New: Several well-placed sources, leaked documents and recordings of internal town halls detail how a bitter, years-long falling out with a European partner has led Metrolinx to scale back its ambitious GO Expansion plan. No paywall. #onpoli thetrillium.ca/news/the-trill…

Why, did they hire Metrolinx?

this is funny because american cities DO have charming little urban flourishes like this if you care enough to look!
