Building more $1M+ houses does not bring down the price of homes. Instead, more infrastructure have to get built. Then, that increases value of homes. You need rent regulations, eliminate ghost hotels (AirBnB, Vrbo, etc.), rent-geared-to-income, coops, social housing, etc. #ONpoli

Doug Ford has a 31% approval rating, the lowest in Canada. Thirty one is still pretty high, to be honest. What will it take to get this deeply corrupt character out of office and out of our lives, Ontario? #OnPoli #DougFordIsCorrupt
An egg-shaped plastic toy from the 70s called a Weeble. It has blond hair, vacant eyes, and a derpy grin. It’s holding a lollipop instead of a Tim Horton’s egg sammich but in every other way resembles Canada’s least popular premier, Doug Ford.

Put another way, Ford wants to spend more on removing bike lanes in Toronto ($48M) than he's spent protecting all of Ontario's businesses from an international trade war. Ontario deserves serious leadership, that follows through on promises, and actually puts people before profits.

It's time to end Ontario's era of "Tall and Sprawl". Our archaic building code rules have resulted in housing that is uglier, more expensive, and with fewer units that make sense for families. By changing the rules, we can build communities more beautifully and affordably.

Toronto family physician Samantha Green, who is also the co-founder of the provincial advocacy coalition Doctors for Safe Cycling, told CBC Toronto it’s clear the decision to remove bike lanes is "not based on evidence."\

"Bike lanes save lives," she said. "It's clear that the public, that the community here in Toronto wants to keep the bike lanes."
About 650 health-care workers have signed a letter calling on the province to back down on its plans, Doctors for Safe Cycling said in a news release Monday.
