Ford promised he’d never touch the Greenbelt. Conservative promise made. Conservative promise broken. He’s carving it up and it won’t build a single unit of the affordable housing people need. Add your name to stop Ford’s Greenbelt Grab: ontariondp.ca/stop-the-green… #onpoli

Ever so accurate. "Every winter, fresh snow reveals how much we’ve over-designed our streets & roads for cars, making them faster & more dangerous, & how much space we could reclaim for people & public life" via @fietsprofessor

Starting Sept 2022, the City and TTC will begin upgrades on College St, including the installation of elevated and at grade cycle tracks from Manning Ave to Bay St. Learn more at tonight's virtual public meeting from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Register at toronto.ca/collegeupgrades.


Love riding this street. More of this please!

This is Shaw St in Toronto, absolutely beautiful. Hats off to all that helped transform this street.

There's nothing “pro-life” about forcing people to give birth against their will.

As a Canadian: I won’t for one second think that what’s happening in the United States with #RoeVsWade can’t happen here…We must be vigilant. Take nothing for granted. Act like our basic human rights depend on it…Because they do.

There are more bicycles on the left than cars on the right... Not empty, just extraordinarily efficient. https://t.co/c8AiNOsorR

Cycling can be social. So make sure to build bike facilities wide enough for folks to ride side by side. #SocialCycling #Utrecht

New city cycling rankings. Toronto? 95! In North America!!! Shameful! Elected officials have NOT supported safe cycling, ever. Small improvement in pandemic. Staff is great, but council does NOT fund. #ElectionsMatter, this Oct. elect Mayor & Council to do citywide SAFE network.

Just to be clear, if we can afford to spend $290,000,000 to host five 2026 World Cup soccer games in Toronto, we can also afford to provide safe, affordable housing for people experiencing homelessness in Toronto...It's really a question of our priorities!


Nicole Bennett Reposted

toronto may spend at least $90 million just to host a world cup in 2026 it cost $4 million to get 8.5 km of bus lanes in 2020 for $90 million, we could have ~190 km of bus lanes across our city. that would complete much, if not all of the 20 corridors part of rapidTO

The pandemic is holding a mirror up to everything that is wrong with our society. Choosing to look away makes you complicit, not innocent.

An 11 year old boy was hit by a driver with a car, while riding his bicycle on a cross-walk. Life threatened injuries. #ZeroVision actions. Cities must lower speeds, improve lights in intersections, have island in middle, allow enough time for all ages & abilities.

BREAKING June 17: Ontario Hospitals have the fewest staff and beds in the developed world!! Don't be OK with this

Ontario’s hospitals have the fewest staff & beds in the developed world swamped by a growing, aging population. HCWs, exhausted, fall ill & many leave. Resources to increase staffing & beds, reduce workloads & increase salaries to encourage retention are urgently needed.

HUGE scoop by @EmmaMci: “The 413 is more destructive than we thought" An internal report shows the Ford government’s proposed Highway 413 would cut through not just one conservation reserve as previously advertised but 3 ‼️ conservation areas. thenarwhal.ca/ontario-highwa… #onpoli

Bicycles brought unprecedented freedom to many women, creating a change in restrictive clothing, independence of movement and were an iconic symbol of early feminism. #WomensArt
