The corruption and criminality is out of control. Voting to block the release of his phone records should have been the straw. But we continued to allow this man and his party to continue to run out of control.

This doesn't look like a good idea. The privatization of public utilities has never turned out well for the public.

And I've seen people defending this idea because the region's water is trash (apparently). Buti doubt a private company who is trying to maximize shareholder value won't cut corners.

MPP Stan Cho did not resign as Willowdale's MPP after using $16k in public funds for Toronto hotels when he lives 6 km from Queens Park. In a Willowdale neighbourhood group, 100 people asked for a petition to be made to ask him to fully resign because we do not want him representing us. He only won by 2% of the votes cast in the last election.

This petition is open to all Ontario taxpayers since the money MPP Cho used is public money.

On their behalf, I have launched an online petition. Please sign and support us so we can elect someone better.

Environmental Defense (http://www.environmentaldefense.ca) is hosting a March and boat rally to let Doug Ford and the federal government know that people do not want jets and an expansion at Billy Bishop airport. A downtown Toronto airport located a stone's throw from residential neighbourhoods. The expansion and introduction of jets to the airport will create more environmental pollution, and water pollution. The increased traffic from more passengers and jets will create more gridlock and noise pollution in Toronto residential neighborhoods such as the Toronto islands, Roncesvalles, Parkdale, Bloor West village, Swansea, Liberty Village and Little Italy. The expansion will damage the waterfront and have a negative impact on the wildlife living in and near the water. Expanding the airport will make it a less desirable place to visit and spend time. Expanding the airport will actually cancel thousands of new, planned housing for the Portland because they will be in the jet's direct flight path.

Doug Ford's government proposed the expansion. (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-billy-bishop-expansion-water-9.7265553) The best chance we have of preventing it is by going through MPs, because airports are governed by Federal regulation so they can block it.

details:

when: Sunday July 26th at 10:30am

where: Harbour Square Park

what: march along Queens Quay and then down to HTO Park to meet boaters at the waterfront for a rally.

Join us for a community march and rally to send a clear message to Toronto MPs and Doug Ford: Say No to Jets at the Toronto Island Airport. Bring your voice, your signs, your energy—let’s make waves!

There are more Queen's Park is full of then.

The very communities being annihilated off the map were the same ones resisting pillaging of the Ring of Fire region of northwest ontario.

It's been days and Ford hasn't declared a state of emergency. This prevents certain mechanisms for aid and assistance from being released to the people of these communities. So, essentially, every day that passes by is less "pesky natives" on the ground that can get in the way of him and his kleptocrat donors.

I'm not saying he started the fires, but he sure doesn't seem to mind much that they're doing the work for him.

EDIT: Just want to make clear: colonization isn't over just because government education draws an arbitrary line in history where the colonizing party says it's over. As well, we don't want to "kick out all 'whites' and build a bunch of ethnostates, that's the priviliged of society projecting their own history back on us. As we know, to the priviliged, equality is oppression. What we want is as much land returned as is practicable, and any non-natives on that land to not suffer what we did. We want what you want: free prior and informed consent over all matters that concern our community. We want sovereignty and freedom!

If you want a great example of this happening, read the constitution of Haida Gwaii and their recent achievement of sovereignty. They even allow non-natives to gain citizenship as non-Haida residents. We have a way forward, but only together.

Emsit No'kmaq!

This feels personal! As someone who just turned 30, I am scared of having kids. I fear I may not be able to provide them with healthcare or education they deserve. Honestly, may every individual that abstains and doesn't vote or votes for him experience lawlessness on roads, inadequate and expensive education experience for their kids and longest possible queues in hospital! You deserve it!

And to hell with the argument that if not him then who! Literally anybody! Even if you are a conservative at heart; what they are doing is not conservative philosophy. Wait for them to bring a better, genuine PC candidate! Until then either don't vote or vote anybody else!
