No, you may like the transit fare parts, but it’s yet another bad omnibus bill.
Let them bring it forward separately, and after restructuring Metrolinx’s governance to have representatives of local transit agencies, rather than taking direct secret orders from cabinet.

No, the bill says that “transit systems that are designated in relation to that zone must apportion fares among the other systems designated in relation to that zone”, which allows geographic zones that cover multiple municipalities and transfer of revenue raised from TTC fares to YRT.

I still say put LRTs back into the RT alignment and extend it northeast to Malvern via Progress, Centennial College and the hydro corridor.

What about fare increases in ridings held by opposition MPPs, to subsidize fares in ridings held by government MPPs?

Has he considered donning an orange jumpsuit and pulling an Undercover Boss?
Maybe releasing his Greenbelt emails and call logs to make it believable?

What a wish-washy stance.
What we need is a political party that’s both non-partisan and apolitical!

Likely also a prelude to downloading more of the costs of provincial services onto the property tax bill.
It’s easy to imagine Ford’s appointees deciding their Regions really want to foot the bill for GO train operations, 400-series highway maintenance and health care.

It makes sense if it’s he answering in relation to corporate power, as 100 years ago is leading up to FDR and the New Deal. But yeah, definitely don’t want to count what Southern Democrats were standing for back then.

Why did Canadians say they want to join the EU?
Because this is more in line with our values than Carney’s plans to build more pipelines, cut environmental protection laws and give tax breaks to oil & gas.

Oh no. This is one of those things that you can’t unsee, isn’t it?

I’ll agree that Carney is spending more on Canada’s military.
But as far as I can tell, that’s being paid for through frozen or reduced funding for social programs.
His relationship with our First Nations seems the same.
Harper also cut the HST and introduced many ill-conceived tax credits.

He’s more charming, no question, but can you point at a single thing he’s done that’s different from what Harper would have done?
The only two I see are that he started a public housing agency (pro) and is more solicitous of Bell/Rogers and US tech/media companies (con).

In what way?

Carney’s made near-identical cuts to federal departments as Harper did. His criminal reforms are Harper’s. He passed a law that allows cabinet to exempt industrial projects from environmental regulations.

He’s a bit better on public housing, and worse on telecom/media monopolies.

And we currently have Carney, whose policies are indistinguishable from Harper’s on almost every count.

That would be a stronger argument if there wasn’t abundant land that isn’t sandwiched between the Ontario Food Terminal, a sewage treatment plant and a freeway.
Why shouldn’t that housing go in the yellowbelt in that area, instead of where it might shut down the OFT?

They need to understand that when someone is flooding the zone with shit, the most effective move is to honestly state that it is all shit, that it is all pouring out of the same guy, that he thinks people should thank him for the aroma, and that the only way to avoid more shit is to toss him out.

That would work for the UK and Norway, but is a pretty obvious non-starter for Canadian participation. We need to make changes to ensure our military isn’t reliant on any US systems, companies or agencies. But Canada in a defense pact that doesn’t include the US is a Cuban Missile Crisis scenario.

Why isn’t including such a section in the amendment itself equally as problematic? It’s inconsistent with the only two modes of ratification Congress is authorized to propose, so wouldn’t they need to first separately amend the amending formula itself to allow a third mode of ratification?

Yep. And I say that as someone who thinks that filtering is actually a real and useful effect.
But it only works when you aren’t already in a crisis and when newer units are of equal or greater quality than existing units.

So removing stops won’t buy us quicker trips, without first solving the TTC’s fundamental signal priority and route management problems.

I know people will use this to argue for wider-spaced stops, but I see a different issue:
TTC & Melbourne stop spacing is comparable, but Melbourne’s streetcars move 50%+ faster.
Every other system shows a positive correlation between stop spacing and speed, even Melbourne with its TTC-like spacing.

Don’t forget spinning off any profitable parts into an arms-length private company (Purolator) to further decrease the public services’ financial viability.

Two identical pictures of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. The first has text: "Shares feel good zoom call with Canadian astronaut as public relations exercise." The second has different text: "Cut's funding for Canadian Space Agency by 32.6%"

A lot of Canucks feel pride at a Canadian astronaut on a moon mission. The Carney government is milking this opportunity to associate itself with those good feelings while cutting nearly a third of all funding for Canada's space agency.
