“Mr. Ford Risks Alienating His Key Supporters: Both the Business Community and Fellow Conservatives
Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report November 2, 2020 Quotation of the day “Mr. Ford risks alienating his key supporters: both the business community and fellow conservatives. And Mr. Kenney, experts warn, could quickly set off a public-health disaster if the situation gets out of control.” The Globe and Mail compares Ontario and Alberta's pandemic responses. While Premier Jason Kenney has been criticized for a lighter-touch approach, Premier Doug Ford may be pivoting to Kenney's playbook, asking health officials to draft a plan to ease restrictions in hot spots. Today at Queen’s Park Written by Sabrina Nanji On the schedule The house reconvenes at 9 a.m. for private members’ business; on this morning's docket is second reading of NDP MPP Jeff Burch's Bill 164, Protecting Vulnerable Persons in Supportive Living Accommodation Act. Burch's bill would establish a licensing system for operators of supportive living settings such as nursing homes and children's residences. Bill 202, Soldiers' Aid Commission Act — which shakes up the commission's operations and reporting requirements — was referred back to the house from committee last week and is expected to be called for third reading this afternoon. With a handful of government bills currently at the committee stage, Bill 213 and Bill 207 are the only other ones that could be up for debate today. Bill 213, at second reading, is the red-tape reduction legislation that also gives degree-granting powers and university status to Charles McVety's Canada Christian College. Bill 207 is now back from committee study and poised for third reading; it would align provincial family law with recent federal changes.

News Release May 25, 2020 Councillors welcome new bike lanes along Bloor and University as part of City’s COVID-19 Response Toronto City Councillors Joe Cressy (Spadina-Fort York), Mike Layton (University-Rosedale), and Kristyn Wong-Tam (Toronto Centre) welcomed tHe announcement of new separated bike lanes tHis morning along Bloor Street and University Avenue, as part of tHe City’s ActiveTO program. THese bike lanes will make it easier for residents and front-line workers to cycle to work and practice pHysical distancing. As we begin to transition to recovery in Toronto and more businesses and workplaces open back up, How we will get around is a pressing challenge. For safe pHysical distancing we need to create alternative and safe metHods of transportation. Switching to driving isn’t an option for many, and even if it was, tHe resulting gridlock will grind traffic to a Halt, strangling our city and economy. It’s time for a new approach. Bike lanes on University Avenue (tHrougH Queen’s Park Crescent) and on Bloor Street will provide relief to two subway lines, creating more space on tHe subway for tHose wHo need to ride transit, and offering a new cycling option tHat is safe and uses our limited road space as efficiently as possible to move tHe most people. THe new separated bike lanes on tHese routes will connect cyclists to many of tHe area’s Hospitals and HealtH care facilities.

March 29, 2018 Mayor John Tory Office of the Mayor City Hall, 2Nd Floor 100 Queen St. W. Toronto, on M5H 2N2 Realizing Toronto Y
March 29, 2018 Mayor John Tory Office of the Mayor City Hall, 2nd Floor 100 Queen St. W. Toronto, ON M5H 2N2 Realizing Toronto’s Opportunity to Redevelop Downsview Your Worship, On behalf of the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE), I am writing to request your support for the redevelopment of the Downsview lands: an incredible, multi-billion dollar opportunity for the city of Toronto to increase its supply of housing, attract investment and jobs and cement itself as a global centre for engineering innovation. As you are aware, Bombardier Aerospace announced their intention to relocate their operations at Downsview. For Toronto, this move presents a tremendous prospect for innovation and urban renewal that is unparalleled in modern history. Spanning an impressive 375-acres of prime development lands, Toronto’s opportunity at Downsview supersedes previous urban development success stories such as New York’s Hudson Yards and London’s Canary Wharf (24 and 97-acres respectively). Not only is its sheer size unprecedented—Downsview is also shovel-ready, presenting Toronto with a turn-key public project that complements existing infrastructure. Unlike most urban renewal projects around the globe, this development is able to monopolize on existing public infrastructure stock, thereby avoiding the time and resource costs typically associated with the construction of new service and transit linkages. The Downsview lands are situated at the epicentre of three world-class universities and benefits from exceptional connections to existing subway, rail, and highway transportation infrastructure. Developing Downsview can improve the flow and functionality of Toronto’s transit network. The development of the Downsview lands promises to improve ridership and the efficiency of the entire transit network by encouraging two-way passenger flows.

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY PETER TABUNS MPP/DÉPUTÉ PROVINCIALE Toronto-Danforth
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY PETER TABUNS MPP/DÉPUTÉ PROVINCIALE Toronto-Danforth Canadian Centre for Bio-ethical Reform Box 123 5 - 8720 Macleod Tr SE Calgary, AB, T2H 0M4 Attention: Nick Rosendal, President July 18, 2017 Dear Mr. Rosendal, We are writing to let you know that large numbers of our constituents object to the delivery of your literature to their homes. In particular, the use of disturbing images have upset small children who often go out to collect the mail from mailboxes, women who have suffered a miscarriage, and pregnant women who plan to carry their pregnancy to term. Obviously, the parents of the children and the partners of the women in question are upset that their family members are traumatized in this way, or risk such trauma. Many others simply do not want to be subjected to such images. While you have the right to make certain arguments, people also have the right to protect themselves and their families from anxiety and upset. We will be working with our constituents to assist them in providing your organization with warnings that trespass is not authorized on their private properties for purpose of delivering your flyers. A copy of the notice is appended. We ask you to respect the law and the wishes of the constituents who send you notice prohibiting trespass on their property. Sincerely, Peter Tabuns, MPP Bhutila Karpoche, MPP Toronto-Danforth Parkdale – High Park Paula Fletcher, Councillor Mary Fragedakis, Councillor Ward 30 Toronto Ward 29 Toronto Sarah Doucette, Councillor Jennifer Story, Trustee Janet Davis, Councillor Ward 13 Toronto TDSB Ward 15 Ward 31 Toronto 923 Danforth Ave.
