I love you too Robocop, but I’m not IN love with you

I love you.

Shawn Micallef: The Billy Bishop expansion pause was a real win for the people. But don’t put away those No Jets signs just yet

The federal government’s decision to pause the Billy Bishop expansion means that people who often win lost for once — are taking it badly.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #OverTheRainbow, any bird looking skyward. Met this immature Cooper’s hawk a few days ago who lost his prey. Maybe the squirrel went… up?

Sometimes when doing genealogy research you stumble upon stuff that leaves you speechless.

Sometimes you go birding and the best thing you see has nothing to do with birds

My @thestar.com column: Waterfront advocates have won. Yet another island airport expansion debate is over. Let’s not do it again. On the need for a real plan for the waterfront’s future, which could cement the status quo of a small island airport — or maybe not. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Matt Elliott: A Billy Bishop expansion has been grounded — yet again. Time to end the dogfight over the island airport once and for all

There’s time now for a real consultation about what the public wants Toronto’s waterfront to be.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Grey, any bird with Grey in its plumage. Yesterday was the unofficial Black-Capped Night Heron day at Biidaasige Park to celebrate the new expansion. These guys were everywhere!

Oh my god I think this nightmare might be truly dead in the water. What is this feeling? Is this happiness?

#Breaking: Federal government grounds Billy Bishop airport expansion

Together, we saved our city’s waterfront and grounded Doug Ford’s reckless plans to bring jets to Billy Bishop Airport. Thank you to Prime Minister Carney and Toronto’s Liberal MPs for listening. And to the tens of thousands of people…

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Triplets, 3 of the same birds. Enjoy these northern rough-winged swallows taking a breather together.

A group of TO civil society leaders (in a sea of people who aren't saying a peep) have created TO Reality Check to oppose the Island Airport expansion. Give them some time + share where you can. They've made it easy to send a letter to Liberal MPs who could stop all this today. torealitycheck.ca

This is why I constantly rail on “budgets are policy documents.” Look at a budget and you confirm what a government values. Doug Ford wants you to burn to death so he can tell you how great he is.

Yesterday Toronto had worst air quality in the world. Ford has cut 184 M from forest fire budget and spent 452 M on advertising! Don’t buy that he’ll ‘spare no expense’ fighting these fires his track record shows his true priorities! More on tonight’s OShow Scandal Panel #Onpoli

Expecting to see a lot of Toronto folks logging this film on letterboxd today

Any politician looking at pipelines/carbon capture (Carney, Smith, Ford) have a dollar figure on human life. Primarily children! Climate change will kill X people, but if we continue rich folks make $ Y. Not even real $, prospective $! These monsters deserve *TOS violations*. Literally us or them.

My contribution for a #contortionist #BirdoftheDay This mama redtailed hawk who gave me a little razzle dazzle: fanning out her tail and stretching one wing real low while maintaining her one-footed perch.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Orange, any bird with any shade of orange on it, which means I get to share one of my favourite birds: a Baltimore Oriole from this past spring migration.
