    Cities should not fund arenas and stadiums. Pro teams are owned by wealthy individuals that can fund them

    Please explain to me why giving away hundreds of millions of public dollars to a team owned by a billionaire so people can pay $200 a pop to watch millionaires play hockey while drinking $17 beers in the midst of an affordable housing crisis is a good idea? #yyccc

    I follow @AuschwitzMuseum and EVERY DAY get 4- 5 stories about Jews young and old - often very young that were exterminated under Nazi rule. Every photo stops me and I feel sadness for them. You know our democracies can be vulnerable to this again if we don’t speak up

    24 June 1925 | A French Jewish woman, Gisèle Jeanne Marcovitch, was born in Paris. On 7 March 1944 she was deported from Drancy to #Auschwitz. She did not survive.

    Matlow has run a smart campaign. I donated to it But strategically I will now vote for Olivia. She will be a great mayor

    I'd been intending to vote for Matlow, but if it's now a two-person race, I'm voting Chow. We need a progressive mayor, and not a Tory acolyte.

    Articulate. Bright. Positive. Energetic. She won’t just do photo ops and repeat old press releases. She knows how to build a city that is sustainable, healthy and inclusive for everyone. For a better Toronto vote Jennifer Keesmaat for our 66th mayor

    Shit - that was a beautiful water feature designed with salmon swimming in it. At minimum Rogers should fix it. Skydome was responsible when I ran it

    Ontario Place shows Doug Ford is master of the meaningless | The Star Not a good way to start the day reading about the ongoing disaster that is Doug Ford. Only took 18% of voters to give him a mandate to do all this insane 💩

    Before I retired MLSE considered buying Argos I presented to Board 4 reasons why they shouldn’t One was that it was a natural turf soccer pitch & CFL football would destroy it.Today they are hurting a franchise worth more than $800m for one valued at maybe $10m

    Amazing how much damage the CFL does to a soccer pitch. #TFClive’s new Italian stars must be shocked.
