@marymargaretbey Your reminder that @PaulCalandra and the Ontario PCs could amend and approve the Bathurst (and other) MTSAs that have been sitting on his desk since January 2022. That would allow this building to be built today for $0 cost to taxpayers. x.com/scottaaitchiso…

Once again, if the provinces want unconditional money, they should just raise their own taxes. Instead they want all of the money but no taxes.

We are glad to see Ontario and @PaulCalandra working with counterparts in B.C. and Quebec on permission for Mass Timber up to 18 storeys. But it won’t have impact without places to build. That requires changes to zoning and local design rules that thwart viability!
Ontario to adjust its building code to allow #MassTimber construction of up to 18 storeys. This is a positive step for building sustainable communities! (📸 Brock Commons, Vancouver) More: news.ontario.ca/en/release/100…
This is a SUBSTANTIAL announcement from the Federal government and @SeanFraserMP Every level of government has put aside accountability for hard choices on housing. But the Feds are acting - and telling Ontario and cities to get their act together. Major progress!

This is good news for @UofT Welcoming the world’s best and brightest to our cities should be a no-brainer. It’s good for the students, the institutions, and our local economy. The real story here should by why the cap was used before a single $ went to building student housing.
I see Ontario transit/housing Twitter is talking about the Greenbelt. I personally prefer to keep it development-free, but provide frequent + reliable rail transit to communities beyond it. Let’s help small communities grow sustainably, not sprawl (ex Shelburne, Collingwood etc.)
I grew up on Bloor and watched my SFH neighbourhood *shrink* by 35.7% in population. The first thing you notice is no more children. No more trick or treaters. No more kids playing in the street. Young families can’t afford it. It’s actually sad 😔

NEW: As Premier Doug Ford rewards mayors for meeting housing targets it turns out he isn’t achieving his objectives — and risking $357M in federal funding for failing to do so. #onpoli thestar.com/politics/provi…
#BREAKING: Federal Housing @SeanFraserMP is calling on Ontario Premier @fordnation to reverse his opposition to as-of-right fourplexes, saying the province “chose red tape and the status quo” instead of addressing the housing crisis #onpoli
Folks underestimate how much happier Canadians will be when they have real housing freedom again. It will empower folks to live better lifestyles, take more risks, and have more kids. Housing abundance isn’t just about affordability; it’s about raising quality of life!
Double fares for Toronto transit riders will soon be a thing of the past with the TTC set to join Ontario's one-fare program later this month. toronto.citynews.ca/2024/02/05/ttc…
Part of the reason @UofT is one of the world's top-20 (!) universities is because of its global presence - international students, collaboration and impact, here & worldwide. Universities enhance Canada's global reputation. Let's not lose what we've built. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editor…

There was a time when Universities prided themselves on providing exceptional 'student life' - and part of the collegiate experience was living in residence with fellow students. An experience, for many, that was just as important as class time. But as Universities continued…

The future of our cities depends on attracting and retaining young people. A great reminder by @AidanMThompson that City Hall must have meaningful engagement with young people in order to address our housing crisis. @globeandmail #Coquitlam #HousingCrisis tgam.ca/3HCLwBm

Thank you for your support, Cindy! “This by-election is an important opportunity to send a message to Doug Ford’s Conservatives that Milton deserves better. Galen Naidoo Harris is the best choice for Milton.”
🌧️ April showers bring May flowers. 🌷 And this year: CaféTO patios actually open in May, too! 🍻 We made it easier and faster to get approved, introduced a streamlined renewal process for returning businesses, and set a goal to get the patios installed and opened faster.
In just over an hour, this became our best fundraising email of the month.🔥 If you're also sick of Pierre Poilievre's antics, chip in now ➡️ secure.liberal.ca/donate/

BREAKING NEWS The NDP bails out Trudeau again. NDP blocked a vote from calling Trudeau’s successor, Mark Carney, to committee. Singh and the NDP are doing everything they can to keep Justin Trudeau in power.
Canada's daily QP is unique opportunity to question the government and important accountability session. It would be nice if it could revolve around policy and not turn into a name calling competition. Democracy is fragile. Safeguard it.

Milton's Liberal candidate says he wants to hold Ford "accountable." "Whether it's the quarry, whether it's housing, health care, education, it's broken promises and it's Doug Ford not stepping up for people in this community," cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
So good to meet you today @JoshMatlow, thanks for coming out! You're right, voters want a responsible Ontario government that works to help them get ahead and they're not getting that with Doug Ford. If elected I'll fight every day to hold him accountable.
I’m knocking at doors to elect @GalenNHarris as the next MPP for Milton. Residents here tell me they’re sick of Doug Ford wasting tax dollars on Highway 413 & an Ontario Place spa. They want Queen’s Park to focus on priorities like education, healthcare & housing affordability.
This is on point. @OntLiberal introduced the BUILD Ontario Act to not only make fourplexes legal, but make building them feasible. #onpoli
