SOLIDARITY with these Indigenous nations and SHAME on @fordnation These folks traveled THOUSANDS of kms only to be denied a meeting. Is this what Conservative "leadership" looks like in action?

Neskantaga chief-elect Chris Moonias and current chief Wayne Moonias disrupted Question Period after Indigenous Affairs Minister was asked about their opposition to the Ring OF Fire #onpoli

Toronto has multiple - 16! - revenue tools at it’s disposal to fund transit operations as per the City of Toronto Act that it does not currently use. Majority of them do not require any permission from the Province. They are not being used due to the inaction of Council.

The province refuses to give TO any more revenue tools... how are "strong mayor powers" going to be of any use without the money to solve these issues?!? The bottom line is that Ford hates The6ix and has done everything in his power to hamstring us.

Cowards - show them the picture we with the Ugly Therme building & how many trees will be destroyed for a day spa....

While it's to be hoped that Toronto rejects the ridiculous application especially the ill-conceived @ThermeCanada spa with its $500 million parking garage subsidy from the province, it's also likely that @fordnation will ignore any dissenting opinions by the city. Sad.

More details from the CityPlanTO Facebook page. Worth noting that 87,000 sq. metres is larger than 12 football fields. This mega spa is cruiser-ship scale and energy. #ontarioplace

Why does this tweet leave out the primary aspect of what the application includes?

"'A monstrous mistake': Remembering the ugliest thing San Francisco ever built." Why does Toronto Council want to tear down a similar structure AND re-build it? Gardiner E Blvd saves a BILLION, opens park space, 8,000 homes, connects city /Lake. Why not an independent evaluation?

What @fordnation has planned for Indigenous territories in northern Ontario #RingofFire goes well beyond gutting the #Greenbelt. It must be as strongly opposed as well. Ontario residents must stand in solidarity & support First Nations on the front lines fighting for the land.

Today is the last day to test people with no symptoms for covid entering #LTC Today my friend with no symptoms tested positive. They could have passed it to their parent who could then pass it to other residents and staff. WTF are you doing @fordnation @PaulCalandra ?

Under such duress, she still has more empathy, integrity and knowledge than the supposed leaders who think they have the solutions. We owe it to her to listen. #TOPoli

Her teenage son was killed by a stranger at a subway station and she’s speaking out in hopes that something will change to end the violence.

This is *precisely* what we have been warning the Ford Conservatives about as they continue their ideological push for a two-tier private health care system. We are preparing a number of amendments to the Your Health Act to protect patients and keep care public. #onpoli

She was upsold thousands of dollars in extra services at a private for-profit clinic, and when she started to ask questions, the doctor asked her to leave.

I cried seeing this photo of Gabriel Magalhaes’ mother, Andrea. She said she “never wanted to get up again” but felt she had to speak out on the systemic injustices around homelessness and mental health. There is no more courageous hero tonight. People/families deserve better.

And to think #Ontario tax payers will have to fork over 500mil tax $ for a parking lot on park land for a private spa! #ONpoli #OntarioPlace4all #Conservatives #corruption

The lame pitch from an Austrian mega spa is that for $600M tax dollars it will “facilitate access to & around the waterfront" huh? #OntarioPlace is already free & accessible! Ontario can upgrade the park & beach for much less $ & not raze a whole park for an ugly 13 story mall

"I would never have spoken out if I hadn't heard Premier Ford say these private clinics wouldn't charge you extra." @Fordnation, do you have an answer for Lois about why she had to pay for Ontario health care with her credit card? #Bill60 #ONpoli twitter.com/CBCTheNational…
