City Hall Watcher Special: The end is near. The end is here. (Plus a special offer.)

City Hall Watcher

Fascinating adecdote from Jenn Keesmaat on working with #MarkSaunders: How open the former police chief appeared to be towards city’s new “open streets” plan, and how his anti-bike lane position now contradicts the message he said he was giving to his own police force.

An insider’s look at the race for mayor from Jennifer Keesmaat

The former candidate talks about the financial challenges of running for mayor and offers her personal experiences with the current front-runners.

@GraphicMatt oooh! I just thought of a good one: which candidate has the craziest fantasy transit map? There’s a 101 running, so I am sure someone has a monorail to the islands or a pneumatic tube to the zoo or something.

I assume the dog candidate would advocate for all surface transit, but with the windows removed?

@GraphicMatt is any candidate proposing a #LandValueTax (tax value of land without regard to what’s currently built there) to encourage development?

Does anyone have any recommendations for #toronto #podcasts ? Particularly politics and upcoming election-related, but could be anything Toronto related.

While I was disappointed to miss walking the line with CUPE 233 today, because I was out to Scarborough to stand in solidarity with the Public Service Alliance of Canada, I look forward to joining them again tomorrow!

Solidarity is not merely a photo opp or a buzzword to throw around, but what we do.

“Day three of the CUPE 233 #strike had great energy, which was bolstered by a visit from Toronto mayoral candidate @oliviachow! We're also grateful to @Gruesomebrat, who has been walking the lines with our members. Fantastic to see municipal candidates engaged with workers.”
