Riding Mass Transit Is Like Inviting 30 Random Hitchhikers Into Your Car

And then the car won’t start.

Toronto’s disastrous public transit project known as the Eglinton Crosstown LRT stands as a warning to other cities across Canada to run screaming in the other direction when any politician at any level of government tries to sell you on the joys of so-called light rail transit.

Toronto’s disastrous public transit project known as the Eglinton Crosstown LRT stands as a warning to other cities across Canada to run screaming in the other direction when any politician at any level of government tries to sell you on the joys of so-called light rail transit.[…]

Greenhouse gas emissions would be drastically reduced, we were assured, as thousands of commuters would happily abandon their cars for the convenience of whisking along the designated route of the LRT, free of the city’s chronic traffic congestion and gridlock.

Reality turned out to be years of increased congestion and gridlock at major intersections as construction of the LRT divided the city in half, with those living and working south and north of Eglinton Ave. — a major east–west arterial road in Toronto — having to factor in dramatically increased travel times just to cross Eglinton.

Numerous small businesses along the route folded as the construction choked off access to their customers, combined with the additional financial burden of the pandemic.

Halt construction, park the railcars and convert the mess directly to tent city for homeless druggies and thereby skip the painful middle stage during which innocent commuters are exposed to the risks.

The feminization of higher ed — and of American society as a whole — is a large topic. Here I want simply to note that the repellent jelly of moral confusion that united all three responses was saturated by that feminization. None of those women could give a direct answer to a direct question about a matter of grave moral moment. Instead, they temporized, equivocated, dodged and parried.

… Epping said of curling in general.

“We need to take action,” said John Epping, a Toronto curler who is one of the few openly gay athletes in the country.

“We need more curlers in the game in general, period.”

This is where Dr. Richard Norman comes in.

Norman was recently hired as the director of community futures and innovation by Curling Canada and one of his primary roles is to promote diversity, equity and inclusion within the sport.

With a unique PhD in sports and society, with a focus on race and colonialism in the sport of curling, he has been on the job for six months and is making strides toward growing the game …

Stick a fork in it, Martha.

Dan Knight;

The recent 30-hour marathon session in the House of Commons, a Conservative-led protest against the carbon tax, has been downplayed by the Liberals as mere formalities. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

This session was far from a mere formality. It was a vital demonstration of resistance against a government that’s running rampant with its spending and elitist policies. The Conservatives, under Pierre Poilievre, knew they were unlikely to stop any of these bills with the Bloc and NDP in lockstep with the Liberals. But that wasn’t the point. The point was to make the Liberals work for their decisions, to make them physically present in the House to face the consequences of their actions.

Let’s cut through the spin and face the stark reality of Justin Trudeau’s Canada. We’re witnessing a food inflation rate that’s estimated to be a staggering 32.7% from 2021 to 2024. Think about that – nearly one-third of your buying power has evaporated under this government. Every trip to the grocery store is now a financial struggle for the average Canadian. Your dollar just doesn’t stretch as far as it used to, and families across the nation are feeling the pinch.

The root of this economic hardship? Look no further than the Liberal government’s inflationary budgets and policies. Take the carbon tax, for instance. It’s not just an environmental measure; it’s a direct contributor to the rising cost of living that’s making life increasingly unaffordable for millions of Canadians.

Narrative Massacre

Looking for a Christmas gift that eviscerates a common historical narrative for yourself or a like-minded family member? If you’re undecided, here’s a review that goes over the main points of Flynn-Paul’s work.

Alleged massacres resulted in the deaths of less than 1% of the Indian population and numbers in the thousands, not millions–a record long obscured thanks to Stannard’s embellishment of native population estimates. Colonialism is not an outgrowth of capitalism because the church and nobility were fervently opposed to such economic systems. The “logic of tribal anarchy” meant no land was in possession of one tribe for more than a few generations and natives were invariably locked in intratribal disputes. No evidence exists that settlers engaged in biological warfare by giving natives smallpox-laced blankets. In fact, Thomas Jefferson established an immunization program for Indians, going so far as to task Lewis and Clark with disseminating the smallpox vaccine on their famed expedition.
