Every so often, I remember that Ontario has a salt water coast.

This week's newsletter tackles the Hockey Canada trial and provides resources to survivors and their loved ones who may be struggling. I hope that you treat yourself with gentleness while reading it and take breaks if you need them. The community events section is a great place to take a breather and plan some fun this weekend. This issue also invites you to attend my Education in Crisis Townhall on Monday and gives you all the provincial updates you need to stay informed. #TorCen #OnPoli https://www.kristynwongtam.ca/july_25_2025_newsletter
The New York Times put out an article this morning about Toronto's ongoing bike battle with Bill 212 and all. I remember some folks were interviewed during the May #CriticalMass ride. #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero archive.ph/1YYWN
#Toronto was a pioneer of recycling, something that #DougFord has long derided as unnecessary (what're landfills for?).
When his brother was mayor he privatized part of the garbage and recycling collection, a move both costly and resulting in worse service.
Then, as Premier, he's continuing the idiocy by privatizing the entire institution of recycling, a move which has already proven to be inefficient and corrupt.
As the privatization of recycling continues we'll see diversion rates drop precipitously as the private firms encourage more unsorted collection - which they'll find harder to sort - and will continue to have no incentive to encourage reuse - disposable packaging can be leveraged by marketing after all!
What's needed is a well organized public system, similar to what's done in Nordic countries where sorting is easy & reuse encouraged.
What we'll get is more garbage thanks to #Conservative Doug Ford.

The earthworks for the new nuclear reactor at Darlington in Ontario is moving along quickly. As a "small modular reactor" skeptic, I will point out that this isn't "small". The amount of civil works involved about ~same as a large reactor. In the end you are getting less power for the work. #onpoli

The Trustees you elected to represent our schools and community concerns have now been restricted. Join elected Trustee Deborah Williams, MPP Jessica Bell, MPP Kristyn Wong-Tam, and local student and parent organizers for updates and what provincial supervision means for our students, families, educators, communities, and democracy. Everyone is welcome! Your voice matters! RSVP at https://www.kristyn.ca/education-townhall #OnPoli #Ontario #Toronto #ToPoli #NDP #OntarioNDP #TorCen #TorontoCentre

Thank you to the organizers for helping to protect our neighbours!

Today I was in Whitby for public deputations on Bill 9. This Bill intends to fix real challenges with municipal accountability, but this Bill has significant room for improvement. I hope that governments takes the feedback we heard today to heart. #OnPoli #Ontario #Toronto #ToPoli #NDP #OntarioNDP #TorCen #TorontoCentre
Come late August as families and educators get ready for school, “it’s going to be a real problem,” Trustee MacLean said.“Expecting the director or supervisor to be able to navigate all the concerns of 582 schools is overly ambitious.” thelocal.to/school-board... #topoli #onpoli #onted
