These are great ideas that Carney would be wise to support.

Ahead of the 2026 Budget announcement, New Democrats are calling on the Liberals to prioritize three big projects that will lower costs and make life better for millions of families, paid for by a wealth tax on the 1%.

Read my full letter to Prime Minister Carney.
Letter from NDP Avi Lewis to Prime Minister Carney outlining three NDP priorities for Budget 2026: 1. A down payment on a network of public grocery stores from coast to coast. $350 million for initial infrastructure, $290 million ongoing to build 50 stores. 2. Triple the federal government's investment in community housing over 10 years to $18 billion, to build a million new non-market homes. 3. A nation-building investment in health care, guaranteeing an increase of at least 6% per year to the Canada Health Transfer, costing $12 billion over 5 years. Additionally, conclude and fund pharmacare deals with the remaining provinces and territories. To fund these investments, we are calling for a wealth tax starting at 1% on fortunes exceeding $10 million and escalating to 3% on the largest fortunes, which could generate up to $40 billion a year, and $500 billion over ten years.

You know the Ford government is forcing Toronto down the wrong path when you got international experts like Mikael Colville-Andersen saying Toronto is a global outlier when it comes to removing bike lanes to this degree. #shame #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

The Ontario government has recently been sharing images of Bloor Street claiming the bike lane removals are "reducing gridlock". Here is what they really mean. Not the best edit job but it will do. #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero #BikeLanesSaveLives

About 80 people took part in today's "Access For All" ride hosted by @cycletoronto.bsky.social to underscore the point that bike lanes are also mobility lanes used by all kinds of mobility devices. Here’s a video I recorded as the ride left Christie Pits Park. #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

Client meeting took me to Scarboro, so rode Line 5. Still a novelty, haven't used this section since opening day. Better than driving. Golden Mile. Lots of ppl walking & cycling across this dispersed landscape. Visited French patisserie, Birchmount south of Eglinton. #walkTO #train #TOpoli #toronto

Another lesson from Brad Bradford’s crushing defeat across the City: maybe calling for ripping out bike lanes recently installed with millions of our dollars isn’t smart politics after all.

Aggressive driver can’t accept cyclist using centre of tiny residential street for about 75 metres, so blocked traffic at a 4-way stop to berate her about it. He yelled long enough I was able to exit my house and walk over to film.

“They pretend like they’re terrified so that they try to control traffic. And you know the roads, you know why they were built? Not for bikes!”

Sigh.

The Meadoway announced on their Facebook page earlier today the roll out of new wayfinding signage from Ellesmere/Orton Park to Neilson. Look forward to seeing more of these signs put up along the rest of the trail over the next few years. #BikeTO #ScarbTO #TOpoli www.facebook.com/share/p/1Gqn...

#Toronto 's congestion is not due to cyclists or construction. It's the oversaturation of Uber, Lyft, and all of the e-bike delivery riders all idling gas wait for the next ride or order. #TOpoli #ONpoli #cdnpoli

Did "activists" write the CIMA+ engineering study commissioned by the province? Or the U of T economic impact study of the Bloor St bike lanes? What studies do you have from any jurisdiction in the world that backs up your point? (I just assumed OP was a car-brained NIMBY so thanks for confirming.)

Here's a little secret: activist-authored "studies" that push a biased agenda aren't "evidence", just propaganda used in the service of imposing your bicycle-brained AUTHORITARIANism on the fabric of reality. But, feel free to keep rolling that boulder, Sisyphus. 🤣🤣🤣 #topoli #onpoli #biketo

Toronto police, mayor and the solicitor general held a crime prevention news conference this morning.

Among the measures: a plan for TPS to begin hosting video monitored locations for Facebook Marketplace and other online sales meet ups. #ToPoli

Per a press conference earlier today, lawyers made serious allegations that Toronto Police violated the constitutional rights of the four protesters who were arrested while opposing the Bloor bike lane removals in #Etobicoke. #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero www.torontotoday.ca/local/transp...
Lawyer says Toronto police violated constitutional rights of arrested bike lane removal protesters
A lawyer with Community Justice Collective said four protesters arrested in October were asked to sign conditional releases that prohibit them from participating in further protests

My wife & I rode our bikes along Bloor to watch a movie at the Varsity today & Doug Ford would prefer, after he rips out the bike lanes, that we instead (1) risk death by cycling without bike lanes or (2) pay $12 for TTC or (3) drive and create more congestion & pay $25 for parking

Um, what?

"The police cannot demand that people surrender their fundamental democratic freedoms as the price of being released from police detention."

#BikeTO #ToPoli #OnPoli
Charges aside, Leora Smith, part of the Community Justice Collective and a lawyer representing one of the accused, alleged the conditions of release for her client prohibited them from participating in any protests on public or private property while their charges are pending. That infringes on their Charter rights to freedom of expression, assembly and association, she said.

When we compare Canada to the US, Canada looks like a superstar.

When we compare Canada to the EU, Canada looks like a villain.

Canada wants an exemption from the EU’s powerful Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, a move that would accommodate past decisions to dilute and delay Alberta’s industrial carbon tax while keeping Europe at the centre of the Carney government’s plans to diversify Canada’s trading relationships.
