Mind you, I'd give Ford fleeing pretty low odds.

#DougFord single handedly introduced Total Shamelessness to the political world when he forced his brother to not resign in the face of a video showing him smoking crack cocaine.

He'll likely keep going until and unless he is arrested, hopefully sooner than later!

#Ontario, Take Note!

There is precedent for ousting #Corrupt provincial leaders like #DougFord!

I can't rule out the intentions are good, but I do not assume they are good.

Ontario's move to give transportation minister power to set fares has advocates concerned | CBC News

The Ontario government is looking to give itself the power to set transit fares across the province, a move some in Toronto are celebrating as a step towards a more integrated transit system in the GTA — while others are apprehensive about what the move could mean for the TTC.

CBC

Irritated by the Ford government's appointment of regional chairs, but it seems like the chairs haven't always been the most democratic position.

In the days of the Regional Municipality of Hamilton–Wentworth, I remember elections for the chair, but apparently this wasn't the norm.

A very strong argument from @moretransitso that any westward extension of Line 4 should cross Downsview before development to save money and to create more transit ridership and enable future GO connections too:

The Sheppard Subway Must Serve the Downsview Airport Development

Metrolinx is planning on extending the Sheppard Subway, and there is a huge opportunity to extend the line to Toronto's largest development, while the site is empty and before construction starts.

Hoping for a stronger NDP, both in Ontario and federally.

Voted on the Scarborough Southwest by-elections today. Dolly Begun crossed the floor to the Liberals so I went with #NDP Fatima Shaban. Hopefully more people will follow suit.

One thing that makes me go ballistic about Ontario is how complacent its residents are. Whether it's the 55% of voters who didn't vote in 2022 or 2025; or them not willing to protest on as large a scale (and as persistent) as the Québécois would do. #ONpoli #cdnpoli

Ontario Premier Doug Ford, afraid of honesty, is changing the Freedom of Information Act to block requests of his Ministers and their staff, and so that even existing requests already in process can be dropped.

Sme of the things which would never have been uncovered under this new law:
🚩2025 Ford govt changing laws to remove just 900 metres of bike lanes
🚩2024 Ford govt trying to sell Greenbelt land using a Gmail account
🚩2022 Ford govt cancelled COVID update interview with Minister of Health because it was the Star asking
🚩2002 Harris govt lied about Indigenous burial ground at Ipperwash

Every government in Canada is too secretive. This new law is a several steps backward.

How long does it take to search your email for a single keyword? A few seconds. It’s taken Ontario sixteen months so far.

And Doug Ford’s new law killing off Freedom of Information means they won’t ever have to answer the request.
