That Frances Nunziata was installed as Council Speaker says a lot about Olivia Chow's lack of political acumen.
#Toronto needs a Mayor who is a Progressive AND a Leader.
Chow doesn't have it.

Hostile Architecture.
What Stephen Holyday is referring to is Hostile Architecture.
There's a Wiki for that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostile_architecture

Toronto City Council scheduled to meet Wednesday through Friday. Watch live here. #tocouncil #CityofTO #TOpoli
Toronto's City Council has 183 items on the agenda for the March meeting. That's a lot of voting in the next few days. h/t @graphicmatt.com #TOCouncil #TOpoli
Politics that matter. The level of government with the most direct impact on daily life. Toronto City Council meets this week dealing with plenty of important issues. #tocouncil #topoli #CityofTO
Here’s the agenda.

In addition to denying what international authorities have concluded - that the actions in Gaza have been genocidal - Pasternak wants to defund pretty much anything critical of Israel. This isn't a #TOCouncil member who is objective for all constituents. It's giving US lobbyist.
I’m watching #TTC press conference right now. The chair Jamaal Myers is a weak joke. You’d think they’d have thought about the Finch LRT issues that appear completely new to him before. He is #NotUpToTheJob. Mayor Chow needs someone competent in that position, pronto. #Toronto #topoli #tocouncil
New York City (finally) awards contract to instal 500 Secure Bike Parking "hangers", offering thousands of riders peace-of-mind in their daily commute / life. (Not without controversy in the small Bike Infrastructure biz...)

At about the 20:00 mark Josh Johnson talks about how Rob Ford, the late brother of #DougFord, was likely the beginning of the end of Shame in politics.
Can't say I disagree with him.
What a proud distinction for the City of Toronto and Ford Nation at large.
#TOPoli #TOCouncil #Toronto […]
Good luck to #OntarioRenters as the #DougFord administration:
- Strips "Security of Tenure" (the right to live in the same rented house as long as you're paying rent)
- Enables corporate landlords to evict tenants based on “market conditions, personal needs or business strategies" (yup, now […]
Twenty Seven BILLION dollars wasted on a toy train that will not address #Toronto's transit needs in the 1990's, let alone the transit needs of today and tomorrow.

The #DougFord #OntarioPlace #Scandal is getting worse and worse.
From ever more rocky finances to Doug's "Stress Test" where Therme had to prove it was worth 1/4 of the value of their proposal - yup, one quarter, a $100mil stress test on a $400mil project - every week we learn more about how […]
Excerpt from the originally linked article reading: “These risks are for the company and its shareholder to evaluate and manage, neither of whom have asked for the unsolicited opinions of these advisers,” Therme said. “Therme has had sufficient capital to continue its development projects.”

Wow, that kind of a response to a media inquiry means a nerve has been touched.
Also, the use of the past-tense in the second paragraph, is that a tell?

#Toronto was a pioneer of recycling, something that #DougFord 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 […]
Toronto has once again come up with a perfect Toronto solution to bus lanes on Bathurst/Dufferin… cutting that baby in half, so it can die of neglect and lack-of-enforcement, the 2 rivers that flow in the city.
#topoli #tocouncil
In answer to the question posed in the headline:
Conservatives!
First Rob Ford, then John Tory, and now Doug Ford (who based on his behaviour would rather be the 'super mayor' of Toronto than the Premier).
It's easy to destroy (like cancelling costed, evidence based transit plans that took […]
Watching @toronto.ca Council it’s not hard to see why municipal government is the most important. Council makes the decisions that affect your everyday life from garbage collection, road maintenance, schools, public safety and so much more. Next election please vote. #CityofTO #tocouncil
Brutal #tocouncil - half a lane, bike, bus whatever- is worth nothing. Maybe less. Way past time to get off the pot, you’ve had your chance with Bathurst, Dufferin bike lanes and so much else - let some new people get this city moving. Where is your leadership, #MayorChow? Never showed up.
No brainer, #topoli #tocouncil Our entire system - roads, parking, curbs - needs to be more responsive, never mind prioritizing transit in general
Ah, yes! Run #Toronto with nonsensical ideas imported from #Vaughan. Maybe Anthony needs to finally retire. Or run for council north of Steeles. Please. #topoli #tocouncil
Your periodic reminder that #DougFord cares more about being the Super-Mayor of #Toronto than he cares about all of the rest of the province he is charged with running.
This is not the kind of issue a Premier should be getting involved with, this isn't even the kind of issue a Minister of […]
Wow... the cameras are set to only ticket drivers who are going 10km/h or more OVER the posted speed limit, and Clr. Anthony Perruzza calls them "speed traps", demanding more signage.
How about the POSTED SPEED LIMIT?
If you drive at or near it you won't have to worry about a ticket! […]

Ok ok back to the serious discussion #topoli #tocouncil
I can't fathom the disconnect between a national housing crisis and nimby fights over a six plex. #TOCouncil
Power out at my mom’s high rise. 2 x 80+ who are “ok” but could not make it down on their own if they need to.
Check in on family & friends - especially those that are always “ok”.

Cars turning right. That's the most dangerous thing for pedestrians & bikes. And we can eliminate that, in big cities like Toronto, anyway.
PS a study is awesome, could have bought a few beers at any downtown brewery and been told the same...

Watching this video I can't stop thinking about the opportunities squandered in #Toronto thanks to John Tory.
Just as bad is watching as a so-called "Progressive Mayor" continues those policies.
