There was a TTC staff person just standing at the station exit wishing everyone a good morning. Sir, I’m charmed.
I believe, from the balls of my feet to the top of my head, that this result is entirely due to the presence of unhoused and/or people in crisis on the subway and the way in which this relatively small problem has been ginned up by Toronto haters (one of which has the temerity to want to lead us).

Sometimes your boss is like “quick tell me a fun fact about Lacrosse!” and so you just go off about the Haudenosaunee’s ongoing planned exclusion from the LA 2028 Olympics and your boss just turns to you and says “I need something I can say to a youth camp.” Oh, uh — “teamwork!”
Sometimes the key to street photography is actually never bringing the camera up to your face.
The fact Doug Ford is willing to sabotage High Speed Rail because the Feds won’t give him his island airport proves he never cared about transportation, connectivity, or economic development. So what does he really want, and on whose behalf?
Why exactly is this airport valuable? How exactly does it contribute to the local economy while carrying 4% of passengers? No one can ever say. It’s vibes upon vibes. The airport itself can’t even cook up a plausible economic impact statement. www.thestar.com/business/tor...

Very niche observation: men on gay dating apps from other countries expressly requesting voice notes because they find the Canadian accent sexy. Just me? 🫠
Well, well, well. Look what was hiding under a giant billboard for a few decades.
