@AndrewCash He wilfully ignored the domestic violence/child abuse I suffered from birth by both my parents, never reporting it to any authorities.
I imagine he did same with others so to not alienate his niche Toronto-Portugue$e community practice where domestic abuse was commonplace
@blogTO Or simply eliminate the farebox, something I began calling for over 20 years ago, before I was a transit operator (former bus driver).
Treat it like other "common good" services (waste removal, snow clearing, etc...), funded collectively & run it as a hop-on-hop-off service ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@blogTO Before anyone gets too carried away with this, Canada shares 7th place with 3 other countries (Czechia, Hungary, and Malta), and is actually 24th on the list, since all of spots ahead are also shared by multiple countries!
FYI, last year Canada was also 24th ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@secret_hamilton@pfenningsfarm We should be building where appropriate, in existing urban areas, near transit lines & hubs, by building up, thereby increasing density, not by paving & building mansions on much needed farmland & natural spaces.
@rosiekristina@Penalosa_G@blogTO@TPSOperations A motor vehicles is not to enter an intersection unless they have a clear path to exit it. In other words, if traffic is backed up in front of you, the law says that you must wait for it to clear before crossing the intersection to not to get stuck in it between signal changes.
@wayner99@basedballsack@derekgiffen @Murcut @CP24 Wouldn't it be better to have that still massive net profit in provincial coffers, i.e., the citizens, rather than a private corporation's?
Of course, if you're conservative or liberal, then enriching the already mega-rich at the expense of the rest is the name of the game๐คฌ
@AlvinTedjo@fordnation@Metrolinx@BramptonTransit Bread & circus to deflect negative press and scrutiny D.Fraud (Ford) is drawing due to various scandals & lining his pals' big corporate pockets, like: Ontario Place, the Science Centre, the attempted Green Belt Grab, etc...
Eliminate the farebox from all transit for everyone!
@MctagueNicole@Avis_Favaro Premier Mike Harris stripped LTC & OHIP then made millions as Chartwell Residences' board chair.
He & wife started "Nurse Next Door" to farm out nurses to public health charging OHIP higher rates than actual public health nurses earn.
Ford is further privatizing.
Follow the $$$
@CTVToronto Imagine living in such constant pain that, in desperation, you travel thousands of kilometers for treatment you haven't been able to get locally, only to get caught up in a loophole & payment denied. Privatized healthcare is inhumane, but it is DFord's plan to enrich his pals.๐คฌ
@neezie_b@CTVToronto You're fortunate to have not yet lived in such constant pain that, in desperation, you travel thousands of kilometers for an operation you haven't been able to get locally, only to then get caught up in a loophole & payment denied. Privatized healthcare is inhumane.๐คฌ
@RealSamGill@CP24 ~90% of our illegal guns come from the U.S. & their crazy, permissive gun laws, coupled with our porous border, are to blame. Mexico suffers sam, with ~70% of illegal guns also from the U.S., primarily Texas.
Our two countries need a wall to keep all the U.S. cray cray out.
@schtev69@CP24 Actually, it's Israel that has the well documented, decades-long history of breaking in & stealing people's homes at the point of a gun & forcing them into the Gaza ghetto (which is now being "liquidated"), all using heavily armed thugs, a.k.a., the Israeli Occupation Force (IOF)
@ednovak@blogTO Try reading the article; the concern is that our first cold day like this is so late in the season compared to what it's been, historically.

@mymarriageplot@CP24 There is no information in that article regarding the details of any said application, so perhaps you can elaborate on why it would have been denied by the city?
@OPP_HSD Making ignition interlock devices mandatory in motor vehicles would bring the incidence of impaired driving to nearly zero, which should be the goal, rather than our after-the-fact punitive model, which only benefit$ certain groups (police, lawyers, judges, politicians, MADD) ๐คฌ
@CP24 The "escaped kangaroo" is an innocent prisoner who clearly showed us through their actions that they want to be free (although that should already be implicitly understood for all beings).
Animal exploitation is both unethical and unconscionable.

@CarymaRules Agreed. Further to that, they are an innocent prisoner who clearly showed us through their actions that they want to be free (although that should already be implicitly understood for all beings).
Animal exploitation is both unethical and unconscionable.
