@E_R_Sepulveda They’re opting out of the TTC because it’s full of crack heads and anti social behaviour.
English

Toronto's wealthy are opting out of the TTC, increasingly taking Uber and Lyft—and leaving a fiscal hole in the public system the rest of us depend on.
In transportation, we're now seeing the same high-income flight that we've already seen in health and education. The rich exit. The public system suffers fiscally—and, because of the service cuts that follow, politically too.
Progressive taxation has always been the answer: tax the private luxury good to fund the public good.
New York figured this out in 2018. They capped ride-hailing vehicles and slapped a $2.75/trip levy on every Uber and Lyft ride. That single policy now generates more than $300 million a year—plowed directly into the transit system used by working-class New Yorkers.
Toronto has done nothing. No cap. No levy. No accountability. Just 80,000 licensed ride-hailing drivers—more per capita than NYC—circling a city whose transit system still sits at only 82% of pre-pandemic ridership.
The math isn't complicated: ride-hailing mostly used by the wealthy is cannibalizing the TTC. A per-trip levy on every ride should fund the public transit those trips displace.
My latest in @jacobin in the reply.

@freedommistog @DropSiteNews CNBC international also had a countdown clock for this. Are they also genocidal fucks?

@ConstanceSpryy @DropSiteNews @halalflow CNBC international also had a countdown clock for this. Are they also Nazis?

@DropSiteNews @halalflow They are Nazis. And if you’re just realizing they are maxis is because you were living under a rock when they gleefully and proudly conducted a genocide in front of the world.

@DropSiteNews Sick people. Imagine a bunch of fascists counting down the hours for them to nuke 🇮🇱. Then there would be outrage, but these animals get away with it

@davidhogg111 Why does 1 in 5 having it as a top 3 issue get a “wow”? How does this compare to other issues?
English


@xelan_gta It’s because retired people are in the lowest 20% of income, but their wealth increase is totally driven by housing appreciation. Incredibly misleading graph. RBC should have 2019 wealth percentiles on the x-axis, not income percentiles. Greedy boomers strike again.

Surprising stat🤔: Lowest income households in 🇨🇦 experienced the largest wealth gains between 2019 and 2024.

@hsnorth_ Why is he sucking up to Trump? Canada does not thank him.
English

Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen to president Trump: “I just want to thank you on behalf of Canada.
“The space leadership you spoke of from America is truly is extraordinary. I've said this many times before. A nation that leads like that, and then crates and sets big goals for humanity that brings other countries along with it, is truly incredible.
“And I know that's a very intentional, not a necessary decision, intentional decision to lead by example and to allow other countries, like Canada, to share our gifts, and help you achieve these mutually beneficial goals, like establishing a presence on the moon, and eventually going to Mars. And Canadians are so proud to be a part of this program.
English

@Astro_Jeremy Why did you say to Trump “I want to thank you on behalf of Canada”? No, Canadians aren’t thanking Trump. Stay in Florida you traitor.

@TheFourthRep @martinsjoh29221 @keleliensprstar Good to know. So if there’s a community of white people with English, Irish, and Scottish descent, then that also accounts as multicultural.
English

@martinsjoh29221 @keleliensprstar I didn’t know South Asia is a monoculture! Lol
English

Idk where ppl get this idea that Mississauga and Brampton aren't multicultural
T.D. Leaker@TdLeaker
Went to Toronto today for the first time in a decade. Was actually surprised to see how actually multicultural it is. I was expecting a Mississauga or Brampton like monoculture.

@SteveSaretsky Your graph shows rents going up some after February 2025, which is less than 17 months ago.

The Sens have the 8th best chance to win the cup
No I’m not lying

Poor Rich@RichBeingRich
@SensBuzz @NHL_Rosters how are the Sens this year? they're hard to see from up here in 2nd place in the division

@Nooserac @MrTRaynard They (and most other models) are beating the betting odds this season. Evolving hockey is the best of the big websites.

English

@MrTRaynard MoneyPuck is unreliable and very consistently off market. Look at betting odds / other models for more precise odds
English

Via MoneyPuck, here are the chances for each Eastern team of winning the Stanley Cup:
#CarolinaCulture: 12.3%
#GoBolts: 12.1%
#LetsGoPens: 5.3%
#GoSensGo: 5.0%
#LGRW: 3.6%
#GoHabsGo: 2.9%
#Sabrehood: 2.7%
#Isles: 1.9%
#NHLBruins: 1.9%
#ALLCAPS: 1.7%
#CBJ: 1.5%
#LetsGoFlyers: 0.4%

@TheresaLubowitz Canada had universal basic income during covid. What we got was massive inflation.
English

Our governments are completely unprepared for what's coming. Too bad Ontario's Basic Income Pilot was scrapped eight years ago.

@Whyteandharry93 @Twoline_pass @lutherabel1 I'm guessing you live within 3 hours of Vancouver?
Otherwise what I am saying would not be anything new to you.

Canadian men are odd creatures. They look like your MAGA buddies who work at the paper mill and then say something that wouldn't be out of place on the campus of UW-Madison.

Losing the gold medal game broke the Canadian media. Wow.

@ContactRyanWall @lutherabel1 The guy literally has a wife and kid. American men are mostly trans. See, I can make up stuff too.

@Colin_d_m Mean income is much higher in the US, but wealth is lower. Mainly because Americans spend all their money on health care and disposable crap.

@JayHarnett @DailyHiveVan To think people don’t like it when you threaten to invade their country.

@DailyHiveVan I have to agree with Frank on this one. It’s getting embarrassing listening to the TDS in Canada.
