OTrain to Bluesfest and back today. Ran surprisingly well / lots of staff directing people onto trains running every 5 minutes.
This is how it's done! 👏 @octranspo.com

Pascal Siakam wins Eastern Conference Finals MVP. What a series, and playoff run, for him so far.

Not our beloved Fraser Street... My heart is broken. I feel so sick reading the horrific details of what people experienced at this evening's attack. This is a violent violation of a special safe place shared by so many, on a day to celebrate Lapu Lapu. Take care of each other.

wtf vancouver.
The ballot is dead simple, so it seems this is just a bad staffing decision.

Love seeing these floorplans and concept pics. Really helps to convince those on the fence of removing single-family zoning that having these types of housing options are viable for families of all sizes.

Did not expect to see Luka being a casualty of the impending trade war 😅
I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.
I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.
But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

The Elizabeth Line this year moved more people than the 18 lanes of the 401 freeway, the widest in North America.
Traffic is simply a geometry problem, and adding one more lane won't fix it.

(Pedestrian safety criticisms aside) It's no wonder traffic is getting worse in NA major cities: our choice of vehicles are taking up more and more space.
The best-selling motor vehicles in the US and UK for 2024 are both made by Ford, but that's where the similarity ends.

Need Toronto to straight up refuse to waste money and risk lives for this idiot's idea of good policy
NEW: Premier Doug Ford's bike lane removal law has now been passed by the Ontario legislature.
The government has been preparing to remove three lanes: University Ave. Bloor St. and Yonge St.
