1. @fordnation invited Mayors & Regional Chairs to a meeting called an "Affordable Housing Summit" – Here are the facts & measures the province & municipalities MUST embrace to create affordable homes, rather than unaffordable sprawl #onpoli environmentaldefence.ca/wp-content/upl… #onpol 
2. The supply of developable “greenfield” land isn’t a factor behind the housing supply crunch. The regions of Ontario where population is growing & will grow in the future already have a massive surplus of “designated greenfield area” #onpoli

3. The real root of the supply crunch is policy that obstructs the rapid construction of more homes in existing neighbourhoods that could easily become be walkable & transit-rich. 2/3 in the GTA would choose these neighborhoods if they could afford them environmentaldefence.ca/wp-content/upl…
Pg10 sick kids ‘Smaller class sizes should be a priority strategy as it will aid in physical distancing and reduce potential spread from any index cases.’ Think Ford/Lecce chose to ignore this, for elementary, from sick kids updated report. #onted #onpoli
Pg15 sick kids ‘Attention should be paid to improving classroom ventilation in consultation with experts in physical plant design and modifications.’ Was this mentioned by Lecce/Ford. Any money for this? Listening to teachers, this is a huge issue. #onted #onpoli
Pg18 ‘Physical distancing of school staff from children/youth
+ other staff should be emphasized. Teachers should maintain a distance of 2 m from students +other staff as much as possible, recognizing that distancing will not be feasible in classrooms with the youngest children.

$4.2 Billion in tax cuts. Who pays for the loss of revenue in Doug Ford’s Ontario? Students lose as investment in education is cut. Per pupil funding down $54. Local priorities funds cut $232 million. Ford solution: scream broke! Cut educational workers. #onpoli #onted
Important to note that Ford has increased debt from $318 Billion to $360 Billion. It’s self-inflicted. Scream they are broke to pay for tax cuts. Loss of revenue is offset by removing public service workers. Services decline. They hope no one notices. #onpoli #onted
In turn, they focus on ‘union thugs’ and make them the target. In reality, tax cuts benefit the wealthier the most. Need a demon to blame though. Looking in the mirror is not an option. To further the goal legislation is brought in after certain contracts are finished. #onpoli
