@krassenstein Yes, she is and then some.

It's insane how China can put down 2600 km of high speed rail in a year. Ottawa can't build or buy to specifications. Toronto can't even open a station that's built - that now going on 14 years.

Why the hell do we suck so much? 😜

[Occasional Transport (On BSky) @OccTranspo]

The problem though. If I continue to use the car and keep driving I'll get there in 15 minutes. If I park the car and get on the bus. I'll be there in an hour, or so, maybe...

You got bigger problems to fix. Quit wasting money on marketing when you got core problems festering.

[Dean Blundell🇨🇦 @ItsDeanBlundell]

Basically the polar opposite of Pierre Poilievre.

The reality of health care in Doug Ford’s Ontario.

Across the province, 2.5 million don’t have a doctor.

In Niagara, we are short over 100 doctors.

Ford’s has seven years to address it - but he’s only made it worse.

Ontario deserves better.

This is a pretty excellent short documentary. Mistakes have been made and new voices need to be listened to in order to fix the system.

@ABetterOttawa Or a better solution, a Bank Street O-Train line. @BankStOtrain @_MarkSutcliffe. We are the capital of a G7 country, it’s time we start thinking boldly and investing in transportation infrastructure.

[Mike Schreiner @MikeSchreiner]

I just voted against this bill.

Ripping up bike lanes won't improve traffic anywhere and will put cyclists' lives at risk.

The other half of this bill will fast-track Highway 413, which will pave over prime farmland and the Greenbelt, ramp up climate pollution, and increase the risk of flooding – all to help a handful of billionaire land speculators.

We need MORE safe and affordable ways to get around, not less. This government just doesn't get it. People’s lives are at risk as a result of this disastrous legislation.

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

They can pass laws to remove bike lanes in record time.... but save women's lives? Kids' lives? That seems to always require "more study".

Give me a gd break. Make it happen or get out of the way so we can get this done. No more kids and moms killed. Let's start there.

[Tyler Watt 🇨🇦 @tylerwatt]

Another ER closure in Ontario. While Doug Ford’s Conservatives are focused on Toronto’s bike lanes to distract us, our health care system continues to crumble.

We need to invest in community health care & access to start addressing this crisis. #onpoli

Looks like the new bus schedules dropped #Ottawa

So really. This is somebody got mad, and the "government" is now retroactive reaching back to the time where they got offended.

When will this corruption end.

[Andrew Tumilty @AndrewTumilty]

It is a shocking failure of editorial judgment to give a foreign agent airtime to attack the credibility of Canada’s government after it expelled him for playing a role in the murder of Canadians on Canadian soil.

[Free Transit Ottawa @freetransitott]

After years of neglect, OC Transpo is facing a major funding shortfall. The mayor says without federal money, the city will have no choice but to raise fares and cut service.

That's false. There are many other ways to fund better transit.🧵

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

While their Premier was on a 19-week break, families across Ontario have been feeling stuck.

Stuck waiting for homes, stuck without a doctor, and stuck paying for Ford’s schemes and scandals.

It’s time to build homes, hire doctors, fix schools, and make life more affordable.

[Ontario Nurses' Association @ontarionurses]

We've learned that taxpayers paid a legal bill of $4.3 MILLION for @Fordnation failed defence of the unconstitutional #Bill124.

That public money could have been better invested in health-care professionals, not wasted fighting them in court. #onpoli
