Is that a good bro or a bad bro? 😂

I love these. They never get old

"I accept responsibility for my actions,” Luloff told reporters outside the courthouse." Except he only did that after he was convicted. We should expect better from our elected officials.

Once more into the breach dear friend.

Yeah, we're not factory workers without electricity anymore, it's not necessary, it's time to put it to bed.

A reminder that for adults, daylight savings time is a rough week of the year:
- +24% spike in heart attacks on the first workday
- +8% stroke
- +6.25% mental health crisis
- Upwards to 23% increase in car or car smashing

Canada = Better Together
USA = Me, Myself, I

Thats what makes us always better than our counterpart, except when it comes to exploiting others (cnd business do try, but struggle to match agressive US self serving capitalism)

According to OCT's slides from September, the earliest date for revenue service is mid-April ... but trial running is, I've heard, delayed until at least the next booking (for operators) at the end of April, so June opening at the earliest.

Take all news (including mine) with a grain of salt.

Occasional is an alternative transit authority, but originally we were founded to keep people safe. That mission has since moved from train stations to the streets. I want to reaffirm we continue to monitor the very real threat of convites and other clowns.

Ottawa will not be occupied again.

Worst case Ontario, you could take it to CNC machine/fabricator and they could cut you one out of metal.

Yeah. They have a few plans on their website that they're working through to show that they're following the recommendations from the judge, and that they got a plan to get back to service.

But it's all very corporate and not very meaningful.

A fixed schedule commute is probably the best thing serviced by buses, but yeah, getting from STL down to HQ is a pain, when you could just drive in 1/5th the time.

I'm sure most of his staff are happy to hear, management continues to not use the service that probably most of them use daily.

I know over CTV it's to sell some ad space, and I think they have to check off a certain amount of local content by law.

But I wonder if these kinds of things are just a pressure release for the public. They generally come off as an ad for the gov service.

A few days ago, I was like it must be spring, I can hear the Ford f-150s revving the engines outside my window.

Short retirement, glad he is back.

Troy Charter, Interm General Manager was quoted today by CTV saying they hope to make an announcement on this either today or tomorrow. Stay tuned.

"There is a strong interest in visiting downtown if [parkin] access improves" - laughable.

No world class city. None. Has become world-class because they added more parking.

In fact it is because they did the opposite.

This city just loves blowing money out the arse.
