I, in turn, disagree. The biggest problem with our transit is the idea that subways are the only acceptable form of it. Want to get from city to city? That's what regional transit is for. GO rail and bus services need to improved massively rather than just building the subway farther and farther out
I disagree. The biggest problem with our transit is the fractured thinking. We can and should expand subway capacity both within Toronto (like extending the Ontario Line west) and outside Toronto to surrounding dense suburbs to support regional transportation needs. The funding can be figured out.
No wonder Canadians HATE us!!!! ========================
Then pull out of the ICC. You can’t have it both ways. War criminals are allowed here or they aren’t. Tens of thousands of innocents killed and countless tortured and it turns out justice is “not worth the risk.” Coward shit.
If we scrambled jets, he would have contacted the US who have access to our airspace via NORAD and we’d have had a stand off between the CAF and USAF over a guy not worth putting our pilots lives in danger over. They ask— he says no… then what? It’s not worth the risk.

One’s hardly ever a single issue voter. But rightwing nutbar Toronto mayoralty candidate Brad Bradford has pledged to rip out bike lanes. That means one’s vote this fall goes automatically to Ms Chow. 🤷🏼😠🤷🏼 #topoli
My computer is not alive. My printer, OTOH, is not merely alive, it is possessed by a malevolent spirit.
if you don't think the computer is alive you just haven't used it enough. you just haven't done it right. you just haven't done enough research and read enough posts by other people who think the computer is alive. if you just used it more you would agree that it's alive
Cop: didn’t you see that stop sign back there? Me: oh no Do I have to prove I’m not a robot to you guys now too?

What the hell
Deep in Scotland's Pentland Firth, a grid scale tidal turbine at the MeyGen site just set a massive milestone: over 6.5 years of continuous operation without a single unplanned maintenance stop. Operating 40 meters underwater in one of the fastest tidal currents on Earth.
