#Scarborough Southwest city council candidate Kevin Rupasinghe has put together a petition for a dedicated Scarborough busway to be funded immediately given that the SRT is being shutdown and it will be ten years until there is a replacement. Scarborough has been grossly under serviced with transit for years.
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.
Doug Ford thinks he lost two by-elections because of lousy radio ads...
No Premier.
"Its the shameless corruption, the privatization of healthcare & ER closures, the underfunding of Ontario social assistance & Ontario Disability Supports, ignoring kids with autism & their families, the #OntarioPlace blunder, broken #Greenbelt promise, undermining municipal democracy, and intentionally underfunding education"
The start of this article says “Beginning Fall, 2023…” should be changed to “ Beginning right now…
How come we aren’t starting on the dedicated busway option today? $3 million for 30,000 riders seems like small change for the half a billion we are paying for the same number of drivers to rebuild the Gardiner. #Toronto#TTC#ScarboroughRT#TorontoTransit#Scarborough
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.
The Doug Ford PC candidate in your by-election is Cllr Gary Crawford. As Mayor John Tory’s budget chief for two terms, he is directly responsible for #Toronto’s dire fiscal situation.
Cllr Crawford's "good friends" John Tory, MPP Kinga Surma, (private spa, #OntarioPlace), MPP Raymond Cho & the Premier are frantically working to flip this Liberal seat #Conservative.
Vote on July 27. Say NO to Doug Ford.
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.
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
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.
