Highway 413 cannot proceed if federal government ‘does its job’ | The Pointer thepointer.com/article/2024-0… #Stopthe413 #onpoli
Our thoughts on Canada's federal #Budget2024: Many measures aim to reduce young people’s affordability pressures but commitments are small, especially by comparison with spending for those age 65+ 🧵...

Circling back to this and how big a deal it is and what it’s signaling. This is Ford and Calandra establishing “local control of planning” for like 99.9999% of the time. Municipalities will largely be able to do most of whatever they want and there will be no recourse.

Your government focused on "freedom" and "less red tape" and "small government"? 🙃

Let's get it done! We need to invest in more drivers and frequent transit FIRST - that means even electric buses, despite benefits, should be a secondary priority. If fare is too high, buses too infrequent and drivers too stressed, nobody will care how quiet or green the bus is!

Take action right now by contacting Federal officials and your MP! Let them know you're opposed to this polluting zombie highway that will only make congestion and sprawl worse, taking transit and housing funding away from cities to pave over farmland! act.environmentaldefence.ca/page/141037/ac…

@envirodefence: The federal "budget's use of public land for housing, federal money to remove financial barriers to rental apartments & provincial zoning barriers to density in neighbourhoods, is a refreshing contrast to Ontario's sprawl & mega-highways" #budget2024 #cdnpoli 🧵👇

Hot cities need MORE shadows, not less. Alex 100% gets it, as does anyone who actually lives in the city and not just drives through it, understands climate change and cares about people having free and frequent spaces to comfortably move, gather and rest outside.

For those concerned about the media love-fest declaring "Highway 413 approved" (and a massive tax burden coming your way, with MORE car traffic and LESS money for housing/transit/active infrastructure) - not quite: environmentaldefence.ca/2024/04/15/fed… #stopsprawl #stopthe413 #induceddemand
He wants to skim from that housing money to spend on his sprawl highways. It’s literally the only thing he cares about.

I’m glad to see the input I had on this map go into effect! I was the one who suggested renumbering 21A as 22, and fixing a lot of the labelling elements. This is a huge improvement over the first draft. Glad to see it finally go public!! Hopefully it makes taking GO bus smoother

#Mississauga continues to vote against itself. The city spent millions to build the Hurontario LRT, but won't eliminate parking mins in housing developments along the same route, ensuring that traffic along the corridor remains high Shouts to @OpportunCity for calling them out!

"As part of his pitch, Calandra plans to point out that a large number of Ontario’s towns and cities already have rules that allow four units as of right." Chutzpah. Govt wants credit for the work that, among others, Olivia Chow and Bonnie Crombie did. globalnews.ca/news/10420109/…
On April 8th, I spoke to item 6.3 on the Mississauga PDC Agenda, where Council utterly rejected a chance to *save you money*, *give you more choice*, *accelerate housing construction* and *cut red tape* by keeping regressive parking minimums along @HMcCallionLine. Demand better.

Bike lanes case by case, housing case by case, drinking in parks case by case, sledding in parks case by case, and we wonder why nothing gets done in this city
Anyone else think it is bonkers to approve bike lanes on a case-by-case basis? Setting everything else aside, this can't possibly be the best use of Council's time, can it??
Subtext: climate change is NOT your fault, residents - no matter how much the City shifts blame on the individual while the biggest companies get off the hook with voluntary targets, little to no penalties and low taxes. Greenwashing is real and accountability is lacking.

PC caucus falling apart over Kuffiyeh-gate. Ford @fordnation made a statement, backbenchers are fighting back. Who’s really in charge of this province? The Premier or the backbenchers? We need an inquiry. Who knew what when.
Another member of Premier Ford’s caucus agrees that the keffiyeh ban should be upheld, in contradiction with the premier.
Bad planning by past governments = large structural deficits today. Governments could have predicted the dramatic increase in public spending that would accompany the retirement of boomers. They did little to prepare for it. Now look at the dinosaur in the room!
It would be dishonest to imply there are realistic options to eliminate structural deficits without putting younger generations in even more jeopardy if we don’t require some additional taxation from mostly older affluent Canadians. gensqueeze.ca/home_ownership…

Let’s extend this logic to other groups and events and see what rules or application of rules follow. For instance, no poppies in the legislature, right? That’s political!
if you started wearing a Keffiyeh after October 7, there's a reason you're wearing it- and it's not a cultural one.
I’m grateful for @MaritStiles’ principled stance here. The designation of the kuffiyeh as a political symbol only is deeply misguided. The systemic erasure of Arab and Palestinian identity in our political system needs to stop. Glad to see Marit standing up for MPP, staff and…
NEW: Speaker Ted Arnott has prohibited Palestinian kaffiyehs from being worn by anyone -- MPPs or guests -- in the Ontario legislature over concerns the scarves make "an overt political statement." The NDP has asked him to reconsider. #onpoli thestar.com/politics/provi…
