There's a lot of transit expansions going on in the Toronto area which people unfortunately don't know too much about because of under-reporting from the media.

For convenience, I'm going to list all the major transit projects that are under construction or planned:🧵

The Canada-China agreement is a step forward: good for Canadian farmers, fishers, forestry, consumers, the environment & important for diversifying trade. NDP will continue to press for Chinese EVs to be built in Canada - access to our auto market should create Canadian jobs.

BREAKING: The TTC is getting new Line 2 subway trains (55 trains), manufactured right here in Ontario in Thunder Bay. They’re based on Alstom’s Metropolis platform, and look extremely modern. More here: https://t.co/P1CU9563YN

"We have two universities and a college. We have students commuting back and forth — the economic case for weekend and for faster and more reliable service is long standing," Fife said. "We really need to see upgrades to that weekend service." #onpoli https://t.co/arxqVPhYLo

No matter who wins the election, the level of polarization we’re seeing in Canada is not healthy and scares me.

Both sides despise each other. I don’t know how this country can heal

[Politics with Sami @politics_w_sami]

FPTP is the whole reason why we highly incentivize people to vote strategically (and therefore ditch their top preference just to stop someone else from winning) in Canada to begin with.

It needs to go

[David Moscrop @David_Moscrop]

Everyone is talking about wanting to expand trade and build economic resilience. And that’s great.

You know what we need for that? Ports, rail, roads, power grids, etc.

Government is going to be spending on that and we should want it to.

They also need bolder policies, especially on housing affordability. When Mark Carney's housing plan is better than yours, you know you've done something wrong.

The NDP needs a fresh perspective that acts as a third voice that is fundamentally distinct from the Liberals and Conservatives.

Jagmeet Singh needs to resign after the election. His time is up.

This is the best video describing Car Brain I've seen.

This is insane.

Like absolutely insane. Our region doesn't have enough money to fund GARBAGE CANS at bus stops but has money to increase the police budget.

We need to get more people out to speak Tues Dec 3, 5:30pm at the Strategic Planning and Budget Input Committee meeting!

It will take years (a decade?) to put back together Canadas multi-decade, pre-2021 immigration consensus.

Cannot believe the result here.

This, by far, will be the worst legacy of this federal government long term.

Finally got to visit Tommy Thompson Park and it’s truly incredible.

quebec-widnsor corridor is begging for high speed rail. if you connected all these cities — toronto, montréal, waterloo, ottawa — at 300km/h, I suspect incredible things would happen
