To hell with Loblaw’s and the grocery giants who are crushing Canadians during a crisis.
Don’t buy their claims that high prices aren’t their fault.

Before I got brought into my union my days were pretty grim & the future felt hopeless. Finding out that there was a way out of precarity changes everything for many workers & just having the sense of dignity a union provides is life changing. Best gift you could give is hope!

Hi I’m a big developer and I just can’t wait for the city to let me build so many houses and condos that the price of my product will go down even though my fixed costs won’t and also I could just decide not to lower the price. But yeah YIMBYs are smart people

Most 'consultations' are consensus-laundering, allowing those with the most free time and resources to cosplay as 'the people', while the majority of those impacted by the resulting policy are shut out of the process. twitter.com/Ramsey_Kilani/…

Tech Bro just inventing straw men left right and centre. He might have blocked me back can't hide his bad faith arguments from me
Look at this hero making a real difference in the community, driving down from his home in York Region to punish the poor people riding the subway while he earns 6 figures doing it. Inspiring

Over 100 riders were turned away after 1-hour of monitoring.
Do you know what part is frustrating? They have a valid Presto card or money to pay. They choose not to pay & argue with Police & TTC staff.
Fair Evasion penalty of $425.
Pay your ride as others do. #TTC

I've learned this weekend that as a person of colour who lives and takes transit downtown, I don't care about trees. That's according to Toronto's Twitter "urbanists" who are definitely not bad faith merchants slinging bullshit in an echo chamber.

Nothing is preventing large corporations from providing their workers with higher pay, vacation time, or other benefits, tomorrow, if they choose to do it.

City data is days behind. It feels like -29C this morn. Both downtown sites are full. North York's warming centre: full. Scarborough: full.
I've had calls to my phone since pre-dawn from folks freezing and asking when I'll be in so they can get warm & get gift cards. [1/]

Today, NYC app drivers are getting a tiny fraction of the raise that Uber sued to block. But has reintroduced rule making for the full raised drivers need and deserve. The hearing will be on March 1.

Men simply love to post pictures of European neighborhoods created hundreds of years ago by a monarch’s colonial wealth as an example of what will happen if we remove zoning and let Greystar Real Estate Partners build more condos

As a supposed surge in violence takes place on Toronto’s public transit system, the police force is set to cash out. I took a critical look at the skyrocketing media coverage of TTC violence, and explored who benefits.

CafeTo made this city better and the small minds that run it are about to destroy it. We are governed by the mediocre
Quote Tweet
Mayor Tory's executive committee is set to debate changes to CafeTO this morning. As @alysanmati reported last week some restaurant owners say the changes, including an annual fee and a requirement to build an accessible platform, could kill the program. thestar.com/news/gta/2023/

Cops don’t stop crime
Quote Tweet
There were more attacks on the TTC this weekend than any weekend so far this year, despite 80 additional police officers now patrolling the vast network. None of the advocates or experts we spoke to are surprised. toronto.citynews.ca/2023/01/30/ttc
New report: and find Uber drivers have "engaged time" only 48% of time in Toronto. What this means: $8/hr earnings. And a ton of congestion, idling, and pollution.

This assumes that developers will just lower prices
Quote Tweet
Government fees & charges add $116,900 to the cost of a typical home in the GTA. That’s about $800 on top of a monthly mortgage payment!
We are reducing & reining in runaway fees to help more Ontarians find a home they can actually afford.

Looks like increased policing is absolutely useless but we knew that already from our neighbours down south. What if we spent money on improving society?

Most egregious violence I’ve seen is from the police towards the unhoused
Quote Tweet
I think it’s worth noting the most egregious and sustained violence that’s happened in my 20 years in Toronto was committed by a housed business owner preying on marginalized people.
