I’m not impressed with the #ttc’s new Line 6 Finch LRT.
Last Wednesday, the trip from Humber College station to Finch West on the 36 Finch bus took 42-minutes in traffic.
Today, the same trip on the new LRT took 55-minutes on a dedicated right of way.
Why is this slower than the bus?

So unlike the rest of the TTC's fleet of light rail, the Finch line has tap on tap off machines on the platforms but nowhere on the train itself???
They'e set up people to inadvertently forget cuz decades of habit and put them at the mercy of fare enforcement agents who have a *history*.

Terribly stupid idea that will satisfy faux-populist urges to dunk on public servants while simultaneously making the lives of public servants and the service itself so much worse.
Goofy stuff.

Falling for anti-migrant racism doesn't protect workers, it entrenches capitalism by making workers more vulnerable & exploitable! Our enemy arrives in limousine, not someone on a boat fleeing colonial devastation.
Being pro-migrant is central to our collective fight against fascism!

Cutting 40,000 jobs would be more than just "regrettable": it's bad policy that will hurt workers, their families, and everyone who relies on public services. The budget has passed, it’s packed with austerity measures that hit people hard. We will fight back.

The purpose of austerity budgets is always to transfer public wealth into private hands. And in a country like Canada that always means a transfer to the same handful of domestic oligarchs and resource extraction multinationals.

At the end of the day I'm not sure how much difference it makes. But it is striking to put out a budget that axes a luxury tax on yachts and adds a co-pay for refugee claimants accessing drugs and dental care.

Ending the emissions cap, cutting tens of thousands of public sector jobs, but funding AI with $925 million. This is a joke

Today’s Halloween… but the real horror is Carney’s cuts to public services. After everything we’ve been through since COVID-19, our public services are stretched to the limit. Cutting support for families, veterans, and seniors now isn’t “fiscal responsibility” — it’s reckless.

They hanged the people who got us the 8-hour workday.
If people actually understood how willing our government is to go to war with its own people simply for demanding equal rights, I think a lot more of us would be ready for war.

If only @toronto.ca would prioritize accelerating work on #TTC and #BikeTO projects as they have done with the Gardiner. Time to get their priorities straight! #TOpoli
Great news – following the weekend closure, the Gardiner Expressway has reopened with three lanes in both directions from Dufferin to Strachan. 🎉

Ironically, what would make intersections the safest...
"Drivers must dismount the vehicle and push it through the intersection."
But for some reason, that's not a requirement.

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada.
"Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.
