Metrolinx can't run night trains "due to track ownership"?!
Metrolinx owns:
100% of Lakeshore East
100% of Stouffville
100% of Barrie
Kitchener line to just before Bramalea
Lakeshore West to Burlington.
Rather than sharing their actual constraints they spew vague misleading bullshit.

New Zealand will replace its gas tax with road user charges based on distance, time, and weight.
"Weight" is an intriguing variable. Will owners of massive SUVs and utes need to pay extra b/c of their environmental and safety costs? (They should.)

Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, and Napoleon all conquered empires getting news through the filter of "guy on a galloping horse", you can put your phone down
I think it's already abundantly clear that no ordinary person needs to receive granular news updates on a minute-by-minute basis.
Reading the news once a day is plenty. It is, in fact, much more news than most people have received at most points in human history.

Doug Ford wants to remove/reduce bike lanes to make traffic flow faster.
But also Doug Ford:
(These block so much traffic in the busiest part of the city already, it will be a major annoyance)

It's funny that CBC did all their reports outside on the Embassy roof in -8° or warmer.
Toronto is -15° right now so this was probably easy for them to pull off

One of the best bits of purported good news in this budget is that the City is finally making a bit of progress on its state-of-good-repair backlog, as there’s more money for stuff to get fixed. “Flattening the Backlog Curve,” they say, euphemistically.
