Kinda over Matlow's photo ops for his extended run for mayor and we're still almost a full year away from the election.

What photo ops, there isn’t even a photo of him in his post or even the article lol. All I see him post is critiques of the province and their handling of Line 5, stuff about the TTC where he’s on the board, and being out and about in his community. Comes off as a social media engaged left-leaning councillor.
Stark contrast to Brad Bradford who’s nearly made his entire identity about constantly complaining that Toronto is going in the wrong direction and has cozied up to those who crusade against Chow.

Not a political thread and I don't keep up with municipal politics to have a horse in the race - but he literally held a news conference with the union. 10000% a photo op to show "he's fighting for transparency for the people of Toronto".

The problem is Bradford is pretty far right-wing. He played his own constitutents by pretending to be progressive, but since his final ward election, has gotten pretty nasty - and now joins Holyday in many of the old 25-1 anti-urban votes.
You are the one who got into politics!

Especially when it's lit up, I wonder if they should have dropped Line 5 at Cedarvale more clearly. Which the seems to have done between Ionview and Kennedy.

Mammolitti redux, right down to cozying up to a Holyday.

Ah, that's right. Didn't he used to openly admit he was a socialist?

IIRC Mammoliti was an NDP MPP before he got on city council.

Yes - but few of the NDP identify as socialists.

is that as dark as I think it is?

Why does this look like Glencairn is on Line 5? I can see they are struggling with the spacing. Almost like a fully digital option would have been the way to go for these, instead of the Litebrite approach.

After seeing a post yesterday of all the unfinished pieces on Line 6's opening day, it doesn't give me great confidence in Eglinton. Many are cosmetic pieces, but a couple made me wince.

Makes me wonder if these deficiencies are the reason why speeds are limited on the entirety of the rail.
If thats the case, I would have been fine with waiting a little while longer before launching things.

And yet, as an Eglinton resident I still envy the people who have it to ride. A lot can be forgiven once a usable transit line is actually delivered.
