It’s a tactic aimed at reducing traffic in downtowns, with the collected congestion fees meant to go toward improving public transit and urban infrastructure.


Toronto sucks, this will make it suck more.

Doug Ford blasts Carney government for proposal to limit use of the notwithstanding clause

Ottawa’s bid to curb the province’s use of the notwithstanding clause is “way overreach,” warns Premier Doug Ford.

Ford, the first Ontario premier to ever employ the Constitution’s nuclear option to override the courts, railed against federal Justice Minister Sean Fraser’s request to the Supreme Court of Canada to limit its use to protect Charter rights.

“It’s way overreach with the courts. Again, Parliament — federal Parliament, provincial Parliament — they’re supreme because the people are supreme, not judges ruling on stuff that shouldn’t even be in front of the courts,” he said Thursday in Vaughan.

I think they have Dougie on a “Say something vaguely conservative” once a month regime.

Police did right thing releasing man seen trying to assemble rifle outside Toronto store, expert says

Videos of a man who appeared to be assembling a rifle outside a Toronto store that were shared online garnered thousands of views and the attention of police, who briefly took the man into custody before letting him go.

But while the incident raised alarm bells for a shop owner whose security cameras captured the incident, one legal expert says simply holding pieces of what appears to be a firearm doesn’t mean police can press charges.

The Public Safety Minister accidentally tells the truth about Canada’s gun-buyback program

Lying Liberal DEI MP

There are two very simple ways to deduce what a member of cabinet truly thinks about his or her government’s schemes. The first method is to infer what any right-minded, reasonably informed person would think about, say, blowing three-quarters of a billion dollars (plus administrative costs) to confiscate legally owned guns, which we know are not being used in the vast majority of firearms-involved crimes on Canadian streets. The second method is to get ministers in a room where they believe no one is listening, and to let them know it’s safe to use their brains and not their centrally conceived talking points.
