@jerome The Islands were converted to parkland as compensation for the building of the Gardiner which isolated Toronto from waterfront. Expanding the airport with constant stream of jets will defeat the original purpose of compesating for construction of Gardiner. (and ruin remaining car-less peaceful village in east end).Curious to see who is lobbying for that airport expansion: Porter, or the terminal owner?

The East Don Trail project website has been updated which states completion of the project is now tentatively scheduled for early July! Remaining works include final paving, topsoil placement, terraseeding and building the Taylor Creek access road. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero trca.ca/conservation...East Don Trail Project

@AlexanderVI @c_9 His driver was caught numerous times speeding. This is the real reason they’re gone.

How are two cancelled trains and a 10 minute or later delay considered "Good Service"?#topoli #onpoli

@nev @avilewis Normally going against an incumbent is a long shot. But Chiara is such a fabulous community organizer and tenant advocate that she came very close last time, losing by only 94 votes.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_5_York_South%E2%80%94Weston#2022_municipal_election

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@c_9/116532876040912284Doug Ford’s buddies and the federally-controlled port authority have an airport expansion idea where the noise and pollution are so bad, keeping your windows open might be a problem. Not exaggerating.Call your MP and MPP.#TOPoli #ONPoli #CDNPoli #YTZ
