If u care about better cities for people in Ontario Canada, please pay attention to what Premier Ford is doing. Not only would his new bill block cities from building bike-lanes if they touch car lanes, he’s talking about imposing his own street standards & standardized official plans in EVERY city.

The new novel "What Friends Are For" sheds light on the history of abortion in Canada. Harriet Zaidman's book is a “nuanced, important, and unfortunately timely novel set in 1983 at the height of Canada’s abortion debate, following a young girl grappling with an unplanned pregnancy.”

Bill 60 will make our roads more dangerous for everyone.
Thank you to Bike Ottawa for inviting me to speak at your rally this morning — keep the pressure on the provincial government and tell them to stop interfering in the work cities are doing to make life better and safer for people.

Landlords want permission to evict people without cause (who have faithfully paid their rent) so they can jack up the rent and make more money.
The Ford government is planning to give it to them.
This is going to evict so many people into homelessness, especially seniors. Truly sociopathic.

“We’ve heard from stakeholders that these evergreen leases that just go on with no end in sight may not be appropriate.”
I have some retired family members who can only afford rent right now because they're on old leases. But to hell with them! Think of the stakeholders! 🤮
