@Afinetheorem @RM_Transit Not sure that any thinking is actually involved.

Need folks in charge in public transit who think of it as a key service rather than as a subsidy for the poor (he says, as the streetcar crawls at walking speed a half hour after previous one, at rush hour, despite a supposed 5 min schedule). Travel speed not counting wait: 4mph.

@RM_Transit Why is there no accountability for transportation in Toronto and nothing done to improve it? Everything is siloed and no deputy mayor or committee is responsible.

I increasingly feel trapped because Toronto and Ontario don't appear to care about providing good transit to their people at almost any level. So I'm asking you, what questions do you have about public transit that I could talk about? What are you curious about? I'll write that!

@lawndawgx @ItsmeKinowa @humantransit You should try to leave your bubble.

@ItsmeKinowa @humantransit Anyone that can afford a car will buy one. I’ve lived with and without a car and unless you live in manhattan it’s ALWAYS better to have a car.

There is no frequent public transit in this circle. Nothing better than every 30 min.

@ScubaGuyer @humantransit How?

@humantransit Exactly, hence why it’s one of the best areas to live

@vi_vi_ane @CP24 Do you really think that every soap is submitted for approval and carefully analyzed?

@CP24 Why was it approved to go out first place? Health Canada recalls something every other day

@UPexpress could you please provide some information about whether the service is running? The information is Union is terrible and your website is out of date.

@RM_Transit It’s a societal choice. Surface transit could be a lot faster. I’m not interested in my tax dollars going towards subways so that suburbanites can drive around alone in their SUVs a little faster.

The Finch LRT will force Toronto to reckon with two things: street based transit will *almost* never compete with cars (especially in the burbs) and that people really care about speed. My new piece in the Toronto Star highlights that and makes the case for subways and railways.

@NadimHossain @typesfast Exactly. Many (most?) Americans live with closed windows and either heating or AC year round.

@typesfast Agree. But not a fair test - europeans don’t have as much practice at setting ambient temperature (which develops ones judgment)

Fahrenheit is objectively better than Celsius. This can be easily demonstrated by taking a group of people mixed between Americans and Europeans and asking them to estimate the ambient temperate. Fahrenheit users are always more accurate in this exercise. Try it!

@JoshDehaas And the mayor of Montreal is famously left-wing.

Just got home from Montreal. Walked all around downtown, and, you know what? Didn’t see encampments in every park and square. Didn’t see garbage overflowing from every can. Didn’t see empty storefronts at the base of every condo building. Toronto, we need to clean out city hall.

@BradMBradford It’s funny how right-wingers have so little self awareness that they use “common sense” for their opinion or call anything they don’t like “a waste of money”. What about all the money we waste on roads and cars? You’re completely silent on that, aren’t you.

I wonder if Mayor Chow regrets spending so much political capital on this nonsense? What a waste of time and money. Another useless distraction from fixing the real issues that seem to elude the mayor’s attention. x.com/rpoconnor/stat…

@ChristianHeiens What about minding your business? You have a democracy on fire.

A lot of Americans have no idea what's going on up in Canada, but a few months ago, the Supreme Court ruled that a huge swath of Vancouver's suburbs actually belongs to an indian tribe. These Aboriginal Land Claims are now going to explode across the country. The whole thing is quickly becoming a massive grift. For example, another indian tribe has a lawsuit going on where they claim title over literally half of the entire province of New Brunswick. Canada is allowing itself to be broken apart via legal and administrative implosion.

@BoswellDoug Ah, the complex relationship between the right and facts. cbc.ca/news2/interact…

@brianrmitchell4 @TorontoStar It’s you comment I had a to read a few times. How can one be against convenience stores? Are you for real? I’ll never understand grumpy old white Anglo men.

@TorontoStar Seriously? How pray tell will this end well….

@fahdananta 1. Why? 2. Do you know anything about the topic? 3. No.

Streetcars are the worst form of transit

@cselley European train nerds

The Toronto-New York train now takes 14 hours and costs >251 Canadian dollars one-way. Who is using this service?!

@SarahFischer__ Sure, but every government in Canada has been “investing” for years. The Harper government, the Ford government, the Smith government, they are all “investing”. Poilievre or any future conservative government would be no different.

As a former banker and self proclaimed economic expert, Carney sure is getting the basics wrong. When the government spends, it’s still spending even if he calls it “investing.” Saying the two are different means he either doesn’t know what he’s talking about, or worse, he’s trying to trick Canadians.

@RM_Transit But Very Safe and without interfering with The Cars.

Went up to Finch Avenue and I think there’s a pretty good chance that the new light rail is actually slower than the buses

@Stevebunch88558 @donnelly_b Explain.

@donnelly_b That's the agenda of activist city planners

Harsh truth: To solve Toronto’s traffic congestion problem, you’re going to have to drive less.

@_eternalplus @donnelly_b What a dumb analogy. You win an award.

@donnelly_b To solve Toronto's hunger problem, you're going to have to eat less.

@Stevebunch88558 @donnelly_b Great. Stay in Oshawa.

@donnelly_b A better idea is to not visit Toronto and dont spend your money there until they fire the net zero activists🤷
