A frequent train to Peterborough would frankly be awesome. GO is getting really incredible on the coverage side of things, now we just need better service and trains.

Fun Fact: In 2010 Metrolinx proposed a new service to Peterborough, bringing rail service to the east of the General Toronto Area. This proposal had the service travel along the Richmond Hill and Canadian Pacific line to Peterborough.

Climate action in 3 steps: 1. Reduce everything we can, as much as we can, first. 2. Offset the rest (which is impossible to do if we don't reduce everything we can first). 3. Build resilience to the impacts we can no longer avoid. Why? Because the only other choice is suffering.
