Island airport expansion is NOT issue of surveys or power grabs. Both Federal & Provincial Gov. are showing either ignorance or lack of integrity. Creating a city, is creating a way of life. #Toronto4ALL: EQUITABLE • SUSTAINABLE • PLAYFUL. STOP irresponsible action. Let's create best possible city!

Watch AND share with decision makers, elected officials, staff, media, advocates, community. HOW PUBLIC SPACES MAKE CITIES HEALTHIER. My guest and presenter is Mark Nieuwenhuijsen, Dir. Urban Planning, Env., Health at ISGlobal. Invite: Cities for Better Health and 8 80 Cities. bit.ly/4whvzZ5

ONE EARTH! Our house is on fire! Every investment, everywhere, should be prioritized based on the impact on HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT. Earth will survive; humans might not. We owe it to our children, grandchildren, and all future generations. Let's be responsible. Generous.

Ask your elected officials how many PEOPLE they want killed by drivers on their streets. Once they answer, probably ZERO, tell to set max speed & road design to meet that goal. NO tech issue, VisionZeroNetwork.org can tell you HOW, for FREE. Congrats on 10 years making streets SAFER!

FUN is a feeling, not an activity. Cities should create possibilities for people of all ages & backgrounds to have fun. Cities can make living HEALTHIER & HAPPIER the easy choice. Everywhere. Policies + Infra + Programs.

Most ridiculous article Globe & Mail!! For over 25 years there have been more children & youth playing soccer than hockey. 50% children & youth play, more than hockey, basketball, baseball combined! NOT a cost issue; basketball & baseball cost same. All ages? Over 1m play soccer; hockey, not half!

WHY are plastic containers still allowed? Recycling is minimal, pollution is everywhere, for centuries. Why transport water from source to factory to stores to homes? Governments should mandate all liquids as soft drinks, detergents, shampoo, etc., should be refills or powder by 2028.

It’s about SAFETY • HEALTH • MOBILITY • HUMAN RIGHTS! ONE of four streets in Toronto do NOT have sidewalks! (Yes, shameful, in a city that I love) What if the city STOPS rebuilding sidewalks in ok state, and for 5 years invests all sidewalk budget on NEW ones? It's about building a CITY for PEOPLE!
