At the start of this election in May, a City Council that better reflected our City—true representation—was within reach. We could not have imagined a few months later we’d be looking directly into the eyes of a bully. 1/6

We’ve been working hard to improve King St to meet its potential. Adding traffic agents has more than halved travel times for transit users and made travel safer for pedestrians and cyclists. We have more work to do! Tell me how you use King:

Thank you @lorrainelamchop , and everyone who has reached out, for your care. This is not acceptable. I’ve been in ongoing contact with staff to identify solutions, and pushed to ensure Peter St is open for showers, water access & receiving referrals. And so much more is needed.

"Councillor Ausma Malik, newly elected in Ward 10 (Spadina-Fort York), called the legislation a clear attack on local democracy.” It is, and I'm glad @TorontoStar agrees. #Bill39

Star Editorial Board: John Tory should repudiate strong mayor powers

The Better Municipal Governance Act does not propose better municipal governance. Rather, it threatens to erode it, in the name of building more housing.

Deeply saddened by the loss of the incredible Ed Broadbent who spent his life in the good fight for equality & justice. When I last saw him, he shared experiences of putting ideas into action and the work left to do, from pharmacare to housing for all. We continue this work, Ed❤️

Toronto City Council just voted against a min 10% police budget cut: 8-16. See how your Councillor voted below. This is only one vote. A lot was brought forward to City Council because thousands have taken action. Continue taking action. This will be back on the agenda again.

The Province needs to focus on its promise to work with the City on the Ontario Place redevelopment application process, not threats. My committee motion in April directed City land not be considered surplus before any Council approval + other conditions.

The province will expropriate land owned by the City of Toronto at Ontario Place if a deal is not reached allowing a provincial redevelopment plan to move forward, a new report says.
