The second largest city in the world’s largest economy wants to delay building a subway line because a few people are mad that the train would be *checks notes* 80 feet under their homes. This is why we can’t have nice things.

My Toronto Star column: There’s lots of disagreement about Toronto transit projects, but damn near everyone can agree about one thing: electrifying and increasing GO Train service is a great idea It’s a shame Doug Ford’s government has screwed it up again thestar.com/opinion/contri…

Saying “protect private property” about a linear infrastructure project is setting a bad tone in a country that needs high speed rail, pipelines, electrical transmission, new roads etc. Is the CPC vision for Canada “do nothing”? Are they the national NIMBY party?

One subtle cultural difference between Americans and Canadians is that Canadians actually have no word for the number 3. It’s not always obvious in casual conversation with them but you do notice it

The Class 1 freight railroads told us that it would be too expensive for them to electrify, so now everyone gets to see how problematic our logistics network is and how its completely tied to oil prices. Great job everyone

Changes like this, even if they can even be reversed, will consume inordinate amounts of time for the next Dem administration. It's much, much easier to destroy something than to create it.

Such a mindf*ck. The "reason" is mostly apparently because we are too incompetent and so our apparent thought leaders solution is to give up. I wouldn't want to be stuck somewhere with no food, one imagines op-eds preceding our starvation "Walking is dangerous and risky".
