Paul WoutersNo, the “people of Ontario” should not overrule “the people of Toronto”, about toronto bike lanes. Doug Fnord is pulling a Trump whine <a href="https://toronto.citynews.ca/2025/08/06/doug-ford-bike-lanes-ontario-government/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://toronto.citynews.ca/2025/08/06/doug-ford-bike-lanes-ontario-government/</a>Next, let’s stop him from giving money to his friends for an imaginary $10B tunnel for cars and add some railway. <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/TOpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TOpoli</a>

Kristyn Wong-TamToday, on Emancipation Day, we mark 191 years since slavery was formally made illegal across the British Empire.Today is a chance to recommit to building a society that empowers every Black Ontarian to thrive. Thank you to all the Ontarians who work to build a province that lives up to the dream of social, political, and economic emancipation. Ontario has significant work ahead to dismantle the systemic barriers that Black Ontarians face in housing, education, health care, and employment.Happy Emancipation Day!

Ev Delen<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Toronto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Toronto</a> was a pioneer of recycling, something that <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/DougFord" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DougFord</a> has long derided as unnecessary (what're landfills for?).When his brother was mayor he privatized part of the garbage and recycling collection, a move both costly and resulting in worse service.Then, as Premier, he's continuing the idiocy by privatizing the entire institution of recycling, a move which has already proven to be inefficient and corrupt.As the privatization of recycling continues we'll see diversion rates drop precipitously as the private firms encourage more unsorted collection - which they'll find harder to sort - and will continue to have no incentive to encourage reuse - disposable packaging can be leveraged by marketing after all!What's needed is a well organized public system, similar to what's done in Nordic countries where sorting is easy & reuse encouraged.What we'll get is more garbage thanks to <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Conservative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Conservative</a> Doug Ford.<a href="https://www.thestar.com/business/torontos-blue-box-program-will-be-privatized-in-less-than-six-months-heres-whats-going/article_b6801dd6-7eb4-4b65-885e-1f249cac1ce6.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.thestar.com/business/torontos-blue-box-program-will-be-privatized-in-less-than-six-months-heres-whats-going/article_b6801dd6-7eb4-4b65-885e-1f249cac1ce6.html</a>Paywall Free: <a href="https://archive.ph/OHHCS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.ph/OHHCS</a><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/TOPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TOPoli</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/TOCouncil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TOCouncil</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ONPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ONPoli</a>

Neville Park"Most people in Toronto are just a couple of paycheques away from losing your house," Cllr Perks, the last speaker, says. "…Saying a shelter brings problems to a neighbourhood is like saying a doctor makes people sick…The people who live in shelters in my ward are every bit as much my constituents as the people who live next to me."<a href="https://status.nevillepark.ca/tags/tocouncil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TOcouncil</a> <a href="https://status.nevillepark.ca/tags/topoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TOpoli</a>

Neville ParkCllr Bravo mentions Lorenzo Berardinetti (whom Cllr Carroll was obliquely referring to before), former city councillor and MPP, who opposed a shelter in Scarborough and years later <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/berardinetti-gofundme-unhoused-former-politician-1.7422991" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wound up homeless</a>.

Neville ParkCllr Malik recounting how residents literally brought their children to consultations (which Cllr Bradford, raising concerns about "not enough consultation", was at, she notes) to "what about the children" her in person.<a href="https://status.nevillepark.ca/tags/tocouncil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TOcouncil</a> <a href="https://status.nevillepark.ca/tags/topoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TOpoli</a>

Neville ParkBack to the shelter item. Cllr Carroll is bringing up the concepts of dog-whistles and poison pills (both of which some suburban councillors are employing to try to keep shelters out of their wards).<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150706012958/https://www.thenation.com/article/exclusive-lee-atwaters-infamous-1981-interview-southern-strategy/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lee Atwater famously described dog-whistles</a>:<blockquote>You start out in 1954 by saying, “N—, n—, n—.” By 1968 you can’t say “n—”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “N—, n—.”</blockquote><a href="https://status.nevillepark.ca/tags/tocouncil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TOcouncil</a> <a href="https://status.nevillepark.ca/tags/topoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TOpoli</a>

Neville ParkWe're back! City Clerk John Elvidge is getting the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario (AMCTO) Prestige Award: <a href="https://www.amcto.com/about/awards/prestige-award" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.amcto.com/about/awards/prestige-award</a><a href="https://status.nevillepark.ca/tags/tocouncil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TOcouncil</a> <a href="https://status.nevillepark.ca/tags/topoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TOpoli</a>

Neville ParkCllr Carroll reminds us all that it's two years since the SRT (prematurely) went offline. "There's [temporary RapidTO-like lanes] in Scarborough and they lived to tell the tale."She says that personally, she felt it less aggravating to drive after the priority bus lanes were added because drivers don't have to deal with changing lanes to pass stopped buses, etc."We cannot side with those people who are constantly saying Toronto must do something about this congestion and traffic, but stand up here and say 'but we can't change anything'."<a href="https://status.nevillepark.ca/tags/tocouncil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TOcouncil</a> <a href="https://status.nevillepark.ca/tags/topoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TOpoli</a>

Neville ParkI feel like I should livestream the Council feed with my face in the corner so you can all see me just generally being in agony.

Neville ParkHolyday thinks the City is just doing it to look "progressive" to FIFA tourists, but most visitors, who presumably will be driving cars in Holyday's imagination, will see "the worst congestion" ever.

Neville ParkHolyday comes out swinging: "More like CongestionTO. I think it's rubbish!" He is very scornful of the idea of dedicated bus lanes and is a staunch <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_demand#History" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">induced demand</a> denier.(He says it doesn't save enough time—"it only saves three minutes!" An enterprising person could look up if he's said anything about the Gardiner East, which many councillors campaigned to keep up because it would slow down drivers by, like, 5-8 minutes? I can't remember. Was he even on Council then? Look, it's all kind of a blur.)<a href="https://status.nevillepark.ca/tags/tocouncil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TOcouncil</a> <a href="https://status.nevillepark.ca/tags/topoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TOpoli</a>
