@dittopoop @RM_Transit What is this a solution to? What problem is this actually addressing?
English
I think its pretty clear that banning Waymo is not the best path forward for Toronto
English
@jen_keesmaat @donnelly_b They’ll install AI traffic lights, but not give signal priority to all street cars?
English
News flash: fewer cars is the only way to ease gridlock.
Technology won’t save us. It’s a physics problem. Too many cars, not enough space.
Until the City becomes serious about being an urban place that promotes walking, cycling, and transit as first choices for getting around, this mess will not be resolved.
It’s a shame to see the city so lost when it comes to a vision of a livable, urban future. London figured it out, Paris figured it out, Montreal is figuring it out. But Toronto is regressing, prioritizing moving cars as the key to mobility. It’s both sad and futile.
Congestion Pricing could solve this problem overnight.

@CoopTory You don’t understand! Allowing China to sell a few thousand cars means we’re now a vassal state!
English
China will never make up 75% of our trade, have control of our airspace, speak the same language as us, and share a border with us.
We aren’t replacing reliance, we are strategically diversifying. It makes us less vulnerable to any one threat.

On Canada embracing China: "The whole point of reducing our reliance on the U.S. was to maintain self-respect and sovereignty. "But there are worrying signs that we are replacing one hegemon with another — and this one has long-term goals that are antithetical to Canada’s national security."

@SpaceWalkerReal @CoopTory It’s funny how the only spending projects they’ll support are ones that help the oil and gas industry, but don’t you dare tax the industry.
English
The only consistently "principled" stance the CPC has ever taken across multiple leaders is on issues regarding oil.
You could call them the Oil Party of Canada and it would be more accurate.
Pierre Poilievre@PierrePoilievre
Mr. Prime Minister—you are getting up to $9 billion in windfall revenues from high oil prices. That money does not belong to you. Give it back. Stop taxing gas. Save families $1200 at the pumps this year.

@truckdriverpleb @TheRealKeean Is this really the position you want to take?

@CoopTory Banning floor crossing makes no sense because no one would argue to disallow MPs to not vote with their party. Floor crossing is essentially the most extreme version of not voting the party line.
English
I support floor crossing.
MPs are independent trustees who have a duty to their constituents to exercise their judgement.
They do not exist to exercise blind party loyalty.
* W. Brett Wilson *@WBrettWilson
Floor crossing to me is immoral & unethical. You ran for a Party. You were elected to represent a party. And your constituents. You can’t just switch parties as you appear to have been bribed. Step down. Run again. Please vote your thoughts as to crossing the floor and RT

@Sweenis0 @MelissaLantsman None is suggesting we don’t invade Jamaica so that must be happening any day now!
English
@Sweenis0 @MelissaLantsman Which Liberal politician is suggesting Canada joins the EU?
English
@MelissaLantsman What would be wrong with simply being Canada?
What does the EU have that the Liberals think we need?

@JayGenXer His dad came out as gay and then he voted against legalizing gay marriage. Hardly a touching personal anecdote.
English
Hey Canadians 🇨🇦
One thing that keeps coming up after Pierre Poilievre’s Diary of a CEO interview is his personal story — adopted as a baby, raised by school teachers in a humble middle-class home, his father later came out as gay, and he married Anaida, who came to Canada as a refugee from Venezuela.
Yet a lot of people seem to really dislike him… while praising Justin Trudeau (raised with every advantage as the son of a former Prime Minister) and Mark Carney (the wealthy former banker).
How did so many in Canada end up feeling that way?
What do you think drives that difference in how people see them?
Drop your honest thoughts below 👇 I’m reading every comment.

@stephen_taylor If we can effectively build things we need to figure out how to. The answer isn’t simply to not build things. My issue with the opposition is that they don’t actually offer alternative solutions, they just engage in grievance-based politics and culture wars.
English
I am against “high-speed rail” because it’ll unfold slower and more expensively than it has in California (which it hasn’t)
Mark Marissen@marissenmark
Seems like most people against high speed rail in Canada assume that everyone will ride it for free. And they also appear to assume that there will be no economic or environmental spinoff. We never hear them complain about building more highways or bridges.
English
@Cappy_Nate Striving to build better is clearly the answer.
Whining about pipelines and Alberta separatism isn’t.
English
High Speed Rail Costs By Country (excl tunnels):
🇨🇳 $25m/km
🇸🇦 $30m/km
🇪🇸 $30m/km
🇫🇷 $35m/km
🇪🇺 $40m/km
🇰🇷 $40m/km
🇯🇵 $50m/km
🇨🇦 $160m/km
At similar costs to every other country, this costs $25B.
Not $90B.
English
@Michaelskywal @CompletedStreet If fewer people drove because of viable public transit alternatives, imagine how much more freight the highways could move.
English
@CompletedStreet Yeah, but how many tons of freight did the Elizabeth line move?
Highways don’t just carry people they are designed for flexibility and carrying multiple things.
English
Fun fact: The new Elizabeth line in London moved more people in 2025 than Highway 401, the busiest freeway in North America.
English
@TaeSpencerTanzi @Charles_string_ Imagine how much better our roads would be… man… if there was a company actually accountable for it or else their reputation is on the line.
English
No offense to those down south but the Americanization of the Conservative Party of Canada has been devastating. It's like Poilievre can't imagine any use for high speed rail.
John A MacDonald would probably personally kick Pierre out of the country if he was alive to see this.
Pierre Poilievre@PierrePoilievre
Save $90 billion. Protect private property. Stop the Liberal Alto boondoggle: conservative.ca/cpc/halt-the-n…
English
The Liberals can find $90bn for high-speed rail but couldn’t build a single human pipeline in a decade? This country man.

@estrad_i @KlaeTaurus @CanadianPolling Will you consistently apply that position to pipelines? Doubt it.
English
@GuberEatz @KlaeTaurus @CanadianPolling 401 is used by all Canadians including transportation of goods across the country by businesses
a high speed train between Ontario and Quebec is basically just for the residents living there
English
Coming out against building new national infrastructure is a baffling political decision to say the least
English
@KlaeTaurus @CanadianPolling Now apply that same thinking to HSR.
English
@GuberEatz @CanadianPolling When accounting for all the commerce it supports, yes.
English
@KlaeTaurus @CanadianPolling Does the 401 pay for itself? I’ve never paid a single toll.
