To be clear, the Ontario government still owns the underlying land and assets of Highway 407, which under private control became one of the costliest toll highways in the world. It’s still privatization, and the Carney Liberals should stop falsely claiming it isn’t #cdnpoli
Dr. Hedy Fry@hedyfry.bsky.social · last wk.I’ve heard concerns from constituents about the federal government’s plans for Canada’s largest airports To be clear, the proposal is not to sell off our airports. The federal government would retain ownership of the underlying land and assets while exploring long-term operating partnerships
The inclusion of a greyhound racing event as part of Culture Night this evening is outrageous. Animal cruelty is endemic in the greyhound industry. This discredited activity cannot be whitewashed and put in the same category as a play, concert or art exhibition. @sineadgibney.bsky.social
Greyhound racing is cruelty, not culture - Social Democrats

It's not right that energy companies rake in inflated profits while ordinary people struggle. That's why we're proposing to tax windgall profits made by these companies, and use that money to fund our Solar for All plan. This is a common sense policy – it's up to FF and FG to adopt it.
I am grateful to have the support of ATU Local 113, who represent 12,000 public transit workers across Toronto. I'm committed to improving TTC services, fighting to keep our transit system public, and ensuring that workers continue to have good jobs. Thank you for your support!
This current Government is: • Lazy • Wasteful • Devoid of ideas While energy prices in Ireland are soaring to take the spot of highest in Europe, Government is ignoring the Social Democrats' measures and solutions. Our solutions aim to both help with energy costs and address the climate crisis.
☀️ Solar panels cost $5-$6/watt around 2000. Today? Around 12 cents/watt. The FT calls solar “offensively cheap.” Meanwhile, Ontario is planning enormously expensive new nuclear. Let’s give cheaper, faster renewables a fair shot. shrlnk.ca/s/QdTLdbI3

Happy Labour Day! I was proud to march alongside so many fellow workers in today’s parade. As a former CUPE steward and president, I will always stand in solidarity with the workers who keep Toronto moving. Workers built — and continue to build — our city.
War monger Donald Trump touches down in Ireland this Saturday for a weekend of golf. Join us in protest and let him know we reject his toxic politics: 📍 Garden of Remembrance 🗓️ Saturday, 12th September 🕐 1pm The majority of people in Ireland oppose his actions and his visit.
There is no endorsement that is more meaningful to me. Thank you to the 32,000 workers of CUPE 79 who voted to endorse my candidacy in Parkdale—High Park.
As a party, the Social Democrats are determined to drive long term reforms that this country needs – and not throwing pile after pile of cash at problems in housing, health or disability. We won't take the populist route, or promise the sun, moon and stars. But we will fight for a better Ireland.
Technology being everywhere doesn’t mean it belongs everywhere. The tech industry wants us to believe that AI in early education is not only inevitable, but necessary. We don't see it that way. This week, we announced a moratorium on generative AI for public school students in 2-K to 8th grade.

Ford walked away from an offer to restore travel lanes and keep bike lanes. The RFP makes clear that the province is still targeting EVERY SINGLE METRE of Bloor, Yonge, and University. This wasn't just a ploy to remove bike lanes in Etobicoke. It's an attempt to gut Toronto's entire cycling network.

'Thank God we don't have the media': Ford's off-the-cuff remark raises questions
An off-the-cuff remark by Premier Doug Ford is raising questions about public accountability.

And finally Ford’s government announced new procurement to build Highway 413, which will only increase congestion in the Toronto area.
Second, Ford’s government has put out an RFP for companies to rip out three major bike lanes: Bloor, Yonge, University, and Queen’s Park, Queen’s Park Crescent, and Avenue Road. Bike lanes move far more people than car lanes do. ->
That’s almost the entire network. It’s so much worse than we feared 😔
Toronto Star@thestar.com · 4w agoFollowing a victory at the Appeal Court earlier this month, the Ford government has issued a request for proposals to remove bike lanes on the city’s busiest streets.
The leader of Ontario's Official Opposition is sharing disdain on IG for Doug Ford choosing US corporations for various procurement contracts, via a screenshot from X. Impossible to take Cdn politicians seriously on this when they won't ditch the most openly hostile network to our sovereignty.
Bikes aren’t the reason why traffic is bad. Cars getting in the way of other cars are. The best way to reduce traffic is to give people other options to get around. That means bikes. And transit. And pedestrian-first streets.
Given today's news about the Ford government moving forward with restoring traffic lanes on Bloor, Yonge & University, I looked at how a traffic lane can be added on Bloor from Clissold to Montgomery while keeping the bike lanes. #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/09/diss...

A reminder, again, that Ireland has *chosen* not to take regulatory action against this abuse factory, whose office sits in Fenian Street in Dublin. I think this failure to act in the face of clear knowledge is an unforgivable act.
Data centres were allowed to use an unprecedented amount of the country's electricity supply, and wipe out any gain we made in renewable energy, without anyone noticing let alone protesting.
