Hey #Toronto Mastodon folks. Did you enjoy kicking #DougFord 's ass on June 26th? Want to kick it again? Here's the next best shot in the provincial by-election in #Scarborough Guildwood. You can elect Thadsha Navaneethan to the #Ontario legislature on July 27th. She's going to need all the volunteers she can get.
CodeRedTO is participating in a stakeholder session today for the Eglinton Crosstown's eastern extension. Public meetings will be held May 30, June 1, & June 7.
Studied extensively in 2009, with completed Environmental Assessment, the project was formerly called the Scarborough-Malvern LRT in the Transit City plan. The project has never had sufficient funding committed, and no full construction timeline exists.
Hey #Toronto! There's a city council by-election taking place on November 30th in the #Scarborough Southwest Ward 20. Kevin Rupasinghe is the candidate of the left.
If you can find some time to volunteer to canvass, do lit drops, phone bank, help in the office, or GOTV on November 30th that would be great!
We have a chance to help shift the balance of power at Toronto City Hall. It's a rare opportunity!
As the dust settles after two by-election defeats, Premier Doug Ford’s #Conservatives are scrambling to assess the damage.
Stung by setbacks last Thursday in #Scarborough-Guildwood and #Kanata-Carleton, Ford’s governing party wants to learn from its blunders before calling a byelection in #Kitchener Centre.
Another from last week in Scarborough. This is a flower bed in South Cliff Gardens, windy pathways that take you from the esplanade to the beach. I’m so impressed by the thoughtful planting here. Not only did it look beautiful, it was covered in bees and pollinators. Well done to those in charge of it! #scarborough#pollinators#flowers#wildlife#nature#NaturePhotography#yorkshire
The suggestion that the SRT (TTC Line 3) is being shut down due to underhandedness by the Ford government, perhaps to profit from real estate, is sadly believable. After all, look at what's happening with the Green Belt.
The system the SRT runs on is very similar to Vancouver's SkyTrain. Yet SkyTrain is going strong while the SRT has been left to crumble.
"Deliberately grounded on a tiny reef in the #SouthChinaSea, part of an island chain claimed by the two Asian countries, the #BRPSierraMadre is now the unlikely base for a detachment of Filipino marines who stand guard over the atoll, scanning the turquoise waters for Chinese ships." #AyunginShoal#SecondThomasShoal#Philippines
The Philippine government said on Monday, February 19, that it would “validate and investigate” reports from Filipino #fisherfolk of their foreign counterparts using #cyanide to fish in #BajoDeMasinloc, a shoal that’s supposed to be a shared fishing ground for several nationalities. #Philippines#WestPHSea#SouthChinaSea
Director of SeaLight, #RayPowell, said that at least four #ChinaCoastGuard vessels (CCG) and 26 “large” Chinese maritime militias are expected to blockade the #AtinIto convoy.
The second civilian supply mission of the Atin Ito coalition will begin on Wednesday morning at #Masinloc town in #Zambales, led by an indigenous vessel serving as the mother boat. #Philippines#WestPHSea
Looking for a particular dog shot, found a lot of dog jpgs, so am going to post a few. This was taken at a stop along the Cabot Trail, in Nova Scotia. They had made it all the way from New Jersy, so I guess they’re ok, thought that fellow looking at me looks to have seen a thing or two. The human would be a wind break and I guess they could duck down if necessary.
Scarborough is to the east of Toronto. It used to be the boonies, far out of the city, now it is part of the city. And now what used to be affordable housing with lots of space & character has been gobbled up and as houses sell, developers and rich people are making it more and more unaffordable, as now it’s not the boonies, but the ‘burbs. This is an older place along the bluffs (sand cliffs that border Lake Ontario), which I came across accidentally.
