Thanks to @FriendsofBerczy for organizing today’s #EarthDay2023 clean up.

It’s always great to see people come together to take care of our communities - even in the pouring rain! Olivia and some volunteers ...A volunteer sweeping the sq...
Most of the litter today was #SingleUsePlastics and takeout containers. It will return again and again, unless we take action to reduce this waste at the source.

Our city needs solutions like #ReusableTO containers, sustainable packaging and small business supports to go green.
And there is so much more we can and must do to protect our environment and act on the climate crisis.

We can have reliable public transit, safe streets for cyclists and pedestrians, thriving green space, clean rivers, climate-ready communities, and good green jobs!
In the weeks ahead, I'll be sharing more about my lifelong commitment to the environment and how Toronto can make its comeback as a global leader on climate action. Stay tuned! #TransformTO #TOpoli

Toronto is losing affordable housing fourteen times faster than it is building it.

I’m committed to building hundreds of thousands more units of housing across the city (more on this to come!) and acting now to save the affordable housing we have today. Olivia standing with tenant...
As your new Mayor, I will make a historic $100 million annual investment through the Secure Affordable Homes Fund.

This will stop renovictions by helping purchase, repair, and transfer affordable rental apartment buildings to community ownership. A graphic which reads:  Sec...

On the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, I quote a message from @RAVENtrust

Eleven. 
That’s how many of the 94 Calls to Action from 2015’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission have been completed.  1/5
In jails around the country, Indigenous Peoples make up 37% of the prison population: many are incarcerated for the ‘crime’ of being impoverished or traumatized.

Mad about Ottawa Police inaction #OttawaSiege?
Who is in charge of the Ottawa Police and is the boss of @OPSChiefSloly? Who sets firm deadline and policy for him to enforce? @dianedeans of the Ottawa Police Service Board. 1
@OPSChiefSloly reports to the board and shall obey its lawful orders and directions.  R.S.O. 1990, c. P.15, s. 41 (2). Chair @dianedeans and the board are responsible for “the provision of adequate and effective police services in the municipality and shall, 2
