Protest ride Monday evening. Meet at the heart outside the main entrance of Quebec st mall at 5:40 and we'll roll out at 6:00. Please join us to support us even if you're not riding with us. If you or anyone you love bikes in this city - we need you to write in to council.

Bill 33 is an attack on public education. We know what would help students: smaller class sizes, more supports and better funding. Instead the Ford government is attacking teachers and trustees. We'll keep fighting back.

A group of Toronto tenants raised the alarm over a landlord with a long history of bad faith "renovictions" in apartment complexes across Ontario Now, a provisional order from the LTB means he'll have to appear in court if he wants to defend himself.

This week is another tough one as the Ontario Government wages war on the working class as the government moves to pass: Bill 25—which will give the MCCSS Minister the power to make political directives for social service agencies.

My good friend Jess reading out names of innocent ppl who have a lost their lives to road violence. Candles represent lives lost. It’s so wrong when our elected reps place the convenience of drivers over prioritizing the safety of vulnerable road users. via @ffsafestreets.bsky.social #WDoR2025

🦆In the 1970s, Guelph leaders and the GRCA bought the former Frank Kortright Waterfowl Park lands to protect them forever as parkland. In June 2024, the GRCA approved a plan to sell 20 acres, betraying that original vision and the public investment behind it.

@guelph.ca should do the same. For a city that loves to call itself progressive, there needs to be more solidarity towards victims of genocide +their families. Market square was blue and white in support of Israel and @camguthrie.bsky.social posed with an Israeli flag on social media. #freepalestine

Doug Ford’s new housing bill has been sold as efficiency reform, yet it prioritizes landlords over tenants. Long-term renters will face faster evictions, fewer protections, and higher rents while corporate landlords consolidate even more control of an already deeply financialized market.

“Doug Ford is making people homeless and making the rest of us deal with the consequences. Bill 60 should be called the ‘Create Encampments Faster’ Act,” said Encampment Justice Coalition organizer Diana Chan McNally. www.torontotoday.ca/local/politi...

Thank you to all supporters of the #vacanthomestax and #Renoviction bylaws. Both passed unanimously by committee of the whole and are set to be implemented in 2026. We are pleased that the VHT was approved at 4%, as we had advocated for. Way to go #guelph! #cityhall #guelphontario #guelphcityhall

After a furious outcry, the Ontario government reversed course on the most controversial part of Bill 60. But the policy makes six other changes to landlord-tenant law that overwhelmingly benefit landlords, @emmapaling.bsky.social reports. www.thegrindmag.ca/despite-reve...

Opinion: Ontario Government Set to Ban Bike Lanes Proving Stupid is as Stupid Does. momentummag.com/opinion-onta...

It's obvious that Ford and Sakaria are using bike lanes to divide Ontarians & distract from some pretty monumental f-ups in Ontario. Instead of uniting us & using his mandate to build a better province, he's playing politics with peoples lives (of course not just people on bikes).

Doug Ford's conservative government is proposing the the biggest attack on Ontario renters and rental affordability in a generation. Not only would landlords be able to evict tenants without cause, but rent control in units built before 2018 would effectively be over. (See last row in the image.)

There's a lot to be said about Ford's proposal to allow no fault evictions, effectively ending rent control, but I just keep thinking about how I know *lawyers* who can only afford to live in Toronto because of the current RTA law. I don't know what kind of city we would become.

New proposed provincial legislation would strip away key tenant protections, fast-track evictions, and open the door to ending rent control as we know it in Ontario. Tell Queen's Park: Don't end rent control acorncanada.org/take_action/...

Doug Ford is trying to pass a bill which would allow landlords to arbitrarily end lease agreements due to “personal needs, business strategies, or market conditions.” How about the “personal needs” of tenants to remain housed in an already hellish rental market? This is terrifying. #ONpoli #housing

Ontario cities are clearing homeless encampments. Where are people supposed to go? Amidst a housing crisis with no end in sight, municipalities across the province have been cracking down on the unhoused: pressprogress.ca/ontario-citi...

Saddened but not surprised to hear that Bill 28 was voted down by the PC-led provincial government at Queen’s Park today. Doug Ford is a scourge to society and is running this province into the ground. #onpoli #queenspark #housing

What happened to the bike lanes on Woodlawn in Guelph @guelph.ca ? There's no construction notice on the city website but all the lines were removed this morning. @guelphontwowheels.bsky.social @bicyclemayorguelph.bsky.social

A VHT along with the renoviction bylaw coming before council in November could be a tangible step towards holding predatory landlords and property hoarders accountable. Tell your councillors to support these motions for a more affordable housing market ✊ #guelph #onpoli @gwlc.bsky.social @guelph.ca

“Ontario has been underfunding education systematically for years, while accusing school boards of failing to balance budgets. Real government funding per student fell by $1,500 per student between 2018 and 2024, resulting in 5,000 fewer educators.” #OntEd www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

“I would never say don’t protest, but it’s important to remember that protest is meant to be the beginning of action and not an action in and of itself.” - @adamadonaldson.bsky.social A protest should have an actionable and timely end-goal, otherwise it’s just to be harassed by a guy with a GoPro.

We know the number of people experiencing homelessness is higher and continues to grow. With a renoviction by-law we can help keep our neighbours housed. #StopRenovictionsGuelph #KeepGuelphHoused #ProtectOurNeighbours #PassTheBylawGuelph #StandWithGuelphRenters

Guelph Mayor and Council’s claims of supporting affordable housing remain futile until we have renoviction bylaws and vacant unit taxes in place. “Market affordable” won’t be affordable until we hold policymakers and predatory landlords accountable. Thank you @gwlc.bsky.social 🏠 #housing #onpoli

I know there's already a flag for the City Of Guelph but it should be redesigned more accurately to feature a short man driving a massive truck.
