since he first took office in 2018. The latest Angus Reid data shows a 10 point drop down to 21% approval. Ford also finds himself at the bottom of the list among fellow Premiers. #onpoli

The RCMP announced a Greenbelt investigation in 2023. It’s now 2026. No charges. No public update. No explanation. Ontarians don’t need a particular outcome. We do deserve transparency. What’s the status of the investigation? #GreenbeltScandal #DougFord #ONpoli #RCMP

My sample survey questions: With regards to Billy Bishop airport are you in favour of: A) Keeping it the same (best $ value) B) Turning it into a public park (best ❀️ value) C) Expanding it for billions of dollars while destroying the environment to save JP Morgan’s investment.

Presumably, since this idea came to Doug AFTER his idea to dig the world's longest tunnel under the 401, he thought that was a better one. 🀑

Yes. People who want it expanded because they like using it now are throwing out the baby with the bathwater, to use an ancient saying.

It won't be as easy to use if this goes ahead.

Can't read this without thinking of the end of Mussolini.
Premier Doug Ford shows Pennsylvania, Governor Josh Shapiro, his favourite painting. The governor asks the Premier where his portrait will eventually go. Ford: β€œThey’re going to hang me somewhere, I’m not too sure. But I don’t want them to hang me too soon.” #onpoli

Do you think Billy Bishop Airport will still work like that if it's 3 or 4X the size? No, it'll be Pearson without any parking.
I fly ottawa to bill bishop 1-2/month. I can get from my house to airport in 10 mins, no checked bag... boarding 30 mins later... in sky 30 mins later... land in billy bishop 29-47mins later... wait 5 mins to get off plane..... 5 mins to walk out airport... hop in uber to dt....
