It is sad that it's taken this long; completely irresponsible on the part of Metrolinx as well as Crosslinx - There should be a public inquiry (not that it will make much difference) - These people should never see another government contract, EVER!!!

The Ontario Place privatization deal would steal 155 acres of public space and nearly 1000 trees from Ontarians… and it will take away $650 million of public funds. Sign to keep Ontario Place a public place open for all share.eko.org/805241274t?ref… #topoli #onpoli

Ontario Place needs to be redeveloped. But clearly, putting a privately-owned spa on the waterfront is a mistake. Now is the time for FordCo to reload and come up with a better, more inclusive plan. Let's explore other options. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

The Ministry of Infrastructure's response to questions on their closures at Ontario Place is utterly insufficient and vague. I’ve written to the Minister of Infrastructure to restore public access on our waterfront and for a real plan to inform the public about work at the site.

With construction beginning, the path connecting the West Island to Trillium Park is closed to protect public safety. Trillium Park, a portion of East Commons, Budweiser Stage & a portion of the parking lots are open, as well as the West Island for passive pedestrian use.



Putin needs this guy right now, but if Putin comes out of this alive, he will chew Prigozhin up and spit him out

Why is construction even underway on an unapproved project, especially one as controversial and corrupt as this? The public are demanding answers, and access back to our waterfront park. This is a disgraceful abuse of taxpayer money. No one wants this development.


You can't believe anything China says; for half a century China has maintained that they respect the intellectual property of other countries yet they reverse engineer and copy virtually everything they get their hands on dronedj.com/2023/06/02/rep…


Screw Facebook/Meta! #BoycottFacebook #BoycottMeta

"I don't believe that either big tech or big government should censor what people see and say online," says Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre of Meta's plan to temporarily block news content for some Canadians in response to C-18, the government's Online News Act. #cdnpoli



My god, somebody finally gets it!

Transit systems designed to primarily serve a downtown core with commuters (like GO Transit) are failing in a remote work world. Everywhere to everywhere transit systems are thriving.



Hey Putin @KremlinRussia_E; the end is near!

Russian air defences successfully intercepted a storm shadow missile at Berdyansk. Unfortunately the intact debris then struck intended target and detonated.

Two successive quarters of contraction. GDP growth:

Q1 2023: -0.5%
Q4 2022: -0.3%

After the US blew up the Nordstream pipeline, it’s been downhill for Deutschland. 

High cost of electricity, gas and fuel have been wrecking…
