ICYMI: Trustees in supervised school boards won’t be sworn in immediately after election, the Ford government says.
They will take their oath when the first board meeting it called, on a date controlled by the minister/supervisor

Internal records show provincial bureaucrats refuted Doug Ford’s arguments before he ordered Toronto bike lanes removed. thestar.com/news/gta/doug-fo…

Provincial Minister from Brampton, who ignored 19,000 comments received during consultation as well as internal advice against bike lane removals, ‘has a clear mandate’ to remove local bike lanes on city streets in a municipality where his government lost 15 of 25 ridings.

Is it too much to ask for publishers of articles advocating for cycling routes on secondary roads in Toronto to require their authors to submit a proposed alternative?
@RDiManno, is this the sort of secondary route you're thinking as an alternative to the Yonge Street lanes?

This is great news. I wonder if it’s to try and avoid some news coming out.

The Bloor Street Bike Lane has been, by all means, a success, so much so that businesses on Bloor that originally opposed it, now sing its praises.
Its reduced congestion and research has shown its had a positive impact on business.
This decision is based on complete nonsense.
#BREAKING - The Ford government says bike lane removal will begin on Tuesday starting with Bloor Street West.

"Imagine how expensive new cars would be if each model had to be tailored specifically, on a neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood basis, to what existing homeowners preferred to see parked in front of their neighbours homes?" — @jm_mcgrath #topoli #onpoli tvo.org/article/analysis-sho…
CoA: refused
TLAB: approved
DC: refused
Why? OPA 320 and the city’s steadfast refusal to consider that the size of a property is less important than more homes for more people. 4.1.5 of the OP is fundamentally broken and needs a total re-write.
Toronto has prevailed at Divisional Court to thwart a lot severance to build 2 duplexes a few hundred meters away from a subway station, thanks to the city's definition of "neighbourhoods" in the official plan. canlii.org/en/on/onscdc/doc/…
The City appealing its own TLAB decision to a provincial body is hilarious given that the city setup the TLAB *specifically* because it didn’t want to be subject to the OMB. Clown show.
