The tip of a huge and stupid iceberg. Metrolinks are virtually incapable of communicating to any new user.

Opinion | I thought taking the GO train to Toronto would be easy. These are all the reasons I was wrong — Toronto Star
Why, when the GTA is clogged with cars and more and more of us want to stop driving into Toronto, do they make it so difficult for people unfamiliar with GO train procedures to get information?

Thank you globe and mail editorial board. Street parking is crippling the city and with the Provence not letting bike lanes replace car lanes, removing street parking is the only option left.

They got one right, remove on street parking. But more of the same bike lane removal. Sad.

Opinion | In the face of Trump’s tariff threats, Canada can emerge stronger than ever. Here’s the plan — Toronto Star

The new iPods “conversation awareness” is making me realize just how much I talk to myself.
All the time, apparently. So hard not to do!

Today, November 29, marks the UN International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, so I offer this House, and all Canadians committed to justice and peace, the following reflection: “Every bombed village is my hometown”,
Stop the genocide.
Long live Palestine.
Long live Gaza.

Hello Bluesky. I’m I allowed to gripe about Metrolinks here?
Here’s their notice about closing a portion of the railpath. Was supposed to be completed in “about 10” weeks. Should have been done September 16th. Now we’re on week 18 heading into week 19.
Will there be any accountability?
