Thus confirming suspicions about the motives and corrupt practices of @fordnation and his developer donors. People talk about reasons for low voter turnout, one is surely that an entire class of politicians on the right exist solely to make the rich richer and voters know it.

Please enjoy my cartoon for Tuesday's @TorontoStar
When @JustinTrudeau took over from the Conservatives in 2015, #Canada's official poverty rate was 15%. After 6+ years of Trudeau, it was down to 7.4%. It was CUT IN HALF. The #CdnMedia continues to ignore this, but it's a fact.
The Ontario Science Centre, a Moriyama masterpiece, is built into the Don Valley and surrounded by nature. It belongs here, instead of being used to justify Doug Ford’s $500 million+ giveaway to a foreign spa company for building a parking lot at Ontario Place. #onpoli
NEW: Ontario Ombudsman Paul Dubé has announced he will investigate the Ontario Ministry of Education’s direct payment programs for parents and students "due to concerns about a lack of fairness and transparency." #onpoli
Is there a single file that Doug Ford hasn't bungled?

Why are they razing the parking lot trees if the underground parking lot won’t be situated at Ontario Place, as @KingaSurmaMPP mentioned in a press conference after the AG report? Does the left hand know what the right hand is doing? #topoli #onpoli

There's no way any other major city would let this happen. Imagine Berlin tearing down Tiergarten trees to build a spa, or London ruining Hyde Park for a waterpark. This province is an embarrassment. And so is @ThermeCanada

@stustin What is going on at G&M suddenly with the positive stories? I mean, they're welcome but what is it? Hopefully it is finally realizing what a disaster Poilievre would be!
Phil Verster makes four times what the premier of Ontario makes, only to fail the people of the GTA with these transit delays. Toronto neighbours and transit riders are fed up. It's time we demand accountability for the #EglintonCrosstownLRT disaster and #FireVerster. #onpoli
The Ford government has finally apologized - to the developers.

Pierre Poilievre and his Conservatives are trying to bring the dysfunction we see from the American far-right to Ottawa.
This is an absolute disgrace. Does @ThermeCanada think people will forget the image of a ruined park and hundreds of trees destroyed? The whole project is tainted beyond repair

It’s infuriating that this is allowed happen while @fordnation is under RCMP investigation for the #GreenbeltScandal and in light of the most recent AG report. Shame on @fordnation, @KingaSurmaMPP, @DiamondSchmitt, @ThermeCanada & @ThermeGroup. #DougFordIsCorrupt #BoycottTherme

Ontario Place is located in Chris’s electoral district Spadina-Fort York. All of the concerns he has conveyed from constituents about this sketchy project occurring on public land, with public $, have been ignored by the Ford government. He calls it corruption, and he’s right.

The Ontario Science Centre belongs here in Flemingdon Park. I joined local community leaders and residents today for a Tree and Natural Heritage Walk to learn even more about what makes the Science Centre, and its unique location in a ravine, so special. It’s worth fighting for.
26 hours straight in the House… and counting! Conservatives continue to play games but we will keep working hard to get Canadians the support they need.

Once again, Metrolinx and the Ontario government refuse to be transparent after years of delays & cost overruns with the Eglinton LRT construction. A public inquiry is necessary for accountability, but also to ensure the same mistakes aren’t made with the Ontario Line and beyond.
@ColinDMello I cannot understand why @fordnation prioritizes a very expensive controversial spa over healthcare. Our healthcare system needs greater investment, attention and expertise. We have great doctors and nurses. The system is sound. It just needs attention.

@TomMarazzo @sbmerganser @ikwilson @PaulChampLaw Bullshit and you know it. Gaslighting ottawacitizen.com/news/local-new…
@PaulChampLaw I believe the point was that the provincial and municipal governments botched this up. They continued to botch it on purpose. "Make it Trudeau's problem" comes to mind.
@PaulChampLaw If Premier Ford and the various levels of police had done their jobs, the EA wouldn’t have been needed. The convoy and damages across Canada needed to stop
@PaulChampLaw I’m in Ottawa in PPoilievre’s riding. Seeing him so much part of the convoy was chilling & it was made clear by the CPC they wanted to make it PMJT’s problem. Ford would never act. PMJT only used the EA because there was no other choice. Those protesters were not leaving.
@acoyne We need that here in Canada. Democracy depends on our journalist doing their jobs and reporting the facts. You can't let people like Pierre Poilievre get away with anything. Like attacking the media.
Shopping at the St. Lawrence Market is a holiday tradition. To support our city’s economy and these amazing vendors, on behalf of Torontonians, I’m eating everything here.
@acoyne You can draw a direct line between those Canadians who endorse him and those who are fully behind Poilievre. Tell me you're finally seeing what's happening here. #MapleMAGA
@acoyne Certain prominent Canadians? If it was a Trudeau you’d be naming them! What are you afraid of?
@acoyne @millerd99 Well, a little bit of that has to do with right-wing journalists beating right-wing drums, don't you think?
@acoyne As incomprehensible that many many media types do not see the relationship between the IDU members, Putin, authoritarianism and the newest player Poilievre.
@acoyne @CanuckTraveler Someone in our feckless media please pin down Poillievre and ask his views on Trump. Let’s cut to the chase. #NeverPoilievre
@acoyne Let's attach the names and not be so shy about it, Andrew. Conrad Black adores Donald Trump. The National Post publishes Black's dreck with regularity. The National Post also wants Poilievre's to be PM. It's an ecosystem of evil.
@acoyne @barb_hill You're never reluctant to name PM Trudeau. So who is it you're being cute about and not naming? And Why Not?

A developer wanted a 3 year shut down of the Yonge bike lane for a construction staging area. This would’ve been unsafe & unacceptable. I’m delighted to report that, working creatively with both the applicant & city staff, housing will be built while keeping the bike lane open.
