Tonight, we saw firsthand who has the vision and strength to move this country forward instead of dividing us. @KamalaHarris will be a president for all Americans.

Congratulations to Caroline Adderson, whose short story collection, A WAY TO BE HAPPY has been included on this year's @GillerPrize longlist!
A special shout-out to @coachhousebooks, @Arsenalpulp, and @HouseofAnansi. We love to see independent publishing represented on the list!
Look @JackieMorrisArt who i met! @RobGMacfarlane did a great job @writerstrust but he really could have used you drawing the Otter as he recited from #TheLostWords now we need to get you over here!
I’ve heard a few people say over the past few months, “do Mayor’s even matter, when you have a hole in the budget as big as we do, isn’t the job to lobby other governments.”
Let’s connect some dots:
- appointment of a pro-transit Budget Chief, @shelleycarroll
- announcement of new revenue tools last week
- TTC service level cuts reversal after decades of service reductions in many areas
Mayors matter.
#GreenbeltGrab
This was never about homes. This is a land play. A modern day gold rush, enabled by the rule bending of a government entrusted with protection of our farmland and drinking water.
The false outrage in this statement is a tell.
#GreenbeltScandal
Cool cool Doug Ford gave away our Greenbelt right from under our noses to a China-based investor who has no experience building housing.
John Dong said the real-estate listing was to help find a "joint-venture partner with the experience necessary to help us develop the property."
Part of the due diligence process that Planners go through when assessing a rezoning application is to consider the capacity of the developer to deliver the project as stated.
But then again, there was no due diligence process here, was there?
This is why we have rules and regulations.

As an observer from Canada with no skin in the game, I find it odd that Biden’s alleged decrepitude is becoming a bigger public issue than Trump’s alleged criminal behaviour.
Pleased to see that are one step closer to getting the answers that Ontarians deserve on this government’s questionable record-keeping surrounding the #Greenbelt scandal.

Thank you @maritstiles! Kudos for listening to Ontarians who don’t want the MegaSpa, and do want to be consulted on what comes next at Ontario Place; it’s our money, and it’s our Ontario Place! #topoli#onpoli#SaveOntarioPlace
Ontarians know a bad deal when they see one.
This week at Queen's Park, your @OntarioNDP team will be calling on Ford to cancel his sweetheart deal for a private luxury spa on public parkland at #OntarioPlace and imagine something better. #topoli#onpoli
Ontarians concerned about health care packed the public galleries at Queen’s Park today to witness the Ford Conservatives pass Bill 60 - their plan to privatize our health care even further. #onpoli
ALT A large crowd gathered on the grand staircase at Queen’s Park with me, MPPs Gélinas and West, and Natalie Mehra from Ontario Health Coalition, Erin Ariss from ONA, and Michael Hurley from CUPE / OCHU.
