Vote progressive on election day By Jessica Bell Doug Ford has hurt Toronto. Ford slashed Toronto’s wards from 47 to 25 in the middle of an election, and threatened to suspend our Charter rights and freedoms by invoking the notwithstanding clause for the first time in Ontario’s history.

Councillors should ask new questions By Albert Koehl Is City Hall’s preoccupation with facilitating the movement of cars now just a bad habit that can no longer be rationalized in light of actual travel modes by residents?

EDITORIAL: A lost cause worth fighting for (Aug./Sept. 2018)
September 11th, 2018 · Comments Off on EDITORIAL: A lost cause worth fighting for (Aug./Sept. 2018)
We believe that lost causes are the ones worth fighting for. A case in point is the City of Toronto’s battle against the premier’s Better Local Government Act, which cut Toronto City Council from 47 to 25 seats. It was a move that reinforced the provincial government’s wide-ranging powers over the city, powers that are […]

Our elected officials matter now more than ever By Jessica Bell Doug Ford has been Ontario’s premier for just six weeks, and he’s dragging Ontario backwards fast.

Doug Ford announced his intention to cut Toronto City Council from 47 to 25 members last month. Coming when the municipal election had already begun, without notice or consultation, this move is a threat to our right to be represented equitably and effectively.
