I've almost never met someone who hated Toronto as a tourist. Even from places like Paris. There's something to be said for our messy, yet vital, urbanism.

He also eliminated all provincial funding for transit operations, making us the jurisdiction with the highest fare-box recovery in the Western world—further fueling the transit death spiral.

I was on the 37 Islington bus the other day and an older gent was talking to his friend behind me. This might be a bad anecdote, but his words were that he "goes to Woodbine three times a week to gamble and has never seen the casino more deserted that it has been in 2025"

Ironically, I remember someone at Metrolinx once stating that more weather cover wasn't particularly necessary due to the frequency and reliability of what they were building. In other words, nobody would be waiting more than a few minutes.

It's complicated, but I had to remove all my original posts and hosting of it due to a legitimate threat of being sued. Having said that, it was already disappering on various platforms for many, partiuclarly in the U.S.

I don’t believe Global aired it. My understanding is that they received the original package earlier—likely because NFL football frequently delays the CBS broadcast. However, someone at Global appears to have uploaded that original package, including the spiked piece, to the app today. My guess...

It's also been suggested to cross the eastern gap.

Totally. I’ve seen this used as the standard in Europe. First, it shortens dwell times when no one is boarding or alighting. Second, it keeps the vehicle’s climate far better controlled.
