@GraphicMatt wondering: what keeps holyday going, on these crusades to protect privileged folks - fights that he never wins? I'd be discouraged, but maybe he enjoys being fueled by outrage. #exhausting
Reading about Toronto's new renoviction bylaw (in effect July 31) and, as a renter at a rent-controlled, below-market rate, I am encouraged.

“To continue to support the current operation of Uber, it’s to put people into poverty,”
- Uber driver Gofman
"A staff report concluded that when accounting for all the time ride-hailing drivers spend on the apps — not just “engaged time” driving for a fare — their median income … was just $5.97 an hour after costs such as fuel, insurance and repairs."
Mayor Olivia Chow changes course on limiting Uber drivers:

An energetic young immigrant created a cheerful mobile coffee business … but plans to give it up because of poorly formulated city bylaws 😢 (petition link in article)

Who needs an elected mayor and city council, when the Premier gets to dictate city spending?

Why the hell is Ford meddling in municipal urban planning matters? Because he's obsessed with the "rights" of cars, that's why.
Meanwhile, Ontarians are dying from lack of medical care and shelter.
Doug Ford is such a 🤬🤬🤬
Sorry/not sorry, I'm beyond civilised speech, at this point. 😤

Attached: 3 images I came to the pro-biking rally at Queen’s Park this evening. It was good — great speakers, tight messaging, and then to drive the point home, all 800 or so of us rode in a loop past three Ghost Bikes marking where bikers were killed before safer infrastructure was built — infrastructure that Ford wants to rip out now. 1/ #TOPoli #ONPoli #Toronto #biking
