1) build good transit
2) open it in years not decades, and
3) operate it so it’s fast and reliable

Great write-up on the state of transit in the region. There really is potential here, if only anyone gave a shit.
And yeah the fare situation is a real pain. Can we just extend the GO system or Presto province-wide already

Missing connections in Windsor-Essex
Windsor, Ontario's history is shaped by transportation. Sadly, its local and regional transit services are neglected, despite the needs of a a busy city-region.

Pedestrian struck by motorist on Parkside a block from the speed camera that vigilantes kept tearing down that caused ford to remove them from all Ontario. Drive as you wish Ontario. Nobody matters. This is what you voted for.

A bad day for Canada, and therefore the world.
Ontario (population 16 million, 40% of the country) has passed new legislation prohibiting bike lanes that take a lane from cars.
An escalation from Bill 212, which required municipalities to get approval.

i think it's pretty clear at this point that trump cannot be dissuaded from the idea that asylum simply means that these are insane people from other countries entering ours
The thing about unchecked power is it often makes grave mistakes. One of the reason Putin decided on the folly of war with Ukraine was the lack of those willing to tell him he was making a grave error. I fear @realDonaldTrump will stumble into a war, costing troop’s their lives.

Surprised this didn't happen before/right after the election honestly. Wonder who they're gonna drop into University-Rosedale, that's gonna be one hotly contested nomination

Unquestionably the most dangerous and corrupt attack on the independence of US economic data in American history. Trump is firing the head of the BLS, a longtime civil servant confirmed 86-8 by the Senate, simply because the job numbers came in below his expectations today
