I ran into Gord on the subway ~1 year after he left Twitter and he grabbed me by the shoulders, looked me in the eyes, and told me quitting had improved his mental health/life. This is a real story, I’m still on Twitter, and earlier this year I had high blood pressure issues.

"Bourgette’s situation is part of a broader dispute at 388 Roncesvalles Avenue, where tenants are at odds with the building’s owners—who also own and operate Bloom Health Clinic on the ground floor—over eviction notices and the future of the property." cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

Excited to announce that Renoviction and Resistance in the Capitalist City, by Cole Webber and Philip Zigman, comes out in June. The book looks at how and why landlords renovict tenants and how tenants have organized to fight back and keep their homes. btlbooks.com/book/renovicti…

Beating renoviction at the LTB on a technicality is a short-term reprieve—landlords can simply issue new eviction notices. Only confrontational tenant organizing that raises the social and financial costs of pursuing renoviction disciplines landlords lfpress.com/news/local-new…

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.”
