Affordable housing is a key priority, but that’s already planned for the parking lots at Ontario Place - let’s provide housing on the lots and keep the Science Centre where it is.

The whole scheme appears to be written on the back of a napkin, with no consideration for the impacted communities. Nobody wants this, except for Doug Ford, politicians who support him and the people he’s making very rich.

We all need to take a stand against these generational mistakes, and stand up for the people of Toronto.

In case you missed them, here are the policy ideas we announced during the first month of our campaign:

Wise words Blake. To which I would add that we( ie homo saps) have bad record of correctly anticipating/predicting impacts of new technologies.

Thanks CIFAR. I have been truly fortunate to have great colleagues everywhere I’ve worked.Made what I did easy, fun. #science never been more important than now(pandemics,climate change,populism,distrust in institutions, etc).this honour for science not just for me.

Many thanks @johnwhepburn

Many thanks Steve Paikin for your kind words.How much world has changed since I was on your show; COVID then great vaccines in record time;climate change no longer something that affects others,rise of populism;we need science and values of science today more than ever

Well said David. Ian cared deeply about civil service as a calling.He embodied what all of us would want in a perfect civil servant: intelligence, humanity,humility,the highest integrity,quiet humour and he never took himself seriously.A huge loss for his family and his country.
