This is how broken the democratic process in Canada is. A mega bank based in America hired an army of ex-Liberals, Conservatives and NDPers and bolted the issue of Billy Bishop expansion to the top of the priority list for Ford and Carney. No one voted for it. No one wanted it. No one campaigned on it. Torontonians are massively against it. We are under economic warfare. Ontario govt wiped out OSAP for students. Yet govts think it wise to spend their resources on an issue no one wanted except one mega US bank. This is the key danger of privatization. These foreign equity banks are massive, comparable to govts and have ability to bribe and buy out govts. JP Morgan just did it.
28 prominent Torontonians, including Margaret Atwood, David Mirvish and Hayley Wickenheiser, signed a letter demanding the federal government halt any changes to #BillyBishop airport until the city's residents are properly consulted. Read it here: trib.al/LAorT5Q

There's a huge need for Mental Health Services. Neurology aren't running out of friends either. We are all busy. Psychiatry is undermanned and overwhelmed. Public Services have been gutted by short sighted political decisions

Nobody voted for further underfunding and privatizing health care. To the best of my knowledge, it wasn't mentioned during the February 2025 campaign (or ever). What happened to the federal health transfer payments? Aren't they supposed to be used for public health care?
I wrote this about the proposed Toronto island airport expansion when the idea first appeared, seemingly out of left field. davidfisman.substack.com/p/d… @MarkJCarney @juliedabrusin #NobodyVotedForThis

Here's what we know about the Billy Bishop expansion. It involves: ▶️ Filling in the lake for a 900 m runway extension ▶️ Destroying a portion of the Toronto Islands ▶️ $5 billion dollars to be paid by us through taxes and passenger fees ▶️ Reduced housing in the eastern waterfront And the only one pushing for the expansion is JP Morgan, a Wall Street bank that began lobbying the Ford Conservatives & Carney Liberals a year ago. Is that not enough to stop it now? #ONpoli #Cdnpoli
We still haven't seen a plan on the future of Billy Bishop Airport. We still need a clear environmental assessment, a credible business case for any investment, and a transparent economic analysis showing the benefits for Toronto residents and our economy. There’s more work to be done and more details are needed.

Given the staggering prevalence of SCC, BCC and Melanoma in Australia, we advise people to use clothing and hats in addition to sunscreen. Ours, are tested and approved by the Authorities. 30min in the Aussie sun = 4 hours in the Mediterranean
The FDA experiment In 2019, the FDA gave 48 healthy adults commercial sunscreen and asked them to apply it four times a day to 75% of their bodies for four days. The agency then drew their blood at intervals for three weeks. Every chemical ingredient tested showed up in the bloodstream. Every one exceeded the FDA's safety threshold for additional testing. The findings were published in JAMA in 2020. The world was distracted by other things. Today's Case File is about what those findings mean, and why the products are unchanged six years later: open.substack.com/pub/gandal…

Many people won't remember history. If you do you will recall that every dictator slowly gained power by changing laws to protect themselves, reducing opponents opportunities to debate and worst of all replaced transparency with controlled publicity. globalnews.ca/news/11887534/…

The only way to get rid of Ford is by holding a massive general strike. All the unions need to participate. Ford is not helping any of your union members in the long run. His debt load is going to destroy millions of future jobs. The time is now. globalnews.ca/news/11876995/…

Complete horseshit. In 2018, Ford passed a bill to cut Toronto's Council in half in the middle of a municipal campaign. The bill was introduced on July 30, passed on August 14, and finalized by the Ontario Court of Appeal on September 19, for an election held on October 22.
NEW: the Ford government confirms the Ontario legislature will begin a 102-day summer break today, not returning until Oct. 27. Government house leader Steve Clark explains the province doesn’t want to interfere with the municipal elections, so they’ll return the day after.

Public health honestly has lost any credibility - very problematic, because now even when advice IS evidence-informed (like benefits of vaccination, for example), many do not believe what’s being advocated. Not adopting an evidence-base with Covid burnt a lot of social capital.
