My thoughts on the fare guarantee proposal www.linkedin.com/posts/anne-m...

Will be on Newstalk with John Moore at 9:50 to talk about TTC fare refunds proposal. Is it helpful or a distraction?

Here’s my Coles Notes for the top 2025 stories from our discussion and you can watch the video if you missed it (our Agent Orange prediction has already come true) curiouspublic.com/2025/reflect...

Lofty (tho expensive) idea that works on GO but logistically for TTC I’m not sure. GO’s trips have start/arrival times. Not for TTC rides. Also, refunds only happen if a rider uses PRESTO that records trip proof. Finally, refunds are not automatic on GO (require riders to apply).

And apparently it’s coming.

Wow 👏

There’s still time to register for our free webinar. Great way to wrap up the wild ride that was 2025. mailchi.mp/curiouspubli...

It is exciting to have a new transit line open and we should celebrate that but it was so painfully slow without transit signal priority. Hopefully that can happen

Fun time catching up and reminiscing

I can say I was there…

I’ll be joining a bunch of ex-Mx folks who’ve worked on the line over the years later today to take a ride. Historic day we don’t want to miss

What a difference between the old and new @viarailcanada.bsky.social trains. Such a smooth ride, quiet, great WIFI, comfortable seats. Old train on the way home from Ottawa was bumpy as hell, no WIFI and lumpy seats. You’d think the price might be different for these relics

Outstanding investigative journalism 👏🏻 that just keeps uncovering more layers of stench. In all the stories about SDF, has anyone spoken to people who received training or a job as a result of this fund? Ford keeps saying how many jobs were apparently created but I’d like to see independent evidence

What the @thestar.com says X 10000 www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Incredible journalism

Last chance to register. Canada’s push for transit-oriented development is supposed to be a win for housing but often accelerates the housing crisis that disproportionately impacts low-income residents. How can we change that? us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Impressive use of pooch puns. And I’m glad I read this news or I may have called Toronto Animal Services. My fav park. It’s impressive, whimsical work by Claude Cormier.

Too soon for new snow plan, I’m guessing….

I support all the good efforts to improve safety that TTC is implementing…except this one. Shaming people has never been an effective way to change behaviour & comes with risks. Are they following an example on another transit system? @torontotoday.ca

What does the federal budget mean to city building? Let’s discuss. Good opportunity today at Noon us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Former PM Jean Chretien being interviewed by Lisa Laflamme was just brilliant & so refreshingly candid last night at the JHR gala

My ride today is travelling beyond 240km an hour. Smooth, gorgeous high speed train from Rome to Florence

I’ll be flying to Rome tomorrow (my first visit to Italy) while Toronto will be hosting the first World Series game but will be wearing this sweatshirt to cheer the team on #GOJAYSGO

Parry Island weekend with my siblings before the heavy rain. This pileated woodpecker kept following us on our walks

Well said www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Good Friday morning

Most have forgotten that Bondfield was also hired to build/renovate transit stations for Metrolinx & the city (like Union Station) & failed miserably

If I walked up to someone on the street and threatened to beat their ass - even if I think they did something wrong - I likely would be charged…just saying Premier

Waiting for endless construction to end in Toronto

His meddling serves as a distraction from the bigger scandals

Well looks like somebody scored big time. This story just keeps getting worse for the Ford government

Something I’ve been thinking about: will we ever know how much of the millions in payouts did the identified lobbyists pocket?

“Ultimately, a place is more than the physical environment. It’s about creating a virtuous cycle, where people and places build each other up, generating infinite potential for connection, wisdom, and joy.”

“I’ll be very blunt. You never know what comes out of a meeting with Pres Trump,” Ford said. “He’ll say one thing one day & change his mind the next day.” I’ll be very blunt. You never know what comes out of a meeting with Ford. He’ll say one thing one day & change his mind the next.

This would be funny if not incredibly dangerous behaviour. It’s incumbent upon this government to be transparent about this government employee, the consequences for repeatedly breaking the law. If it were anyone else the premier would be using them as an example in one of his PR stunts

‘Stay with me, brother’: Man reconnects with stranger who saved his life from a heart attack in Liberty Village

Ed Keenan visited yesterday and after we talked Bradford, Tory and Chow, we really got into the whole speed camera debacle. www.torontomike.com/2025/10/edwa...

The @thestar.com was unable to verify any evidence of people getting speeding tickets for going 1-5 km over the limit. So where is your proof of a cash grab Doug Ford? If it was really as rampant as he claims, wouldn’t there be lots of examples? www.thestar.com/opinion/publ...

It is good to see media explicitly & quickly calling out disinformation campaigns @thestar.com www.thestar.com/business/fac...

I can’t actually see the sunrise from my condo but there are signs….

Great news. That’s smart planning. Remember, weekend day passes (e-tickets - no tapping) are only $10 for all-day GO service saving you a lot of cash www.gotransit.com/en/partners-...

Mayor Carolyn Parrish told CP24 in an interview that Mississauga has done its own speed camera research. Here's what she said: "We're finding speeds have been reduced an average of 14 kilometers per hour." Apparently, Mayor Parrish isn't one of the mayors Ford has spoken with about this. 12/?

Next Elbows Up Toronto meeting booked for October 6. More Jobs for Young People is the call for action.

I didn’t get to see it in person but this is peak grown up Toronto and she is a beauty. Congratulations and thank you for all the magic you’ve brought to the city.
