Aurora Ontario politics as usual
I’m looking forward to seeing Elon Musk this Family Day weekend as we celebrate two days of fun at Town Square & Town Park for our annual Arctic Adventure! From the lumberjack show to incredible ICE carvings, and so many activities in between… There’s something for the whole family to enjoy.

I’m looking forward to not attending!
We tried to invite Ontario Premier Doug Ford to our live show in Toronto on Thursday, February 5th, hosted by @cycletoronto.bsky.social, so we brought two comically large tickets to Queen's Park. Here's how it went.

Get normal sized tickets here:

Get over it. It’s an Aurora thing. You wouldn’t understand.

Bonnie gave good belly rubs though.
Will you commit to that at least?

💯
Parking lots are the original safe spaces.
Aurora’s core values are centred on access to parking as a human right.
repeatedly telling my good friend stephen holyday that the reason i can't hang out is because there "isn't a place for me to park near your place" had unintended consequences.
Councillor James Pasternak says providing visitor parking is an important part of dealing with "chronic loneliness." Councillors Cheng and Holyday also brought up parking as a way to make people feel less lonely.

Illegal as far as I’m concerned.
Looking for a name for these.

Infill Micro Towers?
Accessible Stacked Flats?
Traditional Apartment Buildings?
Super SSMUH?
6 Storey, Single Stair, Accessible 12 Plex

1.75 FSR
(1.6 FSR + 10% passive house bonus)
30% Lot Coverage = more green space than adjacent houses

Best of luck to Aurora’s favourite billionaire! #AuroraStrong

Oh yeah? I can do (did) you one better than that!

Driving Wharton Willie in my wanker panser because of course walking is practically illegal if not impossible in Aurora. #GroundHogDay #DodgeRam

As we celebrate Black history, we also celebrate Canadian history, and the leadership, contributions, and achievements of Black Canadians that continue to shape our community. Tonight’s flag raising is a powerful symbol of our shared commitment to equity, inclusion, and unity here in Aurora!

How dare my boy Brady invite my nemesis Lombardi onto his show for a fair discussion!! This is so unfair. 😤
One of Eric's best qualities. He won't always end up agreeing with you but he will always hear you out.
For the bike lane Qs, know that Eric went into the mouth of the beast (AM 640) so that Ben Mulroney's complaints wouldn't go unchallenged, to make the case in a way that might convince opponents.

I only listen to the people that matter. The ones that voted for ME, supported MY campaign 💰 and of course the guy that made ME a strong mayor with super powers!!

#gettingthingsdone for the rich and powerful.
This is politics, you can’t please everyone so may as well please yourself!
This comment on an Edmonton councillor's Instagram reel about zoning really says it all.

"Thank you for the consultation with the people that matter."

Best gig in the N6!

I 💯 agree. I’m the boss of this great town and I take credit for it all. I won my Strong Mayor Powers fair and square when they were bestowed upon me by the premier of Ontario.

#gettingthingsdone for myself.
The ‘F’ Grade Is on the Mayor, Not Aurora
Let’s be clear: it’s not Aurora that deserves the failing grade—it’s the Mayor of Aurora, Tom Mrakas, and his use of strong-mayor powers.

Keeping homeless people out of our neighbourhoods in Aurora is my fundamental responsibility as your mayor.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!!

Aurora’s Last Nail in the Housing Coffin
Affordability crisis is the flood itself. Housing costs climb faster than wages. Rent takes up bigger and bigger slices of people’s income.

How’d those lower hydro rates work out for ya Ontario?
This is an artifact.

Doug Ford before he became Ontario premier, opposite Avi Lewis before he became leader of the NDP (probably), with Evan Solomon anchoring, before he became a federal cabinet minister.
Doug Ford, Avi Lewis debate populism's impact on politics
