I am excited to announce the launch of my new company cityforest.ca. My goal is to help people care for their trees and shrubs while also raising awareness about the need to protect and grow our urban forest.
Now that Bill 212 has been passed, the 2022 TTS results have been made available. For the record, bike share for trips between home/work by Toronto households: Total: 4.3% Ward 11: 16.3% Ward 9: 15.1% Ward 13: 10.8% Ward 4: 10.4% Ward 14: 10.1% Ward 10: 7.7% Ward 19: 7.5%
Polling Ontarians broadly about locally-specific infrastructure that most will never encounter kind of speaks to how this is about good politics, not good policy.
Ontarians support Premier Doug Ford’s controversial bid to curb municipal bike lanes by a two-to-one margin, a new poll suggests. trib.al/g0ppHD8
1/ This might be the most dishonest use of a 5-point likert scale I have ever seen. Holy shit this is bad. Don't know if it s @robertbenzie's interpretation or @DavidColetto's but it should be punishable by incarceration.
NEW: @abacusdataca poll for the @TorontoStar finds strong support for Premier Doug Ford’s bike lane reduction scheme. Even in Toronto where only 1% ride to work. #topolj #onpoli thestar.com/politics/provi…
This is aggressively stupid. It will accomplish nothing but to get people killed.
BREAKING: Ontario has just proposed regulations that would rip out bike lanes in Toronto on Bloor, University and Yonge: ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-926…
Doug Ford @fordnation wants to kill Toronto’s University Avenue bike lanes to attack congestion. The reality: The street was below capacity for cars before the pandemic. 2020: theglobeandmail.com/canada/toronto…
The University bike lanes that Ford says he’s ripping out were specifically requested by the CEOs of the hospitals they front so that their nurses, doctors, and staff could get to and from work safely.
NEW: Just one day after the Ford government tabled legislation to review all existing bike lanes in Ontario, the premier is strongly suggesting the decision on at least three routes has already been made. “They’re coming out.” globalnews.ca/news/10825146/… #Onpoli
So when forbidding bike lanes doesn’t work to reduce congestion, what will Ford do next? Rip out the sidewalks? Ban buses and streetcars? Make walking illegal? 🙄
This might be the most goddamn stupidest example of Provincial blue tape micro managing I have seen in a while.
340,000 trips along Bloor this year that @PrabSarkaria and @fordnation would rather have happened in cars.
Today in @globeandmail we reimagine the Toronto Island airport as a grand park. theglobeandmail.com/canada/toronto… Toronto: we could have this.

New from me at TVO: If the Therme lease is the government's best spin on their Ontario Place spa, this is gonna be a fiasco. tvo.org/article/opinio…
A visual reminder of the over 100 hundred streams and rivers that would be polluted and made more flood prone by Highway 413. #onpoli #Stopthe413
Here's @Richard_Florida spinning for his clients @PortsToronto as they bully the @cityoftoronto into giving up a central piece of the waterfront for 40 years. thestar.com/opinion/contri…
The Ontario Place spa is a costly extravagance we’ll be subsidizing forever — by @jm_mcgrath #onpoli tvo.org/article/opinio…
Each of those trees took 30-50 years to get to that height. We need to plant more trees. And we need to protect the ones we already have. And not just because they look nice. Because they reduce urban heat and protect from floodwaters as well.
Sickening sound of chainsaws cutting down 60-ft pine trees on Ontario Place West Island to make way for Diamond Schmitt’s Therme spa. Hundreds of trees cut yesterday, bird habitat which would be protected under Ontario law, but govt exempted site from env regulations. Shameful.
"To receive this $3.8-$5.2 million per year in rent and park maintenance, the Province has committed to spending over half a billion dollars in public dollars now." @CdnArch's damning analysis of the Ontario Place deal: canadianarchitect.com/amid-837-trees…
