(See: social housing from Feds to province to municipalities in Ontario)

I obviously agree that cities need to raise property taxes to adequately fund things, but I think the distinction is important that Feds/prov have much more robust tools like sales/income tax that brings in much more revenue, while they have also downloaded responsibilities to municipalities.

And you never get paid for overtime

But also you’re not allowed to work 80% of jobs and you’re only allowed low to mid income jobs

Nobody wants to work these days!

During big capital project openings, we still have to remember the chronic operational budget shortfalls transit agencies face.

Imagine if all the frustration & coverage over Eglinton’s delays/opening went into funding operations. That would make Eglinton *and* the rest of the transit system better

2 cyclists and a motorcyclist on bloor

But Br*d Br*dford told me they clear the bike lanes first... Bloor looks like it hasn't been cleared in 7+ days 😭😭

Bloor is one of the few streets I would actually prioritize clearing, there are enough winter cyclists (see pic 3) here to warrant it

Haha yes! I lived there for years, I swear they waft the Cinnabon smell down the terminal hallway.

Everytime I transfer there I’m SO tempted to get something but it’s lowkey expensive.

Crowded bus

The great Friday student pilgrimage to the only afternoon Kitchener GO train to Union

And yet the Ford government will take over multiple school boards on the premise that they have mismanaged their finances.

Anyone interesting in taking the Sunday morning Kitchener train to Toronto to check out the new LRT with us?

Reply or DM us!

During off-peak periods Monday to Friday, light rail vehicles will operate every 6 to 10 minutes. During Saturdays and Sundays, light rail vehicles will operate approximately every 7 to 8 minutes. During holidays, trains will operate every 7 to 13 minutes.

Correction on frequencies. Thank you to @notsmoothsteve.bsky.social for pointing it out.

Does anybody have any food or other recommendations along Eglinton I should check out when I do the ride along on Sunday?

But which city?

Entertaining to see New Brunswick explained for non Canadians

From the TTC Chair Dear TTC riders, Any time we expand transit in this city, it matters. People have waited a long time for Line 5, and I know there's real excitement - and real expectations - around this opening. After the Line 6 launch, I successfully passed a motion to strengthen transit signal priority because speed and reliability are what riders care about most. Those lessons are shaping how we're opening Line 5, improving Line 6 and our streetcars. Line 5 is faster by design. Nearly two-thirds of the line runs underground, which means fewer delays from traffic and signals and more consistent travel times. Opening in phases lets us do this the right way - apply what we've learned, watch how the system performs in real-world conditions, and make adjustments before full service. My focus as Chair is simple: start strong, keep improving, and deliver a line riders can rely on every day. As service builds, we'll keep sharing updates on performance, speed, and reliability - because riders deserve clear information and a system that keeps getting better. 7.4 Jamaal Myers TTC Board Chair Ward 23 Councillor FINCH Y Jamaal Myers - Ward 23 Councillor & TTC Board Chair JamaalMyers.com Councillor_Myers@toronto.ca
