I like how Metrolinx’s job is to run and build transit well but they’re like “no, we don’t want to do that”

@RM_Transit Union should be a advocate for all parties, including the riders and explaining management policies to its members.

People sometimes ask why I don't tend to get involved in transit union affiliated advocacy, and the issue people comes down to this. Unfortunately on a recurring basis the unions advocate for stuff that's bad for riders and for transit. cp24.com/politics/queen…

The Montreal Expos are exiting the baseball space. During Q2 and Q3 2026, we will transition to acquiring high-performance GPU assets. This is all part of our long-term vision to become a fully integrated GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) and AI-native cloud solutions provider.

As Premier Doug Ford was asked about the OSAP changes, he thundered back, calling the Ontario Liberals a "bunch of amateurs" who would bankrupt a lemonade stand. Note: Under Ford, Ontario's debt will grow to half-a-trillion and the budget has yet to be balanced. #onpoli

@Tusharufo2 You are either an idiot or a bad person. All one has to do is look at how the free market works in practice to see that you are completely wrong

In a free market, I can’t sell bread at 100× the normal price. Competitors will undercut me, and even if I buy them out, new ones will keep entering. That cycle never ends. Predatory pricing fails because the moment I raise prices, customers leave. Cartels fail because members cheat and new entrants break in. The only reliable way to maintain a monopoly is through the state. By trading favors with politicians, I can use government power to block competitors under the guise of regulation, public safety, or national interest. In reality, those rules exist to protect cronies like me. This can only happen publicly when the government passes regulations, because regulations are the public face of cronyism. Thus contrary to what dumb socialists think, solution is to protest and ask removal of regulations not billionaires and capitalism itself.

Striking that the Liberals and Conservatives offer the same response to pain at the pump: siphon money out of the public purse instead of Big Oil’s profits. Oil companies are on track to make tens of billions in windfall profits from Trump’s illegal war in Iran. It’s their profiteering that’s driving up prices. It’s them who should pay. It’s time for price caps on gas to stop oil companies from price-gouging Canadians — and a windfall profits tax on war-time oil revenues, so the government can invest that money in the public interest. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Today, the NDP is calling on the Carney government to implement a national ban on surveillance pricing - before it becomes a predatory new normal in Canadian life. Canadians are already struggling with the untenable cost of living. Now, retailers are teaming up with Big Tech to squeeze people even more. It’s time to stop the practice dead in its tracks.

I wrote about algorithmic price-fixing for @TorontoStar: thestar.com/business/opini…. It's bad enough: automated collusion that's as ruthless as any old-style cartel. But surveillance pricing goes further, mining personal data to maximize profit extraction from each transaction. /3

This is insane. One of Ontario's best reporters @TinaYazdani was fired from @CityNewsTO and they won't say why. They also removed a couple of her stories that showed her challenging the Ford government's garbage.

Friendly reminder that the Ford government cut $1 billion from TTC subway maintenance in 2019, and that the federal government just cut $5 billion from public transit funding in Canada, money the TTC could have used to fix their state of good repair backlog.
TTC Media Relations 📰🚌🚋🚈@TTCNewsroom

Statement from #TTC CEO Mandeep S. Lali on this morning’s hydraulic fluid leak. “Dear Customers,
 For the second time this week, a work car operating during overnight maintenance on Line 2 experienced a hydraulic fluid leak, disrupting the start of subway service.
 This is unacceptable. The TTC must provide safe, reliable service from the beginning of every day, and this week we did not meet that standard. I apologize to our customers and take full accountability.
 Effective immediately, I have directed the suspension of the work car fleet, except in exceptional circumstances, pending a full review. That review will examine both incidents in detail, determine root causes, and include inspections across the entire fleet. Any affected vehicles will remain out of service until we are confident, they are safe and reliable to operate.
 Our focus is clear: prevent a recurrence.
 Multiple response teams were mobilized this morning to inspect and clean the affected area, and full Line 2 service resumed safely at approximately 7:20 a.m. Today’s response reflected the enhanced safety measures introduced following the first incident earlier this week. Those measures were necessary, but prevention must remain the standard.
 I want to thank our employees for their swift and professional response, and our customers for their patience.
 We will move with urgency, we will be transparent about the outcome of this review, and we will take the necessary actions to restore confidence. Toronto should be able to count on the TTC to deliver safe, reliable service from the start of every day.”
