Since we’re talking about #RapidTO, City staff have confirmed the following numbers:
On the Dufferin corridor:
40,000 ride transit per day
Only 20,000 cars take the corridor per day (the average car holds around 1.1 - 1.5 people per vehicle, depending on the time of day).

Here is my latest reflection.
The attack on President Zelenskyy shattered the last of our wishful thinking.
Many countries hoped that if they fawned over him, he would pick on someone else.
Now we know: that we either stand up or get dragged into the abyss.

if you're voting strategically for the ontario election to get more progressive seats (green/ndp/liberal), use votewell.
smartvoting leans towards liberal recommendations.
even in these tight toronto races with no strategic vote (cons won't win), they're still telling people to vote liberal 🤨
