Ford government uses new powers to sidestep Toronto’s say in Ontario Place plans

As a result of the zoning order, Toronto city council will no longer be able to weigh in on technical elements of the project as it does on other buildings that go through the local planning process.

@gemelliz
@zazzoo We were just talking about Ford wasting money??Priorities all wrong!!

@Snowshadow @gemelliz @zazzoo
Also important context, the government won't use any of its powers to help victims of harassment in schools or help people being neglected in long-term care. They're showing us their priorities and it isn't helping vulnerable people or making a better future.

I stand with the public sector workers being forced back to office. There does not seem to be a reason for this. Office mandates are generally dumb.

Does anyone know if witnesses before the legislative assembly of Ontario get the same protections as witnesses before Parliament?

    If you don't understand how the alt-right pipeline works then you won't understand how we stop Pierre Poilievre. What alt-pipeline offers is hope, and community. Criticizing PP does not get people either of those things. Convincing people that PP is bad won't make them want to vote for the other failing parties.
    Unless we run candidates who can offer hope, without the bigotry, PP wins. Join me in forming a new party.

    We need is a party that does politics differently. We need to be bold and unafraid. We need real solutions. I think we should push for the following things:

    1. Break up of the oligopolies including #loblaws.
    2. Repeal of the Notwithstanding clause.
    3. Tax reforms so housing is not an investment.
    4. Real privacy laws.
      If you have ideas please share them.
      We also need to distance ourselves from toxic "leftists". We can save democracy only if we work together. All are welcome.

    @johnefrancis
    People who make fun of people for dropping out, people who are lying and saying Doug Ford is letting people drop out, people who refuse to condemn OSSTF for supporting ageist policies, people who are bigots (primarily ageism is what I see). Those are the toxic people we must avoid. These people only push people towards PP.

    @johnefrancis
    I've seen "leftists" push for all of those things.
    As for my criticism of OSSTF are based on their opposition to children having control over their own education based on their support of "Learning to Age 18", which despite the name has done irreparable harm to trust in the public school system. That policy took away 16 and 17 year olds ability to control their own education. They also never called out that policy for trying to throw more students in jail.

    I am going to be super busy all day, but this response from the Office of the Information Commissioner of Canada just came into my inbox. I argued Public Safety Canada (emergency communications) services were violating privacy laws using corporate social media. They say they don't have jurisdiction to make the call. Would be interested in your guys thoughts on a response before I have time to think on mine.

    Can anyone help me? I want to make a freedom of information request into the decision of the government to take-down the #CFMA page. I've never done this before.
    I found a form online: https://www.sus.gov.on.ca/lc/content/mgcs/profiles/default.html?contentRoot=repository:///Applications/ON00089/1.0/Assets&template=ON00089E.xdp&submitUrl=https://localhost:12443/rest/services/ON00089/Processes/SubmitForm&lang=E&submitServiceProxy=https://www.sus.gov.on.ca/sub-proxy/all. Anything I should know before making the request?

    "Well, Bonnie Crombie is gonna force four-storey buildings in every neighbourhood, so there"

    The premier of Ontario sounds like a peevish teenager.

    WOW - And councillor Josh Matlow has had enough...😳
    "Today, unfairly attacked Bonnie Crombie & said he “works collaboratively” with cities. Not only has his corrupt government failed to competently address the housing crisis, he’s repeatedly bullied mayors & councils."

    Fiscal Conservatism is saying no handouts for poor people but for big corporations like Embridge there's corporate welfare and for rich people there's welfare based on car ownership because only the most deserving people have wealth.

    The Ministry of Health has taken down their CFMA page: http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/programs/ohip/cfma.aspx. The page contained information to help Ontarians recover funds when they were unlawfully charged for insured services. The page now redirects to Elaws.

    This is another step towards 2-tiered health care.

    To get help with CFMA violations call 1-888-662-6613 or email protectpublichealthcare@ontario.ca.

    All that stuff Lecce said about accountability in education was just talk. I've called the ministry and they are unwilling to do anything about school and school board misconduct.

    @rylancole It is not better, allows for way more exceptions than , provides no new protections, and will have slower enforcement. It provides 2 insignificant improvement which is substantially harmed by the fact the corporations business interests are now more important than our consent.
