College streetcar & Dufferin bus both 15+ mins away. If you need to be on time anywhere in the west, you won’t. The mayor & his yahoos don’t take the bus or streetcar.
Tory Toronto’s decline is profound
Lady tells me tells me this is the 3rd not in service Dufferin Bus to pass the stop. Fuck this city. No buses. No streetcar. Only suckers take transit in this city.
And on twitter Tory’s $200K goon cops gloat about harassing riders for not paying for contemptuous service. You owe these people nothing.
When the Dufferin bus does come it is sardine packed. How does Rick Leary have his job? “Opposition” councillors should be talking about the TTC every day but aren’t.

Farewell tour for Skinny Puppy just announced. Another band I somehow missed seeing back in the day. That will be corrected this April. consequence.net/2023/02/skinny…
No Detroit show. Odd.
I had this poster up in my room in high school. Mom thought it a bit weird.
Calling out the mayor - but importantly, calling out crappy TTC comms. Govt by comms has its limits. If there was a respectful tradition on the TTC, giving people all info, vs spin and/or silence, people would understand snow delays or injuries. reddit.com/r/TTC/comments…
Same with @VIA_Rail in December. Awful comms poured gasoline on a problem.
Need a real reckoning and reset of gov't comms, these agencies. Trust is in the dumpster and it's self-inflicted.
Like w via rail it was front line folk who won people over the eve I was in Union Station. Not corporate comms. Here corporate comms will snuff out the most honest comms that has come out of the TTC in a while. These official accounts are trust evaporators.
I watched a fellow obviously in some state of distress eat his food off the floor then leave it & his other stuff at Christie Station where he got off.
The regularity of this was not a thing before.
I know I’ve felt I look like a chicken little writing about this stuff - I suspect other have too as it seems to go nowhere, comfortable people can ignore for a whole - but the decline of Toronto has real social consequences. Things fall apart.
