good morning toronto. let's be clear about what dutty dug ford is announcing today: he wants to redraw our city's electoral boundaries three months before the election. we know this is wrong and, more importantly, we have every ability to stop it
nominations for mayor and city council close in six hours. dutty dug wants all those who've registered to wait several more weeks before even knowing where they're running, while he changes every electoral district to his liking. we can and must say no to this corrupt plan
dug didn't campaign on changing the composition of city council (he didn't campaign on anything). he says this will save money, but how much money would elections toronto spend trying to facilitate these last minute changes? that's our money, not dutty dug's. we can say no
mayor @JohnTory is proposing a referendum on this election's ballot to decide if we should change our boundaries and size of council. he's validating ford's idea, playing good cop to dug's bad. I think he's working with dug on this. we can and must say no to them both.
we know tory is a fraud because his council just led a four year process to review the ward boundaries. now he's saying: let's have a referendum on what we just decided. we know john is useless and won't ever stand up to the dutty premier. we have to do it ourselves
the opinion polls are coming, y'all. the conservative media is about to tell us torontonians want new boundaries and fewer councillors. but most people who want this aren't willing to fight for it. let's organize. time, common sense and enthusiasm are all on our side
.@progresstoronto is organizing to keep dug ford's hands off toronto politics

postscript: never forget that @idilatweets first blessed us with the name "dutty dug" 💫
