When we learned last year that Bessent got in a shoving match with Elon Musk in the White House, I'm sure some people said "Huh, maybe he's an okay guy" but in actuality Bessent is a smug asshole, and he just happened to get in a fight with another smug asshole
Bessent: "I'd encourage Carney to do what he thinks is best for Canadians, not his own virtue signaling. We do have a USMCA negotiation coming up. He rose to power on an anti-American, anti-Trump message. That's not a great place to be when you're negotiating w/ an economy multiples larger than you"

I think that Toronto streetcars should be permitted to ram parked cars that are blocking the tracks. In fact, I they should have devices affixed to the front to better facilitate this.

It's as if Metrolinx is managing the consultation process.
Given that Dougie also ignored his own blue-ribbon panel on post-secondary education, this is hardly surprising. I hope the 401 tunnel feasibility study doesn't come in until he's gone because he'll ignore that, too.

Ontario received 14,233 comments on its plan to drop protections on a portion of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park, transferring management to the municipality. The plan is moving ahead unchanged, despite 98 per cent of those comments being in opposition. thenarwhal.ca/wasaga-beach...

Eglinton Crosstown LRT (Line 5) update: the vehicles are running again today. They ran most of the day Sunday during the big storm, but not in the evening, and didn't run yesterday.

The chicane on westbound Eglinton Avenue at the east end of the Wynford Drive LRT stop has been plowed slightly less than two lanes wide. I hate to think what the chicanes at the CPKC bridge near Leslie look like.

The roof of the Ontario Science Centre does not appear to have collapsed under a giant dump of snow, despite Dougie having led us to believe trust even a fly landing on our it would surely bring the whole thing crashing down. I can't believe he didn't tell us the truth 😠

Meanwhile in Toronto, the new Finch West LRT (Line 6) is shut down AGAIN! What a fucking embarrassment for this city, Metrolinx, and the consortium that built that line! #TTC #TOpoli
Transit update from Waterloo:
ION LRT (Route 301) operating normally during these winter conditions.
Trains are running every 10 minutes today (as they have been throughout the winter). Switch heaters are working and signal priority in full effect.
Photo from the last snow day!
Enjoy the snow!

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.
