1639403155371769857 Which @ATUlocal113 workers got a 2% raise this year being nickel & dimed. Service being cut across the city. Violence on the TTC. Rick Leary decided to reward himself with a 7.95% increase from $438k to $473. @BlakeJActon @MaggiPigg @SueAnnLevy @BenSpurr https://t.co/RDfbTwYK6b 7
1638737325327802368 @BenSpurr Liberals frequently invoked the Michaels as a shield to shut down criticism of China and substantiate their (in)actions relating to Beijing. Freeing the two-Michaels would a) take that away, and b) shape how people perceive Canadian foreign policy and action on China. 6
1638737897397407744 @BenSpurr At the same time, Canada lagged our allies in acting to ban Huawei from our 5G networks. There was also no shortage of Liberals advancing the spin that Canada was just doing Trump's bidding by detaining Meng Wanzhou and she should just be released. 5
1638175345265479680 Well I can only hope @TorontoStar gives every candidate op-ed space for fairness. @BenSpurr @_VictoriaGibson @AnneMarieOwens https://t.co/8z3eQI8VzR 4
1637410472897961985 @BenSpurr Wasn't her husband in the vaccine business? Heavy corruption, that what is being celebrated? How about all the destroyed businesses, suicides, delayed cancer screenings leading to deaths? I could go on. 4
1639283133336911873 @BenSpurr Shouldn't the integrity commissioner have investigated the mayor having a relationship with a staff member? And then costing the city millions because he resigned after we found out & now we have to have another election? Seems like that lacked "integrity" #topoli 3
1639589678822113280 @brohamilton04 @LiesAreNotTruth @BenSpurr @TTChelps @TorontoStar @TheTorontoSun @imthedarkknight @ATUlocal113 @CUPE5089 @CTVNews @TPSOperations The TTC paid the subject officers to sit home for 2+ years, when the investigation was supposed to take 20 weeks. Look what they made in 2022 alone… https://t.co/BIUzFRoKQM 3
1638075260313522176 @BenSpurr John Tory's legacy: keep pushing property taxes (and therefore city revenues) lower and lower, keep shoveling money into the Gardiner Expressway, leave before it blows up I don't envy the next mayor, effectively forced to be the one to have to slay the property tax golden calf 2
1639284809066332161 @BenSpurr Yet the Integrity Commissioner has no problem with Mayor John Tory receiving $100,000 annually from Rogers... This decision on Marlow is obviously political. 2
1639282422536716289 @BenSpurr This seems like overkill. Why did it take them 9 months to investigate this? Surely a warning to the councillor would be sufficient. 2

1639263169888546818 @BenSpurr Why is the integrity commissioner trying so hard to make me like Josh Matlow?? 53
1639276296680210433 @BenSpurr …but did he lie? No. Park bathrooms weren’t all open. Why does asking the question about being lied to constitute reprimand? 35
1639268016012550155 @BenSpurr Toronto needs to distance itself from its John Tory years, and fast. https://t.co/I4um2N8Uza 32
1637878000879386624 @BenSpurr Cancel the Gardiner, tear it down, cancel the burying of Eglinton West, add revenue tools. 30
1638560278194405379 @BenSpurr ...but if you enclose them so that they actually "shelter" then folks without homes will take refuge there...can't have that 28

1639268974381629440 @BenSpurr so...who gets to criticize city staff? are city staff not accountable to elected politicians? are they beyond reproach? 26
1639269863238643714 @BenSpurr I am suddenly liking @JoshMatlow a lot more. And I am an undecided voter. 23
1639260516030849025 @BenSpurr @dmrider i’d wear it with pride. 22
