AMAZON , Don’t destroy AMAZON
Our forests are disappearing at an alarming rate. Over the past few decades, we've witnessed the devastating impact of deforestation, with millions of acres of lush, vibrant ecosystems being cleared for various purposes.
This alarming trend not only destroys the natural habitats of countless species but also contributes to climate change, soil erosion, and the disruption of vital water cycles.
It's time we take action to protect and restore our precious forests and oceans and finally Earth before it's too late.
NATO or other Organizations are also responsible for protecting our forests and oceans and all humanity with peace . They should respect to all thoughts without considering racism and finally developing to keep our planet Earth . We have no other place to live as alternative except Earth .
Let’s young leaders control future of our planet.
NATO and Organization are responsible to bring peace not to manufacturing war guns and tools .
We are all in one ship . Please don’t make hole our ship .
The state government's draft metropolitan housing targets can be summarised in 5 words:
Double The Housing Almost Everywhere.
It now needs a complementary public transport service plan to not leave people behind. You could call it:
Double Service Frequency On Everything.

Toronto’s story is of resilience and growth, not urban ills.
Joel Kotkin's portrayal of Toronto region in a recent column for the National Post paints a false picture of doom and gloom and misses key aspects of the city's dynamic growth and transformation over the past three decades.
Contrary to Kotkin's depiction, Toronto's downtown has not only welcomed tens of thousands of new residents but has also seen an addition of millions of square feet of AAA office space, outpacing most, if not all, comparable North American cities in this regard.
While Kotkin attributes discussions of urban divide in Toronto to Richard Florida, it is imperative to correctly acknowledge David Hulchanski's foundational work. Hulchanski's "Three Cities" project (https://lnkd.in/g4iAbSRF) meticulously outlines the widening economic disparities within the city. His research vividly illustrates the increasing affluence of already wealthy neighbourhoods juxtaposed against the deepening poverty in less affluent ones, resulting in a marked contraction of the middle class.
As a region, the GTA is less unequal. The real demographic shifts have been most pronounced in the outer suburbs, specifically in York, Peel, and Durham regions. These areas have become pivotal in accommodating the growth of young middle class families.
The impact of COVID-19 cannot be overlooked, as it has indeed been a disruptor globally. However, it's critical to note that Toronto's experience of the pandemic has been markedly less severe compared to the profound disturbances seen in cities like New York and San Francisco.
Far from a city in decline, Toronto is undergoing a significant transition. It continues to grow and evolve, as evidenced by the expansion of the Ted Rogers School of Management where I teach, which has seen its student body swell from 6,000 in 2006 to over 12,000 today—predominantly composed of students from Southern Ontario, debunking the misconception that this growth is driven solely by international students.
Yet, Toronto faces considerable challenges, notably the responsibility for housing refugees, new immigrants, international students, and non-permanent residents. These duties, primarily downloaded by the federal government, strain the city's resources.
With a population exceeding three million, Toronto surpasses several provinces in demographic size and complexity. This reality underscores the necessity for constitutional recognition of Toronto as a supra entity. Such a status would enable the city to claim a fairer share of the taxes that currently flow exclusively to federal and provincial coffers.
Granting Toronto a more equitable distribution of tax revenues is not merely a fiscal adjustment but a crucial step towards unlocking the city's full potential. As Toronto continues to navigate its transition, equitable support from higher levels of government will be paramount in ensuring its prosperity and the well-being of its residents.

Toronto is experiencing the same urban decline that has affected many cities in the United States. Recent reports indicate that the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is showing signs of the urban ills that are commonly associated with city life south of the border.

DC cannot write better than this. The scenario of BRS in the city is exactly on the contrary in rural areas. I am not sure how DC defends the lazy voters in urban areas. Did BRS over focus in Urban, hence lost in Rural ?
