The elephant in the room: regional transit service cuts = the worst congestion imaginable the region.
Underfunding existing transit operations is pushing regional commuters back into their cars.
Everyone talks about our βmissingβ regional transportation infrastructure. But service cuts are making the transit system we already have less usable. We need higher service levels/better frequency and operations as much as we need more lines.
Thereβs a pattern here: the Province underfunds the operations of health care, schools and transit, while hunting around for a shiny new thing to spend our money on, like the Ontario Place parking structure and spa, a new (and completely unnecessary) location for the Science Centre and Highway 413.
Costs go up. Quality of life declines.
We are on a clear trajectory here - itβs time to #PayAttentionOntario

Great, but Trump has created a much bigger problem. He has destroyed the credibility of the United States. He has demonstrated that the shelf-life of any agreement with the US, is somewhere between 10 minutes, and the end of the current presidential term. How will that be fixed?

Here's my problem...the rest of us don't have Wab Kinew. I have zero doubt he is going to take this money from the feds & ensure that he & Mayors end homelessness in his province as this money was intended to do
I can't say the same of any other Premier in the country right now

Get your shit together, Ontario voters and opposition parties.
Fuck.
I'm gonna need Ontario to lock in exactly like this for the next provincial election #He cannot stay in office any longer

Canadians are watching our elections the way you watch your drunk neighbor attempt to launch fireworks from his garage.

If you can separate Christians from the KKK, you can separate Muslims from Al Qaeda and you can separate Judaism from Zionism.
Don't be a fucking idiot.

Get out and vote.
The slimiest people in Toronto want this guy to win.
Not only are the worst people in the world desperate to shove BradBrad down your throat until you gag, in the final days they are going to try to convince you he's already won.
That's voter suppression, and it has helped install Ford three times.

How many suicides?
How many broken families?
How many job losses?
How much mental distress?
How much depression?
How many bankruptcies?
Before we acknowledge that legalizing online gambling was a terrible mistake?

What bothers you about Toronto: ER waits, homelessness, crowded classrooms, empty storefronts, is because of Doug Ford not Olivia Chow

We have Love Island. We have Survivor. We have The Bachelor.
Now please make a show where you put a billionaire CEO in a regular apartment, give them their lowest-paid employeeβs paycheck, and tell them it has to last 30 days.
Iβd watch every episode.

Just maybe:
-$2.2 billion on an Austrian spa was a bad idea
-$1 billion on a new Science Centre was a bad idea
-$1.4 billion on early alcohol sales was a bad idea
-$3.2 billion on pre-election bribe cheques was a bad idea
-MPPs Bethlenfalvy and Surma are out of touch

The government doesn't need the money, and it casts deserved doubt on Carney's overall "build Canada" narrative. Why then would he do it? Cuz there are investment bankers whispering in his ear who would make hundreds of millions from floating the deals. /6

I donβt see anyone talking about privatizing VIA Rail. Itβs terribly run. It has appalling service. Nowhere to go but up. But people looking for government assets arenβt interested in turning badly-run Crown corps around. They want sure winners. Essential infrastructure.
