“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 City Council for voting to stand up for renters against the impacts of #Bill60, including by reviewing legal options to fight the Bill. Today's vote is an important affirmation of our rights as tenants and the clear link between evictions and homelessness.

NEW: 4 years ago, the government studied whether or not a tunnel under Highway 401 was doable, finding a risk of collapse and eventually pausing the work. Now, it is refusing to release the study - after paying a company $9.1M to do it again. #Onpoli globalnews.ca/news/1151718...

Given that wealth yields political power, the more accumulation, the less likely redistribution becomes.

I think the headline doesn't do the best job of selling this column from Tim Wu. The column is worth a read. We're living in an era of wealth and power concentration, and the people and firms in charge are very good at defending their dominance. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Ford's gravy train stops at a strip club. $10 million of Skills Development Fund went to the owner of a strip club. Women refused to work and walked out because they were expected to wear fishnets and g-strings. This is where Ford is spending our tax dollars. #ONpoli

Funny. So apparently Metrolinx is happy to have its people talk to the media — as long as it’s not about the building or operation of transit

Canada’s pension funds moved from passive investing and chose instead to pay big commissions to managers who can’t even beat an index fund. So now these overpaid execs want the government to supply them with low-risk, high-return public assets www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art... #cdnpoli

“Look, there is nothing like 20/20 hindsight,” said ex-premier Kathleen Wynne, who is sorry-not sorry about her government’s decision to ignore years of repeated warnings and hand over the Eglinton Crosstown project to inexperienced Metrolinx & P3 financiers #p3fail #onpoli

"We were right. But so what? Nobody listened": the Liberal government was repeatedly warned about risks of P3 procurement & Metrolinx inexperience by transit experts, the construction industry, NDP & the Auditor General — but went ahead anyway #p3fail www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... #onpoli

“That complicates Piccini’s claims he pays for his own tickets, given that any money repaid could have gone back to the family of Peter Zakarow, and the two of them may have had to set their own price for tickets that routinely go for more than $1,000 each” www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/poli... #onpoli

Doug Ford wants to end security of tenure - Allowing landlords to evict people at will "lease... expiry that could allow landlords to control who occupies their units and for how long, allowing them to adjust tenancy arrangements based on market conditions, personal needs, or business strategies"
