If a human does it, you still go to jail

I very rarely go to Exhibition Place (going West of Bathurst? Ew)
But it is the PRIME example of why separated LRT is GOAT’d
The Ex grounds are either EMPTY but surrounded by traffic or FULL and surrounded by traffic
Only time I used to drive was for the ski show… /1

Just passed thru Exhibition Place & it’s rammed. They’re parking people on the grass (🤦🏽). Royal winter fair. Soccer game at BMO. The notion that the Ex is used two weeks a year is false.

Why is Queen’s Park Station still like that. It’s been years and years.
I never see anyone working on it.
It seriously feels like it is being done by one guy’s uncle from Newmarket who doesn’t come in if the traffic’s bad or the fishin’s good.

The new middle class is being able to rent a house in your favorite neighborhood but absolutely never being able to buy one in the same space.

What you're witnessing is the enactment of the culture of impunity that wealthy elites live in. There is no accountability for anything they do. That's the mentality on display here.
(Cf. Young Republicans group chat.)
So, no. Not far from the main point at all, Mr. Political Scientist.

“Council allows small retail in neighbourhoods” -cp24

“After 463 letters, 30 deputants, and 4 hours of debate council votes to allow select retail to operate in select areas”
We should just always poison pill everything, what a city that would make.

It is difficult to stress how unrealistic this is. Any American could currently go out and negotiate their insurance, or any other facet of their lives
That gave birth to the current system
Collective bargaining is actually accretive for the individual in this scenario.

It really says something that Musk thinks an audiobook at 1.25x speed is the fastest and most efficient form of reading.
The average person reads faster than a 1.25x audiobook.
For example the Elevate app consistently measured me at about 400wpm, but I guess I’m not the richest man in the world

They’re a city who pretends to be green while driving EVERYWHERE.
They have a housing AND talent shortage because they refuse to change AT ALL
It feels cute for those who can afford to be there

My wife and I had a chance to spend a few days in Vancouver last year and let me tell you…
This city feels like it’s from an alternate reality where the people don’t prioritize greed and selfishness over empathy and community.
We went home incredibly jealous of… well, everything.

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.
Safe bike-lanes mean business.

we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate

I hope Toronto’s politicos learn:
Run a Mayoral candidate who actually likes the city
Not one whose platform is vengeance upon it
But I know somehow some fringe candidate will try to get elected on deleting my personal safety.
