Ion: An Ontario LRT that somehow works
With proper signal priority, reliable service, and a flexible route, Waterloo Region's LRT is a good example of a successful transit service and planning tool. Though it has a few issues - including some slow sections and a restrictive operating contract -…

I can't tell if the NDP voters here are more patriotic or more out to lunch. Either way, total failure of actual left wing analysis among NDP voters is on full display.
“Would you lay down your life for your country” becomes a surprisingly partisan question when it’s asked as a specific plausible instance of needing to lay down your life for your country

An extra third thing that bothers me is that Metrolinx is an amorphous entity that people blame for everything and it acts as a beating dummy that shields the MTO, Ministry of Transportation of Ontario from blame, which is more associated with the political government at the time.

We often talk about how P3s are good because it offloads risk onto the private sector (we've now learned this doesn't happen, the public just gets sued or blamed every time there is a delay/issue).
But we don't talk about how it offloads blame onto the public agency/gov. (2/2)

I think one of the big issues about P3s (Public-Private Partnerships) that we don't talk about is how blame is shifted onto public agencies for failures of the private sector.

The reports of violence, arbitrary arrests, and intimidation tactics by the Iranian regime against its own people are profoundly concerning. Canada strongly condemns the killing of protesters, and urges Iran to allow for freedom of expression and peaceful assembly without fear of reprisal.

Sorry, but triumphant claims about autonomous vehicle safety are wildly exaggerated.
It's an open question whether today’s self-driving cars are any safer than those driven by humans.
And if reducing crashes is the goal, that isn’t even the right question.

In this piece from our latest issue, @therewasnosound.bsky.social unpacks how the ‘independence’ platforms like Substack offer is a individualized survival strategy and business model that ultimately isolates workers and undermines worker power.
