Me: “Let’s improve rail in Canada.”

Carbrains: “No! Rail in Canada sucks!”

Me: “It does suck, so let’s improve it.”

Carbrains: “No, we aren’t Europe! Rail in Canada sucks!”

There is no winning with these people. Ignore them.

Build the trains. Densify. Pedestrianise.

[Christo Aivalis 🌹🍊 @christoaivalis]

He's 100% correct.

Capitalists are using Trump as a cudgel to drive right-wing policy within Canada

Opposing Trump means also opposing them

How about instead we kill you

[Rachel Gilmore @atRachelGilmore]

Pete Hegseth is a booze-soaked bitch whose shit would get rocked by anyone with five minutes and the ability to stay upright.

Keep jingling keys by agonizing over whether every Canadian is fuckable and heterosexual enough for you.

We’re still focused while you act like a bitch!

The $150 billion estimate includes $85.2B in infrastructure capital and $66.3B for 40 years of operations and maintenance. 🚄

Here's how the cost per kilometre compares to other major high-speed rail projects around the world.

[Gov. Bill Lee @GovBillLee]

At a place where Tennessee welcomes the world, it is fitting that BNA would bear @DollyParton’s name.

Today, in partnership with @Fly_Nashville, we announced our intent to honor Tennessee’s favorite daughter and her indelible legacy.

[Brad Luttrell (My newsletter is live) @bradluttrell]

Listening to Dolly this morning. Walked out to get the paper and here she is.

A front page NYT obituary is rare, saved for cultural titans like Muhammad Ali, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Steve Jobs

And now, Dolly Parton.

[Communist Party USA @communistsusa]

The Communist Party USA mourns the loss of Dolly Parton, a working class woman who was known not only for her remarkable musical contributions but also for who she was as a person.

Through her music and the way she carried herself through the world, she brought joy and encouragement to millions, while never losing sight of where she came from or the struggles of ordinary people. Her warmth, generosity, humor, and courage inspire us all.

Dolly devoted much of her wealth and influence to improving the lives of working people. She consistently spoke out against racism, sexism, and homophobia.

Through her Imagination Library, she helped put millions of books into the hands of children. She supported disaster relief, COVID-19 research, and education, and she even used royalties from Whitney Houston's recording of
"I Will Always Love You" to invest in a Black community in Nashville.

Dolly was never afraid to stand up for people who were left behind. Through her music, philanthropy, and public voice, she showed us that compassion and solidarity are powerful forces.

We share in the grief felt around the world at her passing.

The working class has lost one of its brightest and boldest

[MILEY @miley]

The feeling of losing my Aunt Dolly is beyond what feels right to share. Our most sacred moments were private and they’ll stay there behind the stage, beneath the glamour & between our hearts.

What I KNOW is Dolly would want me to feel it, write a song about it, and then continue on and be strong. I have an angel by my side. I always have. One of our last conversations was about music and metamorphosis. 🦋

I will always love her and want to make her proud. My heart breaks for the world, her family and friends who will miss her deeply. We’re in this loss together and we will see her in all of the most beautiful things. 💖 @dollyparton

Dolly Parton was one of the first public figures fundraising and fighting for people living with HIV and AIDS in 80’s, when the government refused to. Always been a LGBTQ rights advocate as well.

Rest in peace Dolly.

Restoring a ~50 km abandoned rail corridor to connect Collingwood and South Georgian Bay to Toronto with passenger rail would be a huge win. I hope that the Province of Ontario takes this seriously! https://t.co/iCQaiS1j8e

[Dave Gray-Donald @dgrdon]

Brutal lack of context from @robertbenzie on @FrontBurnerCBC recently saying "maybe in Canada we don't have the tradition of rail travel you have in Europe or even in China." Come on. These were rail routes in 1955. Politicians (especially Mulroney and Chretien) destroyed it.

[Liam @SomosLos_Rojos]

Doomed country with infrastructure collapsing all around because some bitch in the 80’s decided to privatise every facet of our lives and the results thereof have been catastrophic

[Jake Landau (He/Him) 🇨🇦🇵🇸🇺🇦 @JakeLandauTO]

Keep them anyway. I want Olivia Chow to ignore the courts. Keep the bike lanes and keep cyclists safe. If the government acts to get rid of them, cyclists need to swarm Queen's Park with their bikes and stage a long-term encampment.
