ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.” it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

First ever piece in the Toronto Star on the Brampton LRT tunnel, needed to preserve the "historic" downtown - it's something that does not make sense, which tracks with our transit policy much of the time. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
Doug Ford and his tunnel obsession are about to ruin a rare GTA transit success story
Brampton's new LRT is now set to be buried, despite the fact that other buried LRT lines are much-delayed and significantly over budget.

Creating a YouTube channel is definitely my biggest achievement so far, but all good things have to come to an end. It's been an absolute pleasure getting to know people in public transit, and I'm really excited to see what the future holds. Please check this out: youtu.be/JDxa9F0NSTg?...
