I guess it's a good time to say that I'm always happy to talk to policy makers of any stripe to try to advance the interests of public transport, and better transport infrastructure writ large.

This stuff is not why transit costs so much. Lots of cities do this and more and pay far less.

Little wonder that the new Ontario Line subway project is costing billions too much. These construction hoarding fences explain why. Fancy custom printed Plexiglas sheets that probably cost tens of thousands at every construction site. This is outrageous @PrabSarkaria!

I'm not going to name names, and I'm guilty of this sometimes, but Canadians need to stop saying what can't be or won't be done and instead of doing things including fixing the systems that are preventing other things from being done.

Amazing food. A quick flight to NYC, Germany, and London. Geoffrey Hinton. With so much to offer, Toronto is fast becoming a leading AI hub, according to @CNN. We've been building here since 2019. True to this, not new to this 🇨🇦

All the new office space near front and Spadina is yet another reason to build a proper train station there that services several go corridors. Kind of like East harbor but with something actually there - tons of office, tons of homes, and the Skydome
