If I'm the folks supporting expansion, I talk benefits, get technical, and paint this as a small change: - Board locally, fly nation-wide - Proposed jets comparable size - Just a 300m runway expansion - 1.5 decibel increase in noise - Just 4 people made 83% of noise complaints

If I'm the folks against expansion, I make experiential arguments to undercut support. Expansion means: - Limiting Port Lands housing - Crowding at Billy Bishop - Blocked views at Ontario Place - More air pollution downtown, on the island, and during Jays games

This is a really helpful article about Ford's island expansion plan.

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks.

Ford isn't unbeatable. He has good timing. He's only hit 40+ during: - His first year in office - The first year of COVID - After ending COVID mandates - When Trump launched tariffs When he's has to wear his record, his folksy mask falls and his poll numbers crater.

Or put another way, he's back to the support levels he had when he was still being booed at the Raptors championship parade, before COVID and Trump's tariffs saved his political career.

I am in shock. The man who declared bankruptcy six times is now bankrupting the federal government.

Two things Ford does when his poll numbers begin to dip: 1) Lash out 2) Distract One thing he doesn't do? Stand on his actual record. Because it's abysmal.
After nearly 8 years in power, Premier Doug Ford has become increasingly concerned about growing crime rates in his province. This has led to new calls for residents to essentially take self defence into their own hands: • Ford said its not unlawful to carry a knife • The

@ColinDMello A lot of the crime in Ontario comes out of the premier's office and his cabinet. He runs the most corrupt government in Ontario history.

NEW: How much public money has been spent shielding Doug Ford's calls from scrutiny? The government won't say, as it prepares a law that could nullify it's latest legal defeat. #Onpoli

Since 2022, provincial lawyers have worked untold hours to block attempts to access the government calls Ontario Premier Doug Ford makes and receives on his personal phone.

Instead of lowering costs, protecting jobs, or expanding access to health care, Trump is holding the entire legislative process hostage to bully a handful of athletes. I guess MAGA stands for Make America Gridlocked Again.
The Human Rights Campaign condemned the president for saying he would not sign any more bills into law until an amended SAVE Act reaches his desk.

"Under the United Nations "Nelson Mandela rules," adopted in 2015, accessing libraries in prisons is listed as one of the rules for good treatment of prisoners."
Holy crap, the feds are planning to cut all librarian positions at federal prisons.
