720 Bathurst - A Bailout by Another Name?
As reported, City Hall's purchase of 720 Bathurst Street comes after CSI faced financial strains post-pandemic with a $17.44M mortgage (renewed at 6.5% in September 2024) and was facing $5M in deferred building repairs and projected future cashflow deficits.
The City of Toronto's purchase of 720 Bathurst Street removes CSI's mortgage burden, transfers building upkeep to the public, and allows consolidation at 192 Spadina Ave. - exactly the stabilization outcome CSI identified as necessary in it's 2025 offering. A financially strained civic hub has been rescued with $16M in public capital. Is this a bailout by another name?

It’s rich to watch @DianneSaxe continue her @waroncars at Planning and Housing. All the while she owns at least TWO cars @AtmosphericFund parked at her mansion, that emits higher than average GHGs. LOLz

NEW: Doug Ford’s approval rating has fallen to the lowest level since he took office in 2018, according to non-profit pollster Angus Reid, as the PC Party continues to face backlash over the controversial purchase of a private jet. #Onpoli

An Emergency Task Force officer was fatally shot while executing a search warrant connected to an investigation into shootings at the US Consulate and GTA synagogues.
The incident marks a serious escalation.

Ok real talk: do you actually think @cityoftoronto councillors can’t do anything, and are handcuffed by the Province re the insane number of towers being approved? I ask you to consider: they could overload the OLT with refusals… but they don’t.

The thing cycle bros don’t understand, when they don’t run a cycling advocacy - they get information way earlier than the general public.
Advocates like @CycleToronto are also consulted more. This is the problem for anyone else who needs road or curb access. @NoCyclopathTO

I am impressed!
I was sure Donald Trump would never post anything about pride month. And then he posted this!
Clearly, I was wrong!

In just 70 seconds, this pedalphile films himself:

But no we don’t need to licence cyclists, right?

This is the last time we will address this. DS was an unregistered lobbyist at a firm called @brookmcllroy using legitimate media and social to push forward policies his firm helped build, so they could profit. This includes density enabling policies like #RapidTO
