A reporter asked the government about the Trumpian tactic of flooding the zone with this bill (it’s an omnibus!) and the ministers appear outraged. They balk at a question that…accurately characterizes what they’re doing.

Waitlists for MRIs are too long across Ontario, with only 30% occurring in their target time.
The answer is simple: fund our public hospitals to run their EXISTING MRI machines on evenings and weekends. Get rid of the waitlists. Get Ontarians the care they need.

Hamilton City Council promised last week that HSR (which Council said was operating at "99 per cent") would be at 100 per cent service today - including school trips.
Right now, there are bus cancellations in every area of Hamilton.
No HSR managers on duty to provide detailed info. #hamont #yhmcc

For whatever reason the City of Burlington decided to block off the pedestrian crossing at the John Street Terminal, forcing people to cross at the North end of the terminal, near the HSR 11 stop. Would love to know the logic behind this decision. #burlon #publictransit #planningfail

My latest on how MAGA is targeting the immense sacrifice of Black soldiers who fought fascism. Trump's gang would have welcomed the fascists. The people of the Netherlands are outraged by the white supremacist government in Washington.

MAGA's Race War Targets War Graves in Holland
Over Christmas, I was stopped in my tracks by the news that the United States government removed commemorations to Black American war dead in the Netherlands.

People often want simple answers to the question of why transit is worse in North America (US especially) than other places. A transit agency voluntarily slowing it’s trains down for dubious “safety” benefits, as the government bans speed cameras says a lot.

I share the concerns raised by people, across the city, about the timing of the erection of this fence in front of the Salvation Army. The terrible message it sends is that Hamiltonians who are experiencing homelessness should be hidden from sight. It's not ok to treat anyone like this. #HamOnt
