Brad Bradford is the absolute worst. He’s all politics, all the time. Community doesn’t matter, what matters to him is being seen as some sort of official opposition….while accusing others of ideological decisions. Sigh.

From Cycle Toronto this morning. City council backed Mayor Chow in opposing Bill 212, which would rip out bike lanes along Yonge, Bloor & University. Only 4 knuckleheads dissented. One of them being none other than Brad Bradford (Beaches-East York), who claims to be a cyclist 🤨

Layoffs are a very aggressive move by Canada Post that seem designed to scare union members into abandoning their strike. The tactic may well backfire by generating more anger and resentment directed at management.

You can’t rebalance something that is broken beyond repair. Ontario post-secondary funding is not only at the bottom of the list in Canada, but it’s well below any other province.
There is no fixing any of this without needed public funding.

Women effectively working for free the rest of the year due to the gender pay gap? Absolutely unacceptable. For women in Alberta, this reality started back on August 7, thanks to a 40% pay gap.
It’s time to end the undervaluation of women’s work. #GenderPayGap #EqualPay #PayEquity

Purely by coincidence, my mother gave me the name Lantian, which translates to "blue sky."
