All of this, amplified by stepping back in from her leave. She could've used Council's failure to say she will make this policy across Ontario (or in the GTA or whatever) when she's Premier. That would have showed leadership in her current arena without comprising democracy.

Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie stepped away from her provincial Liberal leadership race to use strong mayor powers to veto a council vote that would’ve denied 4-plexes in that city, after the federal liberals threatened to pull $120M in proposed housing funding. So, a 🧵:
It’s going to be incredibly hard to get rid of these anti-democratic “strong mayor” powers when they’re used for things you don’t like after you’ve cheered for them to be used for things you do. Ontario politics really has become, “The ends justify the means.” #ONpoli

So what is it about this unremarkable far flung big box company from Austria that so enthralled the Ford gov't and local architect and design firms. The latter is mercenary amoral money of course - but what of the gov't? Odd. 🧐

IMHO this could become part of the Ontario Lib leadership race.
NEW: In the fallout of #Mississauga council not passing a motion showing support for 4-plex homes, the city has been denied housing funding from the federal government, believed to be $120M. I hear this letter from @SeanFraserMP was sent to council around 5 p.m. #Missipoli

Just saw a tweet about The Blues Brothers that said the joke was that they were making fun of that music. Now I shall leap from a bridge. This is from the guy who made the whole "this is what the Eagles joke in LEBOWSKI was about." I can't take it, guys. I cannot take it.

@shawnmicallef an adaptation for The One would be the length of three Infinite Jests.

As Bruce said in his afterword- In the end it is friendship that really matters in life.
@UofTDaniels Bruce goes thru some of George’s publications. Only 30 when he worked w Charles Jencks & then his seminal studies of Toronto in the 70s that informed everything since.
The skillsets in all respects are going to, and I'm putting this diplomatically, vary and for good reason. But I can't underscore this enough. There's no one waiting in the wings ready to do better. You can't hire reporters to go to these small towns these days.
This is, in part, b/c they tend not to be very Liberal. And, in part, b/c they have little influence over national politics. But for our purposes here, the best reason to hold fire is b/c these folks are not experts in trying to pin down politicians who do this all day long.
@shawnmicallef Nice on photographs but a bit less so in day-to-day life. So many streets with no trees whatsoever. The courtyards turn into echo chambers anytime someone drops a win bottle in the glass recycling bin (no deposits on beverage containers here).
@shawnmicallef This same area has 354 municipal councillors, sitting on 17 arrondisement councils, and about half also sit on Paris City Council. For comparison.
@jamespmcleod These views are widely shared. Are you suggesting they aren't fair game for criticism? The artist is giving interviews.
@shawnmicallef Paris is a museum city. I love it (and Barcelona, etc), but its rigidity is overwhelming and it’s not dynamic enough to serve all but those who were either lucky to already own.
@shawnmicallef Indeed you did! I jumped the gun.
@shawnmicallef Oh it’s here. Happened to one of my work’s delivery vans.
