Very excited to see Waymo expanding to Toronto. Autonomous driving means safer roads for all users, and safer trips for riders.
We’re bringing the magic of Waymo to Toronto! 🇨🇦
In the coming days, you’ll begin seeing Waymo’s all-electric vehicles driving through Toronto’s streets as we lay the groundwork for our ride-hailing service.
Our goal is to begin serving riders in 2028.

One of North America’s most frequent subways runs under this street btw. It’s not like it’s impossible to move along Bloor.
Finally. The Bloor bike lanes are getting the only treatment they’ve ever deserved: removal.
Chow spent years treating a handful of cyclists like the most important people in Toronto while everyone else sat in traffic.
Long overdue. Good riddance.

To the neoliberals:
The ownership of Stelco is not acting on the profit motive.
The ownership of Stelco is acting on the political motive of a hostile foreign government.
For national security and functioning markets the ownership must change.

Russia once again helps Trump win an election
NEW: President Trump says that Russian President Vladimir Putin will “immediately” release hundreds of thousands of tons of diesel fuel onto the global market. It was not immediately clear how this would work, given wide-ranging sanctions that have been applied to Russia since its invasion of Ukraine. nbcnews.com/business/energy/…

Phase rotation is finally active at some intersections on Line 6 Finch West!
But what is phase rotation? And how does it make my commute faster? 🤔👇

Trolleybuses: all those ugly overhead wires interfering with the aesthetics of neighborhoods, am I right? 🚎🍁🏡
I’ve known Eric since high school, and he hasn’t changed a bit (that’s a big compliment). Thanks for bringing forward substantive issues to Ontario politics, and for sticking up for the next generation. Can’t wait to see what you do next!
Today I am ending my campaign.
I am grateful to everyone who shared our belief that Ontario Can Still Win. This is just the end of the beginning.
I am also proud to endorse Lee Fairclough (@LFairclo) for Ontario Liberal Leader and Premier of Ontario.

Enforcing fares is one of the most pro-working-class things you can possibly do in a city. Everything downstream improves. Transit becomes safer, more reliable, and ultimately faster. Massive improvement in people’s daily lives who depend on transit to put food on the table.
