Jon Stewart on the Trump admin blatantly lying about the execution of Pretti. His closing thoughts are pretty devastating. This is how they lie to us when they know we've seen the truth. Imagine how they lie when there's no evidence to contradict them.

The stop spacing could be identical on Hurontario with high floor LRVs. All you need is a slightly higher platform and a slightly longer ramp.

I think we started from the position that Bombardier makes low floor LRVs in Ontario and we want jobs there, so build the line using low floor LRVs. I think you give far too much credit to the conception of recent transit projects in Ontario to make appropriate and well considered engineering...

That's only true in the absence of proper stations with level boarding. High floor vehicles can have improved interior circulation, as well as the possibility of more and wider door openings.

Why not copy the 407 scheme to give a handful of free trips per time period for those with low incomes?

I think it would make people re-consider taking jobs on the other side of the GTA for a couple thousand dollars a year more. Employers would be even more incentivized to locate their workplaces in transit accessible areas to draw on the biggest talent pool. As it is, I would just flat out refuse...

You would have to pay a lot for that stretch of the 407 because dropping tolls on it would cause substantial congestion, severely degrading the value proposition of a free-flowing highway at peak times, when the 'free' 407 backs up a dozen KM onto the tolled stretch.

He won't even impose the 100% on anything.

It's dumb until you recognize that Metrolinx has serious challenges electrifying the stretch around Union, which would make battery operation quite useful. They have been suggesting in their recent rumblings that this might be the plan.

If Trump dies in office, which seems quite likely, it will be interesting to see if they try to autopen a bunch of pardons, which usually come as a president leaves office.

Sunday should be interesting.

There is no point taking Trump seriously. 100% tariffs are an empty threat.

They have to be trolling, to know there are no penguins in the Northern hemisphere.

Trump can get f*cked. He is the coward who hid from the draft.

Not sure it is bad intelligence so much that everyone in Russian military intelligence were just bullsh!tting to their superiors. There was no incentive to correct BS. Now, Putin maybe should have been less gullible to believe it would be so easy. It makes one wonder if this war would even have...
