Ford's election promise for $60 billion tunnel 🤪

Building more highways leads to induced demand - new road space just fills up again. Tunnel under 401 takes 20 yrs to build. Sould exacerbate environmental problems due to increased pollution & urban sprawl

Eastern GTAer here - I don’t want a tunnel. I want decent public transit to take me to the GO station, then an express train downtown. Would cost almost nothing. #onpoli
We don’t need this tunnel at all. It’s another Ford grift

Ford didn’t have a “mandate” to announce his US booze ban, so why is he saying the election is to give him one? His translucent excuse offers us a way to look back on his six years of doing dubious things without a “mandate”.
My @thestar.com column.
Shawn Micallef: Doug Ford hasn’t needed a mandate to make major changes in Toronto. So why does he need one for Donald Trump?
By framing his election call in terms of needing a mandate, Premier Doug Ford invites us to look back on all that he’s done to the city without such a mandate.

I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but I feel like this is exactly the wrong time to give to the keys to our country to a guy who’s spent the last two-plus years telling us all how bad our country is.

"Contrary to the notion that it’s the public resisting the transition to clean energy, McKenna lays out clearly — from the vantage point of a person with a seat at the table — that the real resistance is coming from the fossil fuel industry."

If you watch something today please take time to watch my thoughts on the crisis facing Canadian democracy.
We are in deeply uncertain times and parliament is failing to step up beyond dumbed down partisanship.
Democracy is not meeting the crisis of the time.

Did you know BlueSky only has 20 employees?

We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to those 20 warriors (who are working 24/7 to keep up with the incredible growth) for giving us a space to share.

We escaped hell to be here.

Thank you, @bsky.app & Jay Graber CEO (not a billionaire)

Quite suddenly, however, Bluesky has, at least in my world, reached that point. There are now enough of the people I want a conversation with on here that I don't need to check Twitter to know what's going on, no longer need to post over there to be sure people see something 5/

www.cbc.ca/news/politic... PP puts party over country. And I think that includes putting their loyalty for Trump, Republican Party and the IDU over their own country. Isn’t this like the New World Order that the conservative conspiracists were complaining about. #cdnpoli

Centrism won't save us.
The (far) right *certainly* won't save us.

We need progressive economic policies that make everyday people's lives easier, huge investments in public transit and housing, healthcare, and yes, we need to tax the rich far more. Billionaires shouldn't exist.
