NEW: Ontario was already set to miss its 2030 climate targets, but the AG has found that prediction was based on overly ambitious modelling, which failed to take into account a series of car-friendly policies.
Could now miss it by more. #OnPoli

Honestly, IO and Metrolinx alone could use some cut to the bloat of the ridiculous amount of VP's and other executive level positions they have. Constant hiring of VP's at these firms and not actual QUALIFIED staff who get projects done.

finally picked up Hollow Knight after putting off for years with all the silksong hype, honestly a 10/10 game. I'm nearing the end and it really deserves all the praise

Why is York and Front, along with other similar intersections not a 6 way crossing with pedestrian only cycles? It would make traffic so much better, the city is allergic to simple solutions and keeping status quo on so many things

So: the “Protect Bathurst / Dufferin” astroturf campaign run by Summerhill Market had videos of a guy talking about the neighborhood & RapidTO proposal. Real grassroots feel. Took a screenshot & put it into google image search. Guess what?
