Back To Reality

@joe_warmington, 11:23 PM – No ⁦@GOtransit trains and security not letting people in bus terminal so far.

Hey, it’s not the City’s fault the game ran late.

I was cheering for the Jays, but at least we’ve being spared a week of insufferable media gloatfest.

Update: I can’t believe I forgot this.

      1. … while the Subway train ‘drivers’ Will be paid $350k/yr … because in the Maoist world of Momdani … Janitors will be more valued than Doctors.

      2. Sure transit will be free. There’ll only be one bus and one train, though. All they’ll be able to afford.

  3. World class city.
    Bwa ha ha ha.
    Good luck with that soccer thingy we’re all on the hook for.
    Wife bought a month of Sportsnet for the playoffs. On the plus side of the Jays loss I can now go back to ignoring Rogers and its evil empire.

    1. Indeed Buzz …. I didn’t think it would be possible that I would miss Shaw but Rogers truly sucks donkey dick!!
      All through the hockey and football my picture was freezing and pixellating …. at least it was only for a few seconds most times.

  4. “Bread and circuses” was the expression used in Roman times to describe the methods of controlling behavior of the general population. As long as you had these two quantities available (and not even free in this case), you could gull the population into submission and rule with impunity. Last night, the Blue Jays lost – somebody had to. And while it is unfortunate emotionally for the fans of Toronto (I have one in my house), it is not the end of Canada.

    The subways not running is a more important symptom of the real problems plaguing this country – parasitic politicians with unbounded appetites for power and money. The game was a distraction used by the government through one of its public private partnerships (Rogers as one of the three that manage the communications cartel, and owner of the Toronto Blue Jays) to distract the general population from the larger issues – that 1/3 of households are now carrying credit card debt (up from 1/4 last year) without relief, that a majority of households are within 200 dollars of collapse each and every month, that youth unemployment is now at 15%, for example. So which is more important – that a team owned by a cartel wins the pennant OR that people are able to manage their finances and survive life? Which is more important – that the government has no idea (as publicly stated in committee) as to how many immigrants, legal or otherwise, have been let into the country in the last 10 years, or the Blue Jays loss?

    I am sorry that the Blue Jays lost. And there are more important issues that the general public is ignoring because of that event. Will the subway not being open after the game spur them to thought and action or not?

    I doubt it very much.

  5. Elections have consequences. Unfortunately in Toronto and in Ontario, ALL of the choices are bad! And if anyone comes to the fore that has even the tiniest hint of competence (ie. not a leftist lunatic) then the media will spend 24/7 trying to destroy them.

  6. Canada would be better off if it became a depopulated world park where chicoms and islamists could meet and discuss how they’re going to divide the rest of the planet.
    The indian ‘natives’ can die out last in the haunted darkness, cold and wanting, miserable and alone.

  7. what grand opportunity to pose the hypothetical but very legitimate Q:

    how many youse Tranna voters in the video mind ya, picked . . . . . Ms Chow?
    how many brought it down on your OWN liberal heads?

    1. Legitimate question, Kritter. Very few of the folks in the vids would’ve likely voted for Chow-Chow. Real social justice warriors who did vote for this wouldn’t have been caught dead at a sportsball exhibition like some common prole.

      1. Very few of them actually vote.

        They have their reasons but the biggest one is that they rarely see a candidate that reflects their world view.
        Thats called depressing the voter that will not vote for another rehash of someone that advocates for the “hall monitors”.

    2. ~268k give or take, in a special election to replace John “Can’t keep it in my pants at work” Tory, an election that had 105 candidates.

      She denied receiving any help from the United Front Workers Party.

      She will never stop sucking on the taxpayer teat given her 4 and counting pensions

  8. Fascinating psychology for Torontonians … cheer for American ball players but otherwise loathe and detest Americans. They have no clue how mentally unstable they appear to the rest of us.

    1. Indeed, PBinAB. No clue. An American game, in the American League, being played by Americans, getting paid in U.S. dollars. Oh, well. Their Americans and Japanese beat our Americans and Central Americans.

      And Kate is right…we have been spared the media gloatfest. They will still be insufferable, though, as they have been during this series.

      (We switched over to Fox shortly into the game just to get a break from the insufferable Buck and Dan. Buck’s bromance with Vlad Jr. is puke-making. Did he even watch Vlad during the regular season? He’s lazy and he chases. Ever notice when Vlad is at bat and has three balls in the count, after the next pitch he starts towards first base before the umpire makes the call? He does it all the time. Drives me nuts.)

      1. Agree 100% Guerrero is lazy; it drives me nuts to see him amble down to first in an infield grounder while clement, Barger and others run like the hounds of hell are after them. For $500 million, get your ass moving.

        I watched all the playoff games on IPTV and saw games announced by Sportsnet and Fox. I don’t mind Martinez and Shulman but I can’t stand bimbo hazel mae; I mute the set or go to the bathroom when she’s on. But Joe Davis and HoF pitcher John Smoltz on Fox were top notch and unbiased. They were huge TO acknowledgers throughout.

        The postgame commentary was no contest; I always watched Fox except for last night, it was too painful. But Fox had A-Rod, Jeter and Ortiz: 2 HoF candidates and all 3 played in MLB. Sportsnet had 1 ex-MLB player, Opie (who never played) and some motormouth softball chick who also never played pro baseball but had the most to say of the 3 of them. I muted her, too.

        Not even a week ago one of the games went 18 innings. Didn’t anyone in charge of TTC say, “Hey, maybe we should stay running an extra hour or two in case this goes into extra innings?”

        Not likely. Government employees aren’t required or encouraged to think outside the box at this is what you end up with. At least the TTC dropped the old tagline and those commuters didn’t have to see posters proclaiming TTC was “The Better Way”

        1. I look forward to hearing a Trans softball star make commentary at a World Series game. You know it’s coming.

      1. Isn’t there a Canadian roster content rule in the CFL? Or was it finally dropped when it was realised how bad the CFL sucked?

  9. If the average ticket price to plunk your ass down is $2000.00, I think there’s an expectation on the part of the buyer that they receive the full Toronto experience. Breathe deep…let it flow through you and repeat after me…”Rogers Communications thanked me for for my continued support during the year, and stressed how important it is that we come together as Canadians while they chisel the living sh*t out of us with their data plans.”

    Get yourself an Uber, Chump.

    1. Notice the demographic of the fans at the game paying those ridiculous ticket prices, drinking that over-priced beer, and wearing the expensive merch? Yeah, they’re the same ones crying they’ll never be able to afford a house.

      1. Yup…made that very remark to the wife last night – Now couple that with the TSE commercials showing their miraculous ascent since 1993 and you’d think Canada was an economic powerhouse.

    2. I can only imagine the Uber “dynamic” pricing as their app is flooded with ride requests all at once outside Toronto stadium. Probably $120/Can. for a 10 min. ride

  10. “Olivia Chow left Toronto Blue Jays fans stranded with no Subway service after the World Series”

    I actually love this. #Lieberal voters, getting what they f-ing well voted for, good and hard.

    That’s right you oblivious Normie sports-fan morons. City of Toronto and Province of Ontario are quite happy to make you walk home from the game all the way to Lawrence Avenue in the dark. And they don’t care AT ALL if you are stuck waiting until 6AM for the first train of the day. Seriously, they do not care.

    Did you people all forget Covid already?

    Careful you don’t get mugged by a druggie, Normies.

    1. 8AM in this case, being Sunday service. That’s some all nighter wandering out in the dark and cold!

    2. Good. And. Hard.

      But unfortunately as was stated elsewhere many it most of the stranded fans weren’t libtard voters, they were conservatives.

    3. 8AM, because it’s Sunday. Also waiting from Midnight to 8 AM is 9 hours because of the time change.

    4. Okay, I’m not a fan or supporter of the Chunky Chink, but Olivia Chow did not leave anybody stranded. The transit ran according to the usual schedule and provided the usual service. The game ran late. If you came in on the GO train and gambled that the game would wrap up normally, you lost your gamble. I’m not blaming you, who could have known? But, who indeed? Nobody at the TTC or GO Transit could have known in advance either. If you want to walk from the Lakeshore to Lawrence, go ahead! But most people would use the TTC which runs all-night service. Yes, it’s limited skeleton service, but it gets you to Lawrence Avenue.

        1. All very well to point that out now. Did you write to the TTC two weeks in advance and point it out? Even two days? Nobody saw this coming.

  11. Even funnier is the fact Chow did a pre game interview and told people to take transit and not drive.

    2. Chow is a caricature socialist leech. Andy Donato nailed it with his cartoon after jack layton died: Chowceascu in her Chairman Mao coat on a skateboard standing on layton’s coattails was his best work. It drove the Left into paroxysms of rage, making it all the sweeter.

  12. State control of transportation.
    ‘Riding mass transit is like….’

    Toronto has a critical mass of stupidity.
    Nobody suspected of having intelligence can get elected there.

  15. As losers, the Left actually behaves more civilized
    than when they win.

    Transit or no transit,
    if the Jays won, Toronto would have seen more, not less street vandalism.

    These are not happy people, even when they celebrate.

  18. BART stops operating at midnight … when all the criminals and homeless are chased off the trains. But despite horrific management … BART remains open after midnight for special events.

    It’s only LAZY government bureaucrats that would FAIL to make provisions for a World Series game in their city. Lazy. Incompetent. Overpaid.

    In the private sector … there would be firings.

  19. All of the usual suspects in charge of the TTC Board and the CEO is Mandeep Lali. Every one of them needs to resign since they can’t plan for a major event, and the ttc is a disaster.

    Chair – Councillor Jamaal Myers
    Vice-Chair – Joe Mihevc
    Councillor Paul Ainslie
    Councillor Alejandra Bravo
    Fenton Jagdeo (Citizen)
    Liane Kim (Citizen)
    Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik
    Councillor Josh Matlow
    Julie Osborne (Citizen)
    Councillor Dianne Saxe

  20. Don’t worry, Sportsnet and Rogers are working to resolve the issue.

    Should be fixed by the time the Maple Laughs win the cup, or the Eglington LRT line is finished.

    In other words … never.

  21. Many comments here about Ontario voters getting it good and hard but unfortunately they are not getting it good and hard enough. Needless to say while they are getting it good and hard they have sucked all of the rest of us into the stinking, septic sewage tank that Canada has become. The Canadian standard of living has regressed over the last ten years of Liberal government to the point that it will take two or more generations to perhaps recover, then again with the bozos continually voting for bozos we may never achieve the standards of the Sixties and Seventies. Mores the pity!!! In the next budget we are going to find out that we have run out of other peoples money just as the Blue Jays found out last night that they had run out of homers. A little baseball analogy here, with bases loaded and only one out you try and manufacture a run by pulling a suicide squeeze, try and settle for one run instead of going for the grand slam. It is time Canadian voters accepted that mantra instead of trying to fix the world with all your hopes and dreams, work out a strategy to fix things one item at a time. Pick one item out of the many, health care, education, manufacturing, defence, transportation. Just fix one as a start because the present situation is leading us to slow oblivion.

    1. It’s actually fast oblivion, when you count sovereign and sub-sovereign (provincial) debt we’re over 100 of GDP and growing rapidly. There is no fixing it up, it’s a tear down.

      1. Not happening with con voter mentality. “If we can’t win it all with ONE pristine candidate (Max) then we will split the vote or not show up to punish other conservatives without our solid blue spectacles.” And the libscum keep rolling up elections.

        Nobody eats their own like conservatives, and we had trudolt and carnage because we can’t get our sh1t together.

    2. I concur with but one caveat

      You confuse Toronto voters with Ontario voters.
      There are three problem spots in Canada that contribute to the stagnation because they don’t know any better.
      It’s the MTO
      Montreal Toronto and Ottawa

  22. I replied today on another post that both LA and Toronto decided to elect Communist women as mayors. Have fun kids.
