  • “They Demanded — Under Duress — That We Stop Supporting Belinda ​[​Karahalios​]. We Are Appalled at This Bullying An
    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report August 20, 2020 Quotation of the day “They demanded — under duress — that we stop supporting Belinda [Karahalios]. We are appalled at this bullying and abuse ​ ​ ​ of power. It is a direct attack on our democracy!” The now-derecognized PC riding association in Cambridge sends out flyers attacking Premier Doug Ford and the PC Party over alleged "intimidation tactics." ​ Today at Queen’s Park Written by Sabrina Nanji On the schedule The house reconvenes on Monday, September 14. The roster for the Select Committee on Emergency Management Oversight — which will scrutinize ongoing extensions of emergency orders via Bill 195 — has been named. The ​ ​ majority-enjoying PC side will feature Bob Bailey, Christine Hogarth, Daryl Kramp, Robin ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Martin, Sam Oosterhoff, Lindsey Park and Effie Triantafilopoulos. The New Democrat ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ members are Gilles Bisson, Sara Singh and Tom Rakocevic; Liberal MPP John Fraser will ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ take up the Independent spot. The committee was struck as an accountability measure because the PCs empowered themselves to amend or extend the emergency orders for up to the next two years, without requiring a vote or debate in the legislature. Bill 195, the enabling law, also requires the premier ​ ​ or a designate of his choosing to appear at the special committee to justify any changes to the sweeping emergency orders. Premier watch An RFP for the next leg of the Eglinton Crosstown tunnelling project will be issued today. Premier Doug Ford announced the move in Mississauga Tuesday alongside cabinet’s ​ ​ transportation overseers Caroline Mulroney and Kinga Surma. ​ ​ ​ ​ Three construction consortiums have already been shortlisted and are now able to present their detailed costing plans to Infrastructure Ontario.

  • The Evolving Muskoka Vacation Experience 1860-1945 by Geoffrey
    The Evolving Muskoka Vacation Experience 1860-1945 by Geoffrey Shifflett A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2012 © Geoffrey Shifflett 2012 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation examines the development of tourism in Muskoka in the Canadian Shield region from 1860 to 1945. Three key themes are examined: the tourists, the resorts and projected image of the area. When taken together, they provide insight into the origin and evolution of the meanings attached to tourist destinations in the Canadian Shield. The Muskoka Lakes region provides the venue in which continuity and change in each of these elements of the tourism landscape are explored. This dissertation uses previously underutilized primary source materials ranging from hotel ledgers, financial reports, personal correspondence, period brochures, guidebooks, and contemporary newspaper articles to reconstruct the Muskoka tourist experience over an extended period of time. The volume of literature pertaining to American tourism history significantly outweighs similar work conducted on Canadian destinations. This dissertation, therefore, begins with an overview of key works related to the historical development of tourism in the United States followed by a survey of corresponding Canadian literature. The lack of an analytical structure in many tourist historical works is identified as a methodological gap in the literature.

Friday June 5 COVID-19 Update Dear neighbour, Toronto demonstrated its incredible solidarity this weekend as thousands marched with the family of Regis Korchinski-Paquet to demand answers and accountability for her death. Thank you to everyone who has also reached out to me and my office. I hear your grief, your anger and your demands for action. I fully endorse the letter sent by my colleagues, MPP Bhutila Karpoche and MPP Laura Mae Lindo to the Solicitor General, demanding a full, independent and urgent investigation into Regis' death. I was dismayed this week when Premier Ford tried to claim that Canada doesn't have 'deep roots' of systemic racism. Thank you to my colleague MPP Jill Andrews for responding powerfully in the legislature to Ford’s harmful comment. Our work must include making systemic change to end anti-Black racism in our institutions, including in policing. I pledge to be a part of this work. Please contact my office if you have questions or concerns, if you have petitions you want me to read out at Queen’s Park, or if you want to organize with us so we can use this pandemic to build a new normal.

  • Dodging the 'Perfect Storm'
    Dodging the ‘Perfect Storm’ Conservation Ontario’s Business Case for Strategic Reinvestment in Ontario’s Flood Management Programs, Services, and Structures September 2013 Introduction Flooding in Calgary, Alberta and more recently in Toronto, Ontario reminds us just how vulnerable we are when it comes to extreme weather events. The loss of life, devastation, long term social and economic disruption and the staggering cleanup costs in the aftermath of these floods clearly demonstrates how essential it is to have actionable guidelines, policies and programs in place to manage these events. Flooding in downtown Calgary (2013). Source: CTV News Flooding on the Don Valley Parkway, Toronto (2013). Source: CTV News 1 Dodging the ‘Perfect Storm’ – Conservation Ontario’s Business Case for Strategic Reinvestment in Ontario’s Flood Management Programs and Services, and Structures (2013) In Ontario, flooding is the leading cause of public emergency.1 To date, Ontario’s programs to manage floods and regulate floodplains have proven extremely effective and, indeed, the Ontario government has been a leading jurisdiction in Canada for flood planning and management. While much has been accomplished, several factors, if not addressed directly and quickly, will significantly jeopardize the ability of Conservation Authorities and all levels of governments to maintain and improve on this level of management and protection. Flood management is a shared responsibility in Ontario and Conservation Authorities are on the front lines of the Provincial Flood Forecasting and Warning program. In addition, Conservation Authorities bring added protection and benefits through watershed planning, watershed stewardship/natural heritage system management, monitoring and many other programs they deliver.

  • Joint Submission the Standing Committee on General Government Re: Bill 8, Public Sector and MPP Accountability and Transparen
    Joint Submission to The Standing Committee on General Government Re: Bill 8, Public Sector and MPP Accountability and Transparency Act, 2014 November 26, 2014 November 26, 2014 To: The Standing Committee on General Government Re: Bill 8, Public Sector and MPP Accountability and Transparency Act, 2014 The four school board/trustee associations would like to take the opportunity to respond and comment on this omnibus piece of legislation and in particular two schedules, out of the total eleven schedules, that will directly affect our membership. The bill’s title refers to accountability and transparency– two values that school boards and their elected trustees strive to ensure on a daily basis. Governed by the Education Act, school boards operate under many regulations, policies and guidelines and provide numerous reports, as required by the Ministry of Education, in order to demonstrate transparency and accountability measures. While we believe the government’s intention is to increase public confidence and to show an openness to the province’s electorate, we feel that, without due consideration of the current mechanisms for accountability and transparency that apply to school boards, we have been unfairly captured in the consideration of Schedule 1 – Broader Public Sector Executive Compensation Act, 2014 and Schedule 9 – Amendments to the Ombudsman Act and Related Amendments. The reporting requirements for school boards far exceed requirements in any other sector. These include highly detailed financial reporting three times a year in addition to multiple layers of reporting with regard to students, employees and board improvement planning. Schedule 1: Broader Public Sector Executive Compensation Act, 2014 The new proposed legislation aims to establish compensation frameworks for a lengthy list of public sector employers including those at Ornge, Metrolinx, OLG and the LCBO as well as the executives at school boards.

  • Lake Ontario Biodiversity Conservation Strategy, Workshop 1
    LAKE ONTARIO • ~ )> "' ~ Implementing a Lake Ontario LaMP • Ill -" ~ Biodiversity Conservation Strategy v Ill~ ; April 2011 ): z Lake Ontario 002987_IE10_03-B3278 Implementing a Lake Ontario LaMP Biodiversity Conservation Strategy April 2011 April 2011 To our biodiversity conservation partners: The attached Lake Ontario Lakewide Management Plan (LaMP) report, Implementing a Lake Ontario LaMP Biodiversity Conservation Strategy, April 2011, is the result of years of stakeholder consultation, solicitation of expert opinions, and consideration of existing biodiversity conservation program goals and objectives. The results of this broad stakeholder consultation process were summarized in the report The Beautiful Lake, A Binational Biodiversity Strategy for Lake Ontario, April 2009, which identifies twenty-six shorelines and watersheds of greatest value to Lake Ontario’s biodiversity. The attached LaMP implementation strategy lists the key recommendations provided in The Beautiful Lake report to be formally adopted by the LaMP. The LaMP will work to promote these actions, report on progress, identify resource needs and recommend additional actions as necessary to conserve Lake Ontario's biodiversity. The key elements of the Lake Ontario LaMP’s Binational Biodiversity Conservation Strategy are: 1) the integration of action priorities into existing programs and “place-based” planning activities especially within key watersheds, an activity best done by local governments and organizations and; 2) regional coordination of lakewide scale biodiversity monitoring and restoration activities. Given the enormous amount of work needed to restore and protect Lake Ontario’s biodiversity, the LaMP recognizes that the key to success lies in our ability to build and foster cooperative partnerships throughout the Lake Ontario basin. To that end, we ask that you consider the strategies and key steps outlined in this report as you plan and undertake activities to restore and protect Lake Ontario’s biodiversity.
