I used to cycle to work year-round in downtown Toronto. Now I live in the sticks, and take the GO train. Woo.
On the train. Always on the damn train.

Tonight, a corner off a small street in Ajax is darker than it has ever been in many decades
A porch chair is empty
A light is out.
A gentle, kind woman who greeted all to our street with a sparkling smile, every single day from that porch, my mother's best friend, is gone.

I know it’s become a cliche, but it really is absolutely fucking amazing Keith Richards is still alive.

What driving a massive BMW SUV killing machine isn't enough risk for you, you decide to text while driving as well. #phonekills

Australia have installed their drainage network with nets so plastics & pollutants cannot reach rivers or seas.
This doesn't require a lot of money. It requires willingness to change!
Let's drive this initiatives across all places & step forward for a cleaner & greener planet🌍

Hi there, while we make announcements and utilize signage in our coaches, the Quiet Zone is not an enforced policy but rather an expectation of behaviour. We can send a request to have more announcements on your train if you feel other passengers are not being considerate. ^QT

At a critical point when Canada faced US tariffs & threats by President Trump to scrap NAFTA altogether, Premier Ford called on Prime Minister Trudeau to unilaterally surrender. Instead, Canada skillfully achieved a new deal. And tariffs were dropped. business.financialpost.com/n…

Today, we joined the Canadian Armed Services to honour those who have served and sacrificed for our country. This Sunday, on Remembrance Day, #GOTransit will honour our veterans and current members of our military with free all-day travel. gotransit.com/veteran #LestWeForget

MT @bmaggiemay: Never trust a former drug dealer who inherited Daddy’s cash cow and tells you he’s for the little guy while driving downtown in his gas-guzzling Navigator, complaining about streetcars. #onpoli #topoli @fordnation @OntarioPCParty

Consistently scrubbing these stories of all human agency on the part of drivers ensures that these preventable crashes are perceived as unavoidable oopsies, falsely reassuring us there’s no need to change anything about the design of a system that allows such deadly consequences.

These jerks called my 22yo daughter a “dumb bitch” after she called them out for cutting her off as she cycled along College St Thurs eve. One of them punched her. License plates flipped up, not much police can do to find them. #VisionZero #BikeTO #TOpoli

Rang my bike bell at a motorist about to door me on College. He opened his door anyway and yelled, "I DON'T CARE! FUCK YOU!" basically summarizing the current war on cyclists/pedestrians in Toronto. #VisionZero #bikeTO

Oh look, another day, another delay while we wait for a a track to to open at Union..... Question for the day: why does it take a all stops train 1 hour to travel from Oshawa to Union, yet 59 minutes for the express train to do the same? @femwriter @ThisCrazyTrain @GOtransitLE – at Toronto, Ontario

When she was 6 months old, my dog was hit by a driver and left for dead. Fortunately, she was strong and survived 4 days on her own in the desert before search dogs found her. She's almost 9 years old now.

Can’t believe sheer number of people who can’t park “between the lines”. I have a much bigger vehicle and have no issues. #GOTransit #commute #parking

Yet Another @PRESTOcard FAIL . Fares have doubled since I first started taking @GOtransit probably to pay for this horrible expensive system
