@JasonParis@frankscarpitti I agree w/ Markham's Mayor (both as former 26yr resident of York Region: Markham & Vaughan & #TTC CMO): The Yonge North extension should have been the first subway extension, not the #TYSSE, currently up & running w/ 1.2m rides/YEAR forecast—way, way less than subway capacity 1/@JasonParis@frankscarpitti 2/ #TYSSE to FinMin Greg Sorbara's riding was approved by Premier Dalton McGuinty, as a thank you to Mr. Sorbara for his support winning Liberal leadership, election/re-election majorities & his family's deep involvement w/ @YorkUniversity (his brother was Chair). #TOpoli#ONpoli

@bradTTC@CityNews@TorontosMayor@JohnTory#TTC Sep.2018 CEO Report: ttc.ca/PDF/About_the_…: continued unprecedented -3.1% YTD ride decline—despite a growing economy & jobs in GTA. It is alarming that Metropass decline accelerated to 40% total rides, down 5pp from 45% in Jul.2018 CEO report & peak 52% (2014) #TOpoli 1/

@keerthanarang@mbeckrubin@jen_keesmaat "Insufferable" is 20~ish hyper-partisan, political staffers weighing in on public transit issues…with little expert knowledge...on behalf of a Mayor whose #TTC track record is a new record: no-ride/rev growth in a growing economy! #BADtransitMayor#TOpoli—dropbox.com/s/fk17zr8e4ajl…@keerthanarang@mbeckrubin@jen_keesmaat "Only @JohnTory could" says a Staffer…
❌Brings people together...as long as they're sycophants—not radicals
❌Hires an an angry, alcoholic, alt-right, divisive, white supremacist hate-speech-spewing, unhappy hater NicK as his campaign strategist… shaming his once proud name!
