I love taking public transit - even on vacation. Here’ s a view from the #edinburgh #tram 🚃. It’s separated and has its own right of way. #Toronto has so much to learn 🥲

Did a short pilot with the #urbanarrow and lil 👶 this week. No tears so I think that means he liked it😌! #biketo

Urg what a gut wrenching decision from the courts about the bike lanes. I guess I'll be bringing my son to his first protest in the #urbanarrow much sooner then expected... #biketo

Called and left this msg at the premier office today bc how can there be no money for #osap #healthcare #nurses but there's money for a private jet 🤨 ??? #onpoli
# Hi Premier Ford I'm calling today about my concerns of the purchase of a nearly 30million dollar private jet for your use. I'd like to know what is the business purpose for this purchase? I'm an expecting mom and it seems like every day, we are cutting funds for education and osap and healthcare but there's money to buy a private jet for your use?? Not only that but you will be ignoring freedom of information requests and further shrouding your office in secrecy. All of this reeks of corruption and I'd love some answers as an Ontarian. Thanks, Jackie
