Need our local transit to hang on and find some steady funding then learn from these expansions. If another North American city can do it there should be lots of good stuff to build off of.
IMPORTANT: “I boarded Montreal’s brand-new light metro line for its first voyage. From the front of the driverless train, the crowd got a privileged view…The journey was not just a tour of the REM’s 14 new stations, however—it was a preview of the most ambitious transit expansion in North America.”

Canada has forgotten how to build fast, cheap transit. A new megaproject has the fix.

Past is prologue.
In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.
And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.
This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.

Today in iconic Canada: the Maple Leaf.
Truly a unique flag, easily recognizable, and to me, looks "happy." The flag reflects our land and values, founded on peace, not war.
It became our official flag in 1965, introduced by Nobel Prize-winning PM, Lester B. Pearson.

This is what Danielle Smith is priming Alberta for. This. And, incredibly, she's probably going to use our driver's licenses as the portal. But, Canadians have no idea how hard a for profit healthcare system sucks. So much out of pocket even when you have insurance. #ableg #cdnpoli
My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan.
I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month.
And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.
