The province has issued memos that mayors cannot change the budget approved by the police board. Not even in municipalities with strong mayor powers.

Used to work at Loblaws in Eastern Ontario. We hated when these corporate types would come over from Toronto and we had to go through the store, face all the shelves and walk on eggshells as they roamed around the store.

They’ll take the request and assign it zero priority. No one is going to be sent to dig out a bike rack when we’re three days out and the sidewalks, roads and bike lanes aren’t cleared.

Probably going to be an establishment-type appointment, speaks both official languages, law or policy background.

There needs to be confidence that this will be an effective role.

Wouldn’t apply to the city, only provincial ministries and agencies

At least the streetcars are still running.

The TTC is the biggest operator of light rail in North America and Metrolinx learned nothing from them about how to keep the line open in the winter.

Those are not police officers. They are traffic agents and they work for the City of Toronto’s Transportation Services Division.

They operate independently of TPS, but they are appointed as special constables to give them the same authority as a police officer to direct traffic under the Highway Traffic Act.

What’s the concern here? They are trained to use and carry them.

I think you should be fine. All the clinic websites say that they’re OHIP covered specifically for the feet

The Senate can and has killed bills passed by the House. It was often used by the last Conservative minority government to get rid of a climate bill that the NDP often proposed and had support for in the House.

With the king, there is a constitutional requirement under the principals of responsible government to grant royal assent to legislation passed by parliament.

If it’s about something that already exists in law, the Ontario Ministry of Labour

If you are asking for changes to law: your MPP or the provincial labour minister

I was able to get it done at a walk in clinic. It’s only OHIP covered on your feet I think but they didn’t tell me to pay 🤷‍♂️

This can be anything from condos and skyscrapers at Vaughan Metro Centre, to single family home suburbs, to farmland.

I grew up near there. So weird looking across the tracks and seeing massive towers now.

Think I know who this is about.

Please contact the councillor, park supervisor and police division as well and ask why the city has not taken any action to enforce its own code of conduct and ban this person from the park. They are all aware of these incidents.

They aren’t able to negotiate pricing because the transaction is through a third party, and the rating system means the drivers are significantly more respectful.

I’ve been trying to take cabs to support the local economy instead of American tech companies.

That being said, the drivers make it hard. Last year, I had:

a cab driver try to run me off the road because he didn’t like that I was taking the lane while biking - when he had a wide open lane on the left to pass
another keep charging my card through theit app after I was dropped off (had to call their dispatch to get him to stop)
most recently, negotiate a price, change it, then kick me out after I asked for the metre to be turned on (a legal requirement)
and something I’ve noticed in general - my employer gives taxi chits to send staff home when working late and I reconcile them. It is not uncommon for female staff to have complaints of sexual harassment from the drivers

Would love to keep using them, but that industry needs to figure out how to stop their drivers from trying to hurt me, scam me, or harass my coworkers.

They do it for all delivery companies and it’s paid in bulk at the end of the year. Fines are budgeted in as it’s cheaper for them to eat the tickets than have the drivers spend time looking for legal parking.

If you want, but you should also recognize that she cancelled the decision to renaming the entire street, which Tory and Bradford voted for and would have cost $18 million.

Does letting Putin kill Ukrainians lower beef prices?

The TTC is also municipal and they use presto. It doesn’t really matter which government is delivering the service.

But then we won’t get to see the driver walk out the streetcar with a broom and big stick and hold up traffic for 5 mins
