They're the exact same people who rolled out and monitor (generally favourably) the King pilot, which is not a TTC project, so it's hard to argue they're strictly pro-car and anti-streetcar.

Who Toronto Transportation Services? They didnt roll it out, it was City Planning that did. However, they do monitor the signals and they have to abide by the parameters of the pilot project.
In other words, they are being forced (either willingly or unwillingly) to make the signal timing as friendly as possible for streetcars.

I wouldn't necessarily call them pro-car either, just that they have a very narrow view of what people expect from traffic lights. For example along the St. Clair line, if there's a car waiting to turn left into a side street, the lights invariably first give traffic from the side street a green, even if no one was requesting it, just in case someone shows up at the last moment, sees the main street getting a yellow and charges into the intersection "knowing" they'll get a green first.

Yes when someone defecates in their pants its much more grown up and mature to call it shit instead of poop.

what do you mean? the signals were prioritizing buses?

They are currently testing the trains along the whole route, with drastically reduced frequencies of course, and I think @Reecemartin drove around and check out all the intersections where trains had gates and at regular intersections where signals stay green or change from red to green in prediction for them.
