Doug Ford doesn’t know about or care about what works or doesn’t work in city-building. He’s fine with hurting the city (and by extension the provincial economy), killing people, wasting public money, and making congestion worse. It’s about ego, ideology & red meat wedge issues for suburban voters.

Just once, I'd like him to follow the research instead of this culture war BS. The city's traffic problem is a result of too many cars. A smart government would support mode choice and encourage modes that produce a healthier population.

Bike-lanes don’t cause traffic congestion. Car dependency, land-use sprawl, too many cars driving too much taking up too much space, highly subsidized driving costs, and not enough choices in how to get around, ALL cause traffic congestion. Think about it. THAT’S common sense.
Highway filled with car congestionWide, busy road at night filled with cars.

I wrote about how Danielle Smith took a good, hard look at the existential damage that could be done to Alberta and to Canada by a separatism campaign and she decided that one thing mattered above all: Danielle Smith. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/opi...

Opinion: Danielle Smith tries to blame 700,000 illusory Albertans for her separatism gambit
With her have-it-both-ways referendum question, the Premier has made the math clear: Her political skin is more important than Alberta or Canada

Hey Doug, how about we govern using data instead of vibes? The research told us this would happen. Speed cameras help slow people down until you can redesign the road.

Good news. But remember Ontario had a cap on markups until Doug Ford cancelled it in 2018. You've been gauged for 8 years 'cause Doug is Doug.

A dark day for democracy in Ontario. Buried inside the budget bill that passed today? Sweeping changes to the FOI system that shield the Premier’s phone records, his office, and Ministers’ offices from the public, even wiping out requests retroactively. You should be furious. I am. #onpoli

How fortunate for Ford that his JET mea culpa is dominating the news cycle. Why? Because his self serving FOI changes, included in the omnibus budget bill, may be tabled TODAY & PASSED INTO LAW TOMORROW (Tues). It's a Trump-like move (both changing the news cycle & being unaccountable)
Clip from today's Trillium newsletter that says "the gov's omnibus budget bill that also amends FOI laws...could be debated as early as Mon, and passed as early as Tues.Picture of the interior of a Challenger 650 - the type of plane that Doug Ford bought with ON taxpayer money.

New from me: When Doug Ford refuses to disclose records, loses in court, and then moves to change the law to avoid disclosure, it raises a simple question. What is Ford trying so hard to hide? www.canadianlawyermag.com/news/opinion...

Hey Ford: When you use your phone for government business, it is no longer personal
The premier isn’t protecting his privacy; he’s avoiding accountability

Fiscally responsible, my ass. * alcohol in corner stores ($1.4B) * Mega spa subsidy ($2.2B) * tax "rebate" aka pre-election bribe ($3B) * early election ($150-175 Million) $6.8 Billion would buy a lot of healthcare, education or debt reduction, Doug. #needachange www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.
