@TTChelps Oh yeah we'll just have five hundred high school students fit on the elevator together.

[Tristan Laing @perspecting]

@TTChelps are you guys insane? This is the middle concourse at greenwood right now. That's what, four feet that all riders need to funnel through? Does anyone on this project have any idea the ridership this station experiences in relation to the local high schools?

[Tristan Laing @perspecting]

@TTChelps This is absolutely wrong you have no idea what crowds come through this station. Two high schools! Run by fools you are. Someone is going to get hurt.

[Tristan Laing @perspecting]

@TTChelps why are there FOUR slow zones on the spadina streetcar this morning. Are the current vehicles too heavy? Is it sinkholes from the recent rain events?

And when is signal priority coming to the Spadina streetcar @oliviachow ?

[Tristan Laing @perspecting]

@TTChelps It hasn't been changed. Kids get out of school in two hours. Hundreds of kids will be trying to get into the station all at once. You've left a four feet wide passage. Someone is going to get hurt.

[Tristan Laing @perspecting]

@TTChelps Who is in charge? Have they never been to greenwood station before? Do people not talk to each other? How did anyone think this was acceptable.

@TimothyDSnyder @munkschool @UofT Talk about Israel

[Tristan Laing @perspecting]

@jstreetdotorg There's no other Israel than the one that has been stripping Palestinians of their lives and land since 1948.

@BikeShareTO I'm going to keep posting this nonsense every day until you do something about it

[Tristan Laing @perspecting]

@BikeShareTO I would like to complain about how these docks are regularly full. I shop at the freshco at Lakeshore and Leslie and I regularly struggle to dock my bike anywhere nearby. This is a problem I have to deal with multiple times per week I am fed up.

[Tristan Laing @perspecting]

@TTChelps I'm trying to get home on line two right now and it seems a delay has turned into a closure. I want a refund. I am tired of paying for a service that doesn't get me where kn trying to go. Put the $3.30 back on my card and I'll walk home. #fedup

@SailCanada are you going to remain silent on the seemingly endless Israeli crimes against sailors in international waters? Israel should be banned from international sailing competitions if they can't abide by international maritime law.

[Prime Minister of Canada @CanadianPM]

Canada unequivocally condemns the abominable treatment of civilians aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla, including that which is documented in footage shared by Itamar Ben-Gvir.

Canada is demanding immediate assurances of the safety and security of Canadians involved.

@TTChelps I just boarded subway car 5353 at greenwood and the driver closed the door on me as I was boarding. The person in front of me had a cart which meant they were moving slowly. This is no excuse. I have a bruised shoulder now. How is this not assault?

[Tristan Laing @perspecting]

@TorontoPFR was AI used to come up with these one sentence descriptions? Bluebell 2 is clearly a reference to the Bluebell, twin ship of the trillium, whose hull rests in the outer harbour near the entrance to aquatic park.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The attacks on Iran by Israel and the United States are illegal, unprovoked and unjustifiable.

Peace and diplomacy was possible. Instead, Israel and the United States chose war.

This is the behaviour of rogue states — and they have jeopardised the safety of humankind around the world with this catastrophic act of aggression.

Our government must condemn this flagrant breach of international law, and urgently pursue a foreign policy based on justice, sovereignty and peace.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.  Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.

I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

@TimothyDSnyder This is a good essay however your endless silence on Israeli genocide continues to accuse you of incoherent hypocrisy

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

The world's two rogue states, Israel and the USA, have started a war not against Iran but against the whole world. We stand with Iranians, with Humanity, against the notion that Israel and the US can bomb anyone their fancy takes them to bomb. https://t.co/Xn8bo7q5Xc

@AnitaAnandMP This is disgusting support for an illegal war that has already killed dozens of children. Resign.

[Tristan Laing @perspecting]

@TransLink You mean like this sign

[Tristan Laing @perspecting]

@TransLink am I really not supposed to sit here?
